Even calling it ocd doesn't do its justice.... Its a demon, tormenting you day and night. Non stop, even in your sleep.


Instruction: What’s something people romanticize that’s actually awful?

Response: ADHD. Having to fight against my own brain to do basic tasks is so exhausting and yet people will say how "we all have a little ADHD" just because they are having a forgetful or slow day. Or how they'd love to hyperfoucs on things so they can get stuff done. If I got to choose what my brain decided to get insanely obsessed with, it'd be something like cleaning the house or getting through my emails, rather than researching elden ring stories and character lore

I've worked with a number of wranglers, and the ones that aren't specifically getting paid to romanticize it (e.g., the ones leading mule teams at the Grand Canyon) are pretty candid about how it's a tiresome and lonely life where you breathe dust all day and sleep in cow shit every night.

Mental disorders.
Multiple members of my family have Personality disorders and they drove me insane, I can count myself in for romanticizing them too as when I was researching them all I thought it was incredibly cool.

When you actually have to live with them, their instability, worst habits, and the knowledge that them ever changing (other than getting worse) or improving, is nearly impossible, that they will always be this insufferable.

Even my aunt who I think is the nicer one, she has BPD, she ended up yelling curses and insults at me because I dared to get away from my abusive mother??? And she was irrational enough to believe that was gonna destroy our whole family permanently and I had ruined everything.

That's the more serious ones to be fair, even more minor "fun" disorders actually Suck, like ADHD genuinely ruins so much I hate it. autism is cool though, but mine is minor to be fair.

Platypuses

Platypuses live a surprisingly idyllic life, they don't have many predators. If you could choose to be any animal, you'd be far happier as a platypus than the vast majority of animals I think. Also the more you learn about them the cooler they are.

Platypuses deserve more cred

P.s. watching zoo platypus live streams is a fantastic way to wake up to coffee in the morning or wind down in the evening. There's one in San Diego and one in Australia so I switch to the one they're active. Platypus zoomies in the water are fucking adorable.


Instruction: What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30?

Response: boasting about how much you can drink, or how hard you can 'party'.


Instruction: What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30?

Response:
In my experience, being hard-to-get/emotionally unavailable.

APPARENTLY around 18 my stupid horny brain couldn't get enough of the type who didn't really want anything beyond casual sex or friendship, but would drop just enough crumbs to keep me/anyone else within arm's reach for their convenience. These days I wouldn't have the brainpower to tolerate that nor enough disdain towards myself to even put up with it, and imagining someone in their 30s still behaving like that feels very cringe-worthy.

Just gotta be honest about what you want, and if you're not sure what you want then don't put yourself out there until you figure it out! No need to break people's hearts in your own self-discovery process.

Instruction: What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30?

Response:
Being a mean girl. At 18 I thought these people were so confident and socially aware and that’s why they got away with their behavior. I thought they had it all figured out. I thought every insult they gave me was a valid and constructive criticism. I’m not going to lie. Being called fat and being told my acne was gross did make me get into shape and finally see a dermatologist. I never noticed the inappropriate behavior because I agreed.

It’s super cringe seeing a 30 year old act like this. ESPECIALLY in the workplace. Making fun of random people who never did anything to over stuff they can’t control like acne, height, etc. calling people by the wrong name on purpose and laughing. Throwing a tantrum because “this task needs to get done now” so they can leave early to get their hair done. Self proclaimed “girl boss” posers. Disgusting behavior.

Instruction: What is something attractive at 18 but embarrassing at 30?

Response: Playing cat and mouse with someone you're romantically interested in. At 18 it is fun to decipher their words and messages and wonder if they are into you and to drop little hints without giving too much away on your side. When you get older, straightforward communication is way more attractive. Ironically my BF and I got a chance to do both. We met at 19 and did the cat and mouse then didn't see each other for years. When we met again in our mid-twenties we said "hey, I'm still into you as it turns out, let's do this for real". Still together now ❤

Instruction: What’s something your ex said that still sticks with you?

Response:
We had been together for 18 years.  I had been diagnosed with cancer which was surgically treated three years before. We were on a mini-vacation and I had a surveillance scan coming up.  I mentioned I was getting scanxiety, and her response was, "I don't really care."  That was pretty much the end.

Editing to consolidate some info since I wasn't expecting this much reaction:

1. I'm NED (no evidence of disease). My type of cancer was neuroendocrine, so there's a ten year surveillance protocol after NED.  I follow it rigorously. I appreciate the kind comments and I'm healthy.

2. Her response was...lacking.  But having to deal with cancer on the heels of COVID shutdown really sucked, and if I had to do it again I would have sought out therapy for myself immediately. I was 'fine' during treatment, but I was a mess after. Once the appointments stopped and I had the chance to live with the reality of it, I think I was depressed for a while. I'm sure that was unpleasant for her.

3. While unlucky in love at the end of my marriage, we had a mostly great time. And I was super lucky with my incidental diagnosis, so if you've been putting off any recommended screenings, please don't. Nobody wants to do a colonoscopy, but it's a couple of unpleasant days and may save your life. And with the cologuard type advances, there are some good options.

It wasn't an ex, but someone who was a friend who was a woman.

"No one wants to be with someone who is sad all the time."

That really stuck with me, and I was really hurt by what she said, but in the end, it caused me to do some self reflection and change my life outlook.

I have been happily married for over 10 years, and I owe a lot to that harsh criticism.

Oh, where do I even begin?

“At some point, I’d like for us to take a break and see other people…”, literally two months after we started the relationship.

“I can’t be with someone who isn’t as much as a feminist as me”; the start of a recurring “I can’t be with someone who…” pattern.

“I really don’t enjoy talking with you. You’re too predictable”

“Get it: I don’t like her, she’s very annoying”, about my grandma.

“… yay”, unenthusiastically, in front of her whole family, after I gave her red earrings instead of blue ones for Christmas.

“I’m *this* close to breaking up with you”, in front of my whole family during a disagreement.

“I can’t be with someone who isn’t as Catholic as me”, the day she did me the favor of dumping me.

This was about seven years ago. Ever since, I found someone else. She’s everything, loves my grandma AND my parents, and a few weeks ago, I put a ring on it 💍

But when you reject me, and I step outside of our bubble, I can have love for another inside THAT bubble… see?

This was in my 20s and I laugh every time I think of it. One of my friends gave me a glass bubble window ornament I still have to this day to commemorate the audacity 😂

Response:
‘I don’t care how old the baby is you’re just gonna have to learn how to be a mother because I’m not coming back.’ The baby was 3 weeks old and I could barely walk after a really traumatic birth.

He tried to come back 6 months later when it didn’t work out with the other girl. Nah, we’re good.


Instruction: What’s something your ex said that still sticks with you?

Response: My hs gf and I dated through freshman year at different universities. She dumped me day one of sophomore year saying, “I am afraid we will date and get married at graduation because everyone expects us to.” Four years later we graduated and both got married the same day. So maybe she was right. But I dodged a bullet. Only in hindsight did I see how badly she treat me. That was 50 years ago.

She got mad if I lasted too long. There’s no specific quote and by too long I mean a minute or less. Started accusing me of cheating and all sorts of shit. So I trained brain to cum quick.

That he felt like he was walking on eggshells when I got upset. I always felt like I was a monster.

When I told friends and therapists about it in as much detail as I could remember they helped me realize that he was unable to handle discomfort and weaponized therapy speak to make me feel bad.


Instruction: What’s something your ex said that still sticks with you?

Response:
The time she was mad at me and after a week of this she finally told me it was because i cheated on her...... in a dream she had.

Then the time near end of our marriage she had tests done and was told she had herpes and blamed it on me since she was a virgin when we met. I had no idea if i did but assumed i did as well based on that. After divorce it limited my relationships and i even dated a women who had it figuring i did as well. Few years later somehow came up on conversation that she never had it, the hospital had a bunch of false positive tests.  She knew for those years and never told me. Luckily the women i dated we were still careful and she never had outbreak so no transmission and ive tested clean several times since.

She called me a druggie piece of shit. For being high on pot. Now, to be fair she wasn’t too far off but we were married and had 2 kids together. I was always present, provided, and a hard worker/ bread winner. I wanted those things to overlook my issues with substance abuse.
I did quit the substances eventually, but that still echoes in my head

Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Angle grinders. The amount of people cutting and grinding things with them with the wrong disk makes me wince.

Most people have no idea that grinding aluminium with a standard disk can cause it to explode.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: A broom. They work best and last the longest when little pressure is applied and the broom angle is close to perpendicular to the floor. People use them like a rake and/or press down, causing the bristles to curl. Once that happens, the bristles themselves run almost parallel to the floor and it works very poorly.

Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
This is for all the 3d printing enthusiasts and makers, bolt and screw holes.

The bolt or screw should only be engaging with one of the pieces. The hole in the first pieces should be larger so that the threads don't engage with it, you should be able to slide the bolt through. If you are making a bolted connection with a nut the threads shouldn't engage with anything but the nut. If you end up threading both pieces it can actually make it impossible to tighten the two pieces together without stripping the hole.

Learn to use clearance holes people!


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: A Multi-Tool is useful. No denying that. But if you find yourself needing one of the specific tools with any frequency, get a specialized tool for it. You’ll find the job becomes much easier with the specialized tool.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Stretching the definition of tool, but WD40.

It's not a lubricant. It's a water displacing solvent.

The lubricating and rust protecting properties are almost zero after a short time because it evaporates. Plenty of times people think it lubricated whatever they're working on when they just cleaned the gunk out.

It's plenty useful for cleaning and driving out moisture, but for the love of god stop using it as a lubricant.

Also, adjustable wrenches are directional. The sliding side should be doing the "leading" on the fastener

You will catch me using a screw driver as a lever/alignment tool WAAAAAY sooner than you'll catch me using a pozi head driver on a philips head fastener, or vice versa.

Philips and pozi look similar, but don't play well together. I actually kinda despise the fact that pozi even exists. I'm a philips supremacist....

Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: Most rasps and files only remove material when pushed. Applying pressure on the pullback isn't only pointless, it can damage the rasp/file depending on the material.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Channel locks - should be oriented so the lower jaw teeth face the direction you’re turning.  I’ve seen countless people use them the opposite way.

The reason is in the tooth design, they’re angled to bite and grip in one direction.  When positioned correctly, the tool digs in and holds under load.  Used the wrong way, it’s more likely to slip.

It’s the same principle as a pipe wrench - direction matters.

Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Flat head screw drivers.

Sometimes people use them to drive screws. This is probably the thing they are worst at

They are wedges, pry bars, spring hooks, chisels, and sometimes hammers, but never screw drivers.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: Click style torque wrenches.  Improper technique and over torquing.  People store them set, when they should release the tension before storage.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
As a 30 year tradesman.

Every tool has limitations. It takes practice, knowledge and a bit of experimentation to figure that out.

I've seen experienced people people do more with a Leatherman multi-tool than a apprentice with a chest full of Snap-On tools.

The trick is to learn, and that takes time and active thoughtfulness about the job you are doing.

Also - cheap tools are generally a universal problem. If it is from the dollar store or Ikea it is garbage. No matter your experience level. But even places like Canadian Tire or Harbor Freight sell decent tools.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Carpenter: Crowbar. The hooked end is a last resort, the flat is far less destructive to the material and usually enough to get things started.

Mechanic: Torque wrench. They need to be stored between -1 and +1 to preserve the spring. If you leave it at 100 ft/lbs, you're going to lose calibration much faster.

Machinist: Endmills are not routers for metal. You need to take many small passes. If you rush it you'll break the bit and/or end up with chatter and a rough surface.

Blacksmith: The forge. Preheat your anvil with a sacrificial hunk of metal and soak your piece longer than you think you need to. Being in a rush will cause cracking, stress and a brittle grain structure.

Chefs/cooks: Sharp knives are less dangerous, never skip a sharpening and hone the edge after every use.

Q-tips but if a tool is misused enough, surely it becomes THE tool for the job.

I will point out that you don't simply regas your AC. If your AC is low you have a leak which needs to be fixed.

Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: I'll cop flak for this, but hacksaws. Tensioned blades work best when they cut on the pull stroke. I'll agree the difference on hacksaws isn't as pronounced as with, say, a fret saw. Try it and you might be surprised.

Response: Anything can be a hammer if you need a hammer.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response:
Torque wrenches. If it goes click but the fastener doesn't move doesn't mean you're at the correct torque. You're probably over torqued. Torque wrenches click when you're at least at that torque. You could be at twice the torque that the fastener is spec'd to and the wrench will still go click. Also don't use them as breaker bars.

I've had a decent handful of customers that decided to do their own changeovers and have had to replace broken studs because they were way too tight and snapped.

Not a tool but how people do tire pressure, it may say max 44psi on the tire but that doesn't mean put 44psi in it, if you look somewhere on the driver's door or B pillar there should be a tire placard which tells you how much pressure each tire should have spec'd to the vehicle. If you have a vehicle that you're hauling a trailer or heavy load with then fine, pump the tires up some, but for everyday use go by the tire placard.

Tire plugs, people use them correctly in getting them home or whatever with a leaky tire but they're a temporary fix. Get the tire patched properly afterwards.

Tire tubes, people think they're a fix all, but if there's a slash in the sidewall of a tire a tube isn't going to do anything besides blow out the first time it gets pinched by it. I don't care if you just bought the atv tires 1 week ago and they're brand new, it's now junk.

Using chrome sockets on an impact gun, I used to use them all the time until I got a piece of one lodged 8nto my arm slighty after in exploded. Now it's an impact socket or I'm doing it by hand.

The other thing is almost any type of chemical. Using the wrong DOT brake fluid, using the wrong antifreeze, using brake cleaner as lube. Using grease in caliper slide pins. Using white lithium grease to lube something thats semi exposed to the elements such as dust and dirt. Just because they seem to have the same effect doesn't mean that it's the right one for the job. Especially antifreeze, if you use the wrong antifreeze it'll work for a while until something corrodes or gives out, stick to whatever the manufacturer says unless you have experience and know what you're doing.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: Plungers. Far too many people use a sink plunger in a toilet. Toilet plungers are a different shape to fit the bowl.  Sink plungers are flat to fit over a drain.


Instruction: Engineers or mechanics of Reddit; what’s a tool or machine people use all the time that’s actually being used incorrectly most of the time?

Response: Fasteners. You would be shocked to see how many things are mounted with incorrect fasteners. Sheet metal screws get used to mount things to wood walls, stainless screws fastened to steel beams, thread lock, torque, grade, and plating callouts completely ignored because some project manager decided we don’t need to listen because we have screws at home. Also, “the customer is complaining their product is loose, rattling, rusting etc. is there anything we can do to fix it? Why doesn’t your design work?”

I normally just keep one in though all the time so I can still hear stuff.


Instruction: People that drive with earbuds, why do you do it?

Response:
Network engineer, a subset of IT that basically deals with how the data movement itself works.

I’m an anesthesiologist. Usually unless I’m talking to another healthcare professional, people are like “oh cool” and that’s the end of that conversation.

I think there’s a perception that the job is just sitting there while surgery happens, but it is SO much more than that. I think it’s incredibly cool, fascinating, rewarding work (most of the time).

Response:
That we all desperately want sons and not daughters.
I have 4 daughters and every time my wife was pregnant I got constant comments saying "I bet you hope it's a boy" or "I hope it's a boy for your sake".
I never cared or really even thought about whether or not I specifically wanted a son. We wanted to have a family, we have one, and we love them all.
When people hear I have 4 daughters they all expect I'm somehow suffering or must feel like I'm being punished and must wish I had a boy, or ask if we'll try one more time to get a boy.
Men who try to be / are good fathers don't give a damn about the gender of our children, we care about their safety, health, and happiness. That's all

So many women I have met think we can get hard on demand or from a single thought and while some.men can be easily turned on we cannot just get hard on command.


Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response:
We are non emotional. This is harmful and untrue. Our emotional range is just as great and deep as anyone; we're simply socialised to suppress most feelings - with the noted exception of anger.

It's much harder to teach emotional literacy and awareness to adults too. By the time boys have become men and internalised this "men are not as emotional" myth, so much time has been wasted in suppressing the richness of our emotional experiences.

The horniness, and the fixation on not going X period of time without sex.  Got divorced 3 years ago.  Decided not to pursue casual sex for safety and respect reasons (mine, and the hypothetical next "hers"), and because I was sad about the loss.  I've just been enjoying my peace alone.  The next person I have sex with will be someone I genuinely want to spend time with.  I haven't met anyone in 3 years that meets that criteria.  If I wanted to primp myself, go out to "3rd places" I dont actually enjoy, tell women what I know they want to hear, whether it's true or not, etc etc, I could "get laid".  But I don't want to get laid.  I want someone to care about me, really care about me.  I won't find that with bar girls, so I don't bother trying that route.  Hitting on women at the grocery store is creepy.  So my focus is on making a few more friends, just getting to know a few people with no ulterior motive.  If they say "Heeeey, I know someone who you should meet," great.  If not.... whatever, my dog actually wants me home.  If I have to choose between spending time with someone who doesn't really or won't care about me on a deep level, and keeping my dog company, that's an easy choice.

We want love as much as anyone, and a mature man knows the difference between love and sex.

Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response:
That guys just get together and talk about sex and women's bodies all day. We'd much rather talk about sports or movies or politics or literally anything else. The most we talk sexually about women is a harmless, offhanded dirty joke here and there.

I remember an old BuzzFeed video back in like 2012 or something that was questions women have for men, and it was just full of extremely sexist male stereotypes, most of which were complete BS, and one of them was "why do y'all just stand around talking about boobs all day." We don't. Sorry to disappoint.


Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Nope, not even close.


Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response: That they *all* think periods are gross. I have a gynaecological disease that causes random bleeding/cramping and so it’s something I frequently suffer from. My boyfriend has never had issues buying me sanitary pads or asking me questions about the “gory” (lol) stuff. He just wants to understand my body and make me feel safe and comfortable.

Lots of guys bond by taking shots at each other.


Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response:
That we're not emotional. Men tend to be far more emotional, and at the very same time, less emotionally intelligent, than women of the same developmental age.

Violence is universally emotional disregulation. Although men can employ a low emotional state for long periods of time, and our interactions have a high likelihood to be low energy where emotions are concerned, it can switch easily, and does.

The less often men speak openly about how they feel, the less they tend to be able to regulate strong emotions. It's an advantage women tend to carry, in that they're expected to do this often.

Men are often raised to suppress outward signs of emotions, except anger, as they're seen as feminine or weak. This cripples adult males in many areas.

We crave all the same things as women. We want comfort, love, safety, and companionship. We're just not allowed to seek it in a way that also shows we're not the leader.

So many of us simply aren't leaders, don't want to be leaders, and that's ok. But even the leaders amongst us need these things. It's often expressed as over sexualizing, danger seeking, and aggression.

We're expected to put everyone else ahead of ourselves, but it take a great deal of energy to do it. That, combined with the social pressure to be strong at all costs leads to a significantly higher suicide rate than women, higher violence in relationships, and often lower interaction with the kids that we spawn - which purpetuates broken households and poverty.

Meanwhile, having that cruel, sharpie sharklike outlook also create the very problems society is unable to solve - billionaires, Kings, and the criminal substrate upon which they operate.

Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response:
It's much less serious than the rest here, which are a lot of valid points, but:

That our public toilets are dirtier than the womens.

I have spoken to enough women who visit and/or have cleaned toilets open to the public.
And to the other half as well, who assume that our toilets are dirtier.

From what I can gather, they are not.

I don't know what some women get up to in there, but neither do the other women and we are all puzzled and appaled.


Instruction: Whats something that's 100% a myth about men?

Response: Small penis men overcompensate in some way like loud cars, big trucks, aggressive behavior, mean spirited. I have a small dick and I am literally the opposite. And I feel like most other guys with small dicks are pretty shy and reserved too. The whole "small dick energy" thing is just body shaming and it's sad.

Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Response: My toddler has such an innate sense of confidence and who she is.  She’s the light of my life and brings me so much joy each day. It’s made me realize how fucked societal expectations of girls can be. I’m doing everything I can as her dad to foster her self confidence so it doesn’t get torn down as she gets older. My wife always said being a teenage girl is so tough and I feel like it’s our job as dads to be that rock for our girls to be themselves.

I think you learn many things along the way, like I didn’t believe people when they said you love them so much it hurts.

But as a dad of two daughters I was shocked at how different personalities can be like it’s wild…

Our eldest is like a Disney princess

And our youngest is just chaos in a mini human

Wouldn’t change a thing


Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Response:
That we still don’t talk enough about the natural things that occur in a woman’s body. It’s still taboo to talk about in many circles/communities. I thought I was being a good dad when my daughter visited and I didn’t ask about her period. That way I wasn’t embarrassing her. But truly I was protecting myself from embarrassment I was conditioned to have regarding periods.

My daughter had very aggressive bleeding. She was grabbing something from a cabinet and passed out. I was so scared. Called her mom and she asked if she was having her period. Yeah, excessive bleeding had led to her being anemic. She has since been put on birth control to help regulate it.

But what the hell! I should have known that and been able to help her.

Response:
We had my son (5M) first. I distinctly remember changing my daughter’s first BM. I took the diaper off and immediately was like, wait, what’s the strategy here? My wife caught my pause and just immediately goes “FRONT TO BACK, FRONT TO BACK!”

TLDR; you can wipe a baby boys butt up, down, sideways, whatever as long as it’s clean. Does not work the same on daughters…


Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Response: The number of men in these comments talking about realizing they treated girls poorly is a bit distressing. So you didn’t realize girls and women were people deserving of your respect and kindness until one of them was your kid? What? The woman who birthed your child was someone’s daughter too. Beyond that, every girl and woman is also a whole human in and of herself, just like boys are. The message I’m taking from this thread is boys need to be raised better.


Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?

Response:
Never was a girl Dad, we had two sons, but the oldest granddaughter lived with us and her Dad, (oldest son) after a failed relationship and the fact he was finishing college and an internship.

What was crazy was seeing how that little girl ( from 3-7) processed and thought about things compared to our sons.

She had to process everything from 5 different angles it seemed, while our sons would just grunt and say ok.

She always wanted to be the center of attention, and has grown up to be an engaging young woman at 21.

My younger granddaughter, now 20, entered my sons family with his wife when they got together, she is more shy and modest and reserved, but happily they get along well.

As their grandfather I'm crazy about both of them, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of protective of them.

Response:
I had a son with my wife before we had our daughter. My son is so much like me (although so much better), and I naturally expected my daughter to be similar.

I was so wrong - she is nothing like me. She's a miniature version of my wife.

She is the strongest most independent little girl. She's always surprising me. She does the opposite to every natural tendency I have and I just love her more and more for it.

For me it was the realization that for the first time in my life that I loved another being unconditionally.

The moment they put her in my arms I began ugly girl crying, snot and all, and kept saying "I love you so much, I love you so much".

To this day, many years later, I can't think of the day she was born and not begin crying. Tearing up simply writing this.

Hey, Girl Dads, now that we're all together, may I just remind you (Girl-Mom to Girl-Dad, much respect to you all) of a few things?

• Wipe front to back, no exceptions.

• After you wash her hair, if you have to comb it, start at the bottom and work up.

• There is nothing wrong or dirty about periods or period products. Learn about things like this so you can be helpful and informative to her when she needs you. And she DOES need you.

• How you treat her and her mom is how she will expect to be treated by her partner when she’s older. I didn't know a man might enjoy me for *me* because my dad was always hiding from us kids.

• NEVER talk shit about women or their looks in front of your children. They'll hear it enough from middle school boys. Be their safe space.

• Interpersonal drama is as serious as a fist-fight. What you see as "idle gossip" is, in fact, active relationship building. Listen and try to provide support, not solutions. You don't *have* to care. You just have to engage.

• You can teach your girl child to pitch, pass, fish, hunt, golf, race, and fix and build stuff the same way you do your boy child. They don't have to be GOOD at anything you enjoy, just spend that time with them. My friend takes his daughter bow hunting. I can't even use a slingshot, and she was taking down big-ass deer at the age of 10 with a BOW. HAVE A BLAST with them!

• SPORTS ARE FOR GIRLS. WOMEN'S SPORTS MATTER.

• SCIENCE IS FOR GIRLS. WOMEN SCIENTISTS MATTER.


Instruction: Girl Dad's of Reddit, what is the most surprising thing you've learned since your daughter was born?
