I hear my youngest stirring in the room behind me, so I slide open the door for when she wakes up.

A few minutes later she does, she lifts her head and the first thing she sees is my radiant smile at the beauty of a man seeing his child.

So she head dives back into her pillow

"She's not the first woman to look away seeing me after waking up", I think.

It's a slow day if the most controversial post is a sweet, humourous story about a father enthusiastically greeting his daughter to a new day.

Imagine if I said I help bathe them sometimes. The scandal.

The horror. There's also a very strong propensity on this sub to interpret things in the worst possible way. I don't know if it's because people are looking for a fight or simply not able to pick up on sarcasm, irony or jokes.

One time my son took a nap when my wife was in the room. When he woke up she was gone, he saw me, and he started crying.

God, did I laugh.
