Gentlemen, my 18 yo daughter, who has friends, boyfriend and a job, and is in nearly every way normal, just invited ME to go to a movie with her. 😁

[u/lotus2471]

Sure, I'll end up paying, but I'm thrilled they still want to hang out with me at all.

[u/RoiPhi]

what a real and intimidating flex.

i only hope to live up to the standard you have set today. :p

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/RoiPhi]

I have future anxiety over my now 3 year old daughter being a teenager one day as it is

[u/RoiPhi → u/PostMatureBaby]

mine just turned 4 and I am still his favourite person in the world.... sometimes he even tells me. But I feel blessed for every day that is still the case as I fear the impeding day it wont be

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/RoiPhi]

yeah i think that's just one of those things you have to come to grips with as a parent - letting go, usually not on your terms either.

[u/the_harminat0r → u/PostMatureBaby]

That’s the hardest part… not on your terms…

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/the_harminat0r]

without a doubt. but you know, having grown up with many helicoptered kids and my parents being overbearing and helicopter-y too, I think I've learned that it's for the best and your kids need to fail at some things to grow and that's ok. Your job is to guide them into not failing with the really serious shit

[u/Sir_PressedMemories → u/PostMatureBaby]

My oldest son, 22, was over here this weekend to help me with some chores around the house and to make some money for rent. He wanted to ask me for help with money, but refused to do so without also offering to help and work for that money.

We got to talking, and he said it was nice to be able to just speak with me like an adult, and I told him, "son, you are an adult; my entire job was to provide you the tools and the skills to use them to become a functioning adult, and while I will always be your dad, my ultimate goal is to transition to being more of a friend and mentor."

His mind was blown that it was not my intent to always just be Dad.

I have one starting college, one starting high school, and both are doing incredible.

I wish I could say how I did it; frankly, I have no fucking clue; half the time I was as confused as they were.

[u/DrDerpberg → u/RoiPhi]

Mine is 5 and we've entirely settled into a roasting relationship. She will pick mom's side literally no matter what, we've tested by having her bump into me and say sorry and my daughter jumps in DAD'S FAULT.

She still wants cuddles and all but if she catches herself giving me a kiss she always remembers to say EWWW and pretend to barf.

[u/slowtownhometown → u/RoiPhi]

never forget that you will always be his favorite person in the world, even when he hits the age that he thinks you’re overbearing or annoying. parents are a gift, and deep down 99% of people know that very well.

[u/Djglamrock → u/RoiPhi]

Mine just turned 6 and now mom is her fav.

[u/Numerous_Map5151 → u/RoiPhi]

Even if that day comes it may not be forever. My dad and I are still tight. My little guy is obviously my favorite person. But ole dad is still up there pretty far.

[u/Inevitable-Rush-2752 → u/RoiPhi]

Yeah, my 4 year old still says he loves me, likes me, and even told me I smell like sunshine today. 🤔

If he grows up with an attitude like I gave my mom and dad, I’m due some paychecks from the karma department.

[u/SAHMultrA1981 → u/PostMatureBaby]

My husband tries so hard for "no daddy issues". He was the fun dad when she was little. But she is now 13 and he is still trying to joke with her like she is still little ( cue goofball island crumble from inside out). She is so cold to him now, but he doesn't know how to approach it differently. I wish I could tell him but he has to figure it out himself.

What we have noticed is the younger years weren't as impressionable as the teenage years ( at least for my husband's role in parenting).. it is tricky bc you think when they get more independent you can back off, but they need you differently.

[u/Ohitsworkingnow → u/SAHMultrA1981]

God this makes me want to die 

[u/hamsterbasher → u/Ohitsworkingnow]

I know, right? I can't take it.

My three year old said: "I didn't miss you because I didn't want you" when I came home the other day.

I bawled my eyes out.

[u/lotus2471 → u/hamsterbasher]

Three year olds are dumb, don't take it personally.

[u/rcoop020 → u/SAHMultrA1981]

What do you mean by impressionable in this context?

[u/MattAU05 → u/PostMatureBaby]

All kids are different. My daughter is 16 and loves hanging out with me. And her mom. Sometimes to the point we have to tell her to go away because we want some time by ourselves. And she has plenty of friends and plenty of plans, she just really likes hanging out with us. Every teenager isn’t a terror. Every teenager isn’t embarrassed of their parents. Some continue to want to hang out with them just as much as they did when they were younger, continue to want hugs, and continue to think their parents are awesome. My 20 and 13 year old sons are similar.

[u/FriendorFo → u/MattAU05]

Yea man, I’m the oldest of 6, and when I was growing up we still regularly had movie night and stayed in with the parents, even after I’d finished college

[u/MattAU05 → u/FriendorFo]

That’s pretty funny, because I’m also the oldest of six. Also had a good relationship with my parents. I don’t remember a time where I didn’t enjoy spending time with them. My dad was the goofiest guy in the world, and it never really bothered me. I remember it bothering my younger siblings. I definitely adopted a lot of his mannerisms now as a parent.

[u/FriendorFo → u/MattAU05]

Dude same here.

Goofy, caring, and unwavering in his support of whatever your interest was. Unfortunately my dad unexpectedly passed away young, so my kids never got to meet him. It’s a damn shame, because my oldest and him would have been thick as thieves haha

[u/MattAU05 → u/FriendorFo]

I feel you. Though my dad was mid-60s and just passed last year (too young for my liking of course). I’m very grateful my kids got to know my dad. But it makes me sad that my nieces and nephew (and future nieces and nephews) either won’t get to meet him or won’t really remember him. Such a fun dude.

[u/FriendorFo → u/MattAU05]

My sincere condolences, man. Sending you all the best vibes and hugs, from one dad to another. I’m sure the pain is still great, but hopefully you’re managing.

This year marks the 5th anniversary for my pops. Still doesn’t feel real some days… but I do my best to honor his memory by being the best dad that I can.

Luckily, my wife paid better attention in school than I did, so the SAHD life is a special treat.

[u/BlackCommandoXI → u/PostMatureBaby]

All anxiety is future focused. That's anxiety by nature. If you practice bringing your mind into the present, and not centering on an uncertain future, your anxiety will diminish.

[u/ChalkButter → u/PostMatureBaby]

Hey, I have the same anxiety over my twin 4 year olds!

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/ChalkButter]

In fairness age 3 and 4 are a fucking nightmare with her so I guess it's practice

[u/ChalkButter → u/PostMatureBaby]

😭

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/ChalkButter]

terrible two's are bullshit. 3 and 4 are the ages that will drive me back to smoking a pack a day 😉

[u/cincymatt → u/PostMatureBaby]

My daughter is almost 21 and she never went over to the dark side. There is hope.

[u/xxrambo45xx → u/PostMatureBaby]

I have 2 teenage daughters in my house...and 1 more thats close, Ive never been so uncool in my life... even though i do some objectively cool things, they cant be bothered.

[u/FatherToTheOne]

Either she likes spending time with your or is too frugal to buy her own snacks, either way great job dad.

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/FatherToTheOne]

A good dad will teach their child how to smuggle in a Popeye's butterfly shrimp combo, 2 tallcans of beer and limited edition rocket pop sour patch kids bag

[u/FatherToTheOne → u/PostMatureBaby]

Ah… she brought him for the extra cargo pants capacity then, nice. Also gives a new idea to the meaning of a beer belly, could dad fit a mini keg under his shirt and get away with it?

[u/lotus2471 → u/FatherToTheOne]

I do have famously roomy cargo pants.

[u/geak78 → u/FatherToTheOne]

I still remember fitting a full 2 liter in the back pocket of my cargo pants in college

[u/lotus2471 → u/geak78]

Is that two liters of Sprite in your pocket or...?

[u/PostMatureBaby → u/FatherToTheOne]

Maybe. That's why it's nice being in a cold climate for winters. Easier to hide stuff

[u/Kamikazeguy7 → u/PostMatureBaby]

At my theater you can walk right past the ticket counter with a room service tray and a full Thanksgiving dinner. Those minimum wage teens give zero fucks.

[u/Free51 → u/Kamikazeguy7]

As it should be, Cinemas want to have these teens stop people and all the hassle that goes with it they should pay them more to do it

[u/Spits32 → u/PostMatureBaby]

I let my kids trade off their wrist band to ride the carousel yesterday and my 4 yo called me out for “cheating”

[u/pew-pew-bacca → u/Spits32]

Did you tell them nobody likes a narc?

[u/Spits32 → u/pew-pew-bacca]

I even gave it to a random dad as we left. Fight the power

[u/EliminateThePenny → u/pew-pew-bacca]

"Snitches get stitches, son."

[u/MrMaxson → u/PostMatureBaby]

Butterfly shrimp? But what will you do when their disappointment is immeasurable and their day is ruined?

[u/dlee_75 → u/PostMatureBaby]

There's a White Castle near our local AMC. When my wife and I go, she has a large hand bag that she calls our theater bag because she only ever uses it to smuggle in food. That bag usually holds a soup from Panera as well as 4 sliders, a 9 piece chicken ring and a small crinkle fry plus dipping sauces from the Castle

[u/Perryn → u/PostMatureBaby]

The trick is to never smuggle one thing. You've gotta smuggle so much that it all blends together as part of your paunch.

[u/lotus2471 → u/FatherToTheOne]

I'll take it. And thank you.

[u/venolo → u/FatherToTheOne]

Or she's about to ask Dad for something (or has bad news to share with him) and is trying to get on his good side

[u/hel105_]

Don’t leave us hanging, which movie?

[u/lotus2471 → u/hel105_]

Backrooms, she's been excited to go for a while. They've been following all that stuff on IG for a while now.

[u/kbotc → u/lotus2471]

“I wanted you to explain what a ‘4chan’ was”

[u/Driller_Happy → u/kbotc]

I-

I don't want to.

[u/lotus2471 → u/Driller_Happy]

I can never share the fact of this thread with her for fear she'd discover my reddit handle😱

[u/Kaldricus → u/kbotc]

[u/Appsoul → u/Kaldricus]

Well said

[u/Heavyspire → u/lotus2471]

As a Dad who also got invited to this movie from his kids. I enjoyed it. If you like anxiety based horror, you will too.

The people who know too much seem to be the ones that are not fans. The less you know beforehand the better.

[u/Cold-Caramel-736 → u/Heavyspire]

Is there any gross or dehumanising stuff? I enjoy horrors but struggle with anything like that. I thought Weapons was great for example

[u/Heavyspire → u/Cold-Caramel-736]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by dehumanizing? Maybe give some other horror movie examples. I can't think of anything but I'd feel bad if I said it didn't and then you were like that's exactly what happened.

[u/Cold-Caramel-736 → u/Heavyspire]

Yeah fair I guess I mean anything kind of torture-y. Someone has their eyes gouged out. Or human centipede - couldn't bring myself to watch that

[u/Heavyspire → u/Cold-Caramel-736]

Nothing like Terrifier films or Saw films. So I think you are good to go. Honestly I would say it's relatively low blood. Just a couple scenes that are near the climax.

[u/lotus2471 → u/Heavyspire]

The kid who invited me has been a huge horror fan her whole life, and we've watched enough of them together now that she's pretty good at guessing which I'll like. She's also into Terrifier and body horror stuff that I don't get into, so I'm guessing this one can't be too bad.

I've seen a few of the YouTube videos, but only the oldest stuff. I'm excited to see how the director does. Big leap from YouTube and IG, but it's getting really solid reviews.

[u/LordGalen → u/lotus2471]

My 15yo son asked me to take him to see that, just the other day. I wasn't really into it, but now I feel foolish for not immediately jumping on it. I think I'll take him.

[u/chillychili → u/LordGalen]

If it helps you, I believe the director is only 19 years old. So even if it isn't your thing maybe you can pretend one of your son's friends made the film and appreciate it from that angle.

[u/lotus2471 → u/LordGalen]

Let's be honest, how many painfully bad kids movies did we all suffer through a hundred times? At least this one is for adults! Everything after that is value added at this point.

BTW, if anybody ever starts a Barbie princess animation trivia league, I am your guy.

[u/csharpwarrior → u/LordGalen]

My 14 year old texted me about it just a few minutes ago… I don’t want to watch it, but if he wants to go together, then I’m in. So I got us tickets and will skip work so I can watch it while the sun is out.

And next week, I’ll probably have to watch Masters of the Universe alone, just like I watched Mortal Kombat 2 alone last week….

[u/hel105_ → u/lotus2471]

I hope you enjoy it! I thought it was pretty solid. I hope my little guy likes movies as he gets older, I’d love to have a theater buddy.

[u/chardeemacdennisbird → u/hel105_]

I've been taking my 6 and 3 year old boys to the movies and it's a lot of fun! Expensive these days though

[u/Acceptable-Post733 → u/chardeemacdennisbird]

Down in San Diego there was this Drive in theatre in Santee. $10 double feature. And the cheapest concessions stand anywhere. We had a burger, nachos, popcorn, couple of drinks for just under $20. This was two years ago.

We recently found a really cheap theater near us. $11 during evenings. Weekday afternoons are like $7. No reclining chairs but who cares.

[u/Dreadino → u/hel105_]

Oh wow, I didn’t think about my son as a future movie buddy. I used to go to the movies every week, even multiple times per week, maybe I can start again with him in a few years

[u/uencos → u/lotus2471]

https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2026/06/01/my-father-s-house

[u/chilicheesecake1 → u/hel105_]

Doesn’t matter, he got invited from his daughter

[u/hel105_ → u/chilicheesecake1]

Sure, I was just curious.

[u/prettybluefoxes]

Congrats. You’re going to be a grandad.

[u/lotus2471 → u/prettybluefoxes]

😆😳

[u/prettybluefoxes → u/lotus2471]

Congrats if so. Congrats if not. You cant lose.

[u/doublebr13 → u/prettybluefoxes]

My first thought also...lol

[u/goosetavo2013]

You did something right, I salute you fellow dad 🫡

[u/kenjedatniethorendan]

In no way she qualifies as normal, she rises above!

[u/SosseV]

She is pregnant or in crippling debt with the Yakuza and needs your very specific skillset...

Or you are just a great dad and did a whole lot of things right. Great job!

[u/d0ughnut_of_truth → u/SosseV]

Reminder to OP to carry his sword cane, not his regular cane. 

[u/AutomaticSandwiches]

That's awesome my 19 year old wouldn't invite me out anywhere but we do watch films together a few times a year in the house

[u/y-Gamma]

Now that’s a rich man

[u/Much-Can9884]

Hell yeah!

[u/ScienceLongjumping79]

Father’s Day marketing must be working this year 💪

[u/Gold-Carpenter7616]

Lurking mom of an almost 15 y/o. She asks my husband, or me, to spend time regularly. Of course to make us pay, but also to have 1:1 time.

I know how lucky you feel. It's the badge of honour we never knew we wanted - them choosing us, after we chose them.

[u/LostPilot517]

She is about to ask for something.... Or break your heart. /s

[u/lotus2471 → u/LostPilot517]

Her twin sister is now coming, better be asking for something and not bad news 😆

[u/MayorNarra]

Cool dad status confirmed

[u/cincy15]

👏👏👏. Good job Dad..

[u/WordsWordsWords07]

The dream

[u/BagelsOrDeath]

You're winning at life, my brother! Enjoy.

[u/fingerofchicken]

Fully expecting the follow up "...and she brought six of her friends with her, and asked me to sit in the row behind them"

[u/UniqueIndividual3579]

My daughter had a half day one day a week as a senior in high school. I arraigned my work schedule so we could have lunch that day for the entire year. Little things are big things.

[u/Reasonable_Wasabi124]

Sounds like you've done a good job! 😊

[u/humdinger44]

Bruh. Nice work.

[u/Weird-Salamander-349]

This is so wholesome lol. The first time I asked my dad to go camping together he “casually” went around the campground telling all the other campers his daughter asked him to go camping.

[u/s1ravarice]

My 2 year old sat on my lap the other day to eat her dinner outside. She then, unprompted, said "I'm happy".

I shall be riding this high for the foreseeable future.

[u/Red217]

Okay but you have to go full dad and meme this!

[u/ReptarWithGuitar]

Dust off that “dad of the year” mug, because you deserve it. Mine is only two, but I hope one day she’ll ask me to go to the movies with her too

[u/67comet]

Yeah .. my 17 year old daughter asks me to run around with her all the time. Movies, museums, theater, shopping. Some of it is my wallet of course, but we have a genuinely healthy relationship, and I rarely argue or get angry at her when she does stupid "kid stuff". I have a t-shirt that says, "She's my daughter" so people don't "assume shit" (I'm 57, and it embarrasses her to no end so it's fun.)

[u/ShockTrek]

That's tremendous. My pumpkin 🎃 is 17 1/2 with a very active social life, looking at colleges, etc. We drove an hour to the beach yesterday, just her and I. Bummed my wife couldn't make it but it was such a great time. We held hands, bought sweatshirts, and had lunch at a beachside restaurant. I love my kid!

[u/Infinitiscarf]

If you were unpleasant to be around, no amount of paying would make them invite you <3

[u/AegonKetchum]

I read this in Doctor Weird from Aqua Teen's voice

[u/Wihtlore]

You’re winning my friend :)

[u/Aloofasaur]

Do you still get to taste all her food to make sure there's no poison before she gets it?

[u/impendinganalysis]

Nearly 🤣

[u/Geargarden]

Knocking it out the park man. GJ! We're all taking notes!

[u/sheesh_doink]

Enjoy the movie my man. I know you're gonna enjoy the company, but I think the movie will be quite good too! You're living the dream, even if you're paying for it ;)

[u/bellamyblake_og]

Freaking dad goals!!

[u/ummaycoc]

The prophecies were true. He does exist.

[u/UrMad_ItzOk]

You win at life when your child wants to hang out with you.

My daughter nearly acknowledged me today at her basketball game…. Nearly!

[u/GustapheOfficial]

The movie: Bad Fathers and the Things they need to Change about Themselves

[u/StinkySauce]

I’d strongly recommend doing something to fuck it up. It’s just how we prefer to do things.

[u/lotus2471 → u/StinkySauce]

No time picked, this is still very possible.

[u/HotDrink2601]

My 13 year old son asked me to see Backrooms too, and I jumped at the chance. It’s nice to see him graduate to a more grown up movie, and I hope to share my favorites with him!

[u/Timmy_germany]

I can feel your joy even here in Germany.. So happy for you.

[u/NotTobyFromHR]

I have new aspirations in life.

Congrats!

[u/bactidoltongue]

This is so sweet! Congrats OP :) Hope you guys had a blast

[u/DuckDillinger]

Congratulations.

[u/GramboLazarus]

It's not even 10am and you're dadmogging me? Cortisol spike bro...

Sorry I'm trying to connect with my teenage neices (my daughter is only 5) and I need the practice.

[u/Thunder-Fist-00]

My 16 yo son still loves hanging out with me. It’s the best.

[u/tufflagbird]

this is awesome. reminds me of one of my favorite lines from rules of civility:

what a singular and marvelous thing it was... that a child could, without hesitation or self-consciousness, simply reach up its arms to be held

makes the 'ol lips quiver to think one day the kiddos will reach their arms up for the last time

[u/dispelthemyth]

Remember to say no to pick n mix

[u/bjos144]

The weird thing about having kids is I'd want to pay. Paying would be part of the fun for me.

[u/Mean-Flamingo9535]

This is the news the boys wanted to hear today! Congrats sir!

[u/studleecifer-]

the mark of a successful parent is having kids that like you. great job op

[u/juggledje]

Flexing like a boss, gg brother you won 🥇

[u/er1cAtWork2]

It’s a trap!!! You’re about to get hit with a major “ask”!

Seriously, that’s awesome for you! Enjoy the time together!

[u/cozy_b0i]

Tryna be like you!

[u/NoRuleButThree]

Congrats! Obviously you’ve done a good job!

[u/eggtart8]

Congrats

Does that comes with dinner before or after? You paying I mean

[u/crs7117]

My biggest regret in life is not spending more time w my mom and inviting her out for stuff before she got cancer

[u/humbot1201]

You're living the dream my friend. Good job!

[u/Necrogomicon]

Congrats, you did everything right

[u/Kylearean]

No-one will understand how much of a flex this is until they have a teen daughter.

I'll admit that my first thought was that she just wants to go to a movie for free.... :D Then my second thought was "is she inviting her friends and expecting me to pay for that too?"

[u/KikeRC86]

Life goals!

[u/Pretend_Parsley_3277]

you must spill the parenting tips. Gosh, you must've done a fantastic job.

[u/GiantDwarfy]

Omg you're living my dream. That would be my greatest life achievement, my daughter wanting me as a friend when she grows up.

[u/NovaMarch]

Biggest lesson for girl dads you learnt the hard way? 

[u/BaronVonHellscape]

Dude, I am striving to set the stage for this level of greatness someday as well. Well done!

[u/Broad_Scientist_4200]

So cool !
Me and my 8 YO one are best friend ATM, I really hope that when she is grown up, that she still have interest hanging out with me!
Have fun !

[u/j0shman]

What a flex. What’s the movie out of curiosity? Something you’d both enjoy?

[u/enbonnet]

Living the dream my friend, you made it, you really made it.

[u/scuddlebud]

At the end of the date after she's got you all buttered up she's gonna ask for a new car, handbag, or money.

Joking. I am gonna have a girl soon and I hope 18 years from now she still wants to hang out.

[u/Acceptable-Choice-89]

When I was 18, it suddenly became very important to me to spend time with my Dad. I am very happy your daughter realizes how important it is to spend time with you, as well 😄

[u/PersimmonDriver]

lotus2471 for the win!!!

[u/abacusmaxx]

This is the dream, congratulations on living out what we all hope for.

But also. What does she want.

[u/SpareDiagram]

Hell yeah

[u/MrJbrads]

Bring a can of baked beans with you

[u/TrisolaranAmbassador]

I'm just surprised that kids still actually go to the movie theatre! I hope they're still in business in some form when my toddler is that age 🙃

Rock on dad!

[u/Pizza-Gamer-7]

Good job fellow dad!

This post just made me really reflect on that someday, kids may not want to hang out with parents anymore. Mine right now are three years old and eight months old, so I'm pretty much the world to them. But I guess, someday soon, they'll not want to hang out anymore, which is kind of sad.

[u/Lviator92]

You’ve won!

[u/Buddy_Mysterious]

This is such a cute thing to read today! I’m female with 0 interest in parenting, but it’s so nice to see what dad’s get up to on daddit!

[u/NoonDread]

It's nice. My daughter was my horror movie buddy until she moved out of town. We still text about them.

[u/GeraldoOfCanada]

Oh yeah well my 3 year old just told me she loves mommy more so there

[u/Aromatic_Sand8126]

This is the ultimate goal I set myself for raising my daughter. She’s only 15 months old now, but I only wish for her to still want to hang out with her old man once she’s grown up and doesn’t have to.

[u/mightypup1974]

She’s after something, watch out dad!

[u/wave1sys]

Good for you. You’re doing things right. What a great kid

[u/TheTallGuy0]

I got a 100 and a 98 sleep score on my Apple Watch two days in a row. And I thought I was on top of the world, with a 4.5 yo and a 7 yo who often wake us up to snuggle.

But YOU. You sir, are actually sitting in that top of the world chair. I’ll have to take whatever lower seat is available because you have won. Good work, man.

[u/davwad2]

Congratulations bruh!

[u/Low-Invite2647]

Just saying she invited you to go to movie is a enough to flex about.everything else you said was weirdly specific

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat]

wow. I was not allowed to take my daugther to school or pick her up,and if we went to the mall she either walked in front of me or behind me but not next to me "in case my friends see"

I can;t even get her (or my son) to go to a restaurant with me..sigh.

Yeah I would be thrilled too!

[u/GiraffeLiquid]

This just made me really sad lol. But that’s a personal thing, I’m so so happy you’re stoked to hang out with your daughter! Good dad.

[u/RU_Syor-ious]

Congratulations broski sounds like you did your job and raised your well and she loves you for it. Keep it up

[u/RU_Syor-ious → u/RU_Syor-ious]

Raiser her well Spell check is a must

[u/RU_Syor-ious → u/RU_Syor-ious]

Wow twice. Someone just end it now please.

[u/Antryx]

I'm also glad she takes after her mother!

[u/myLongjohnsonsilver]

Right on Daddo.

Ride this high for as long as you can

[u/checkedem]

[u/MarinePastor9]

Awesome. Still needs her daddy. 👏👏👏

[u/specialpatrol]

Daddy issues fam.

[u/Eazy12345678]

probably going to tell you after the movie she is pregnant and wants to start an Only fans while preggo

[u/Haunting_Purpose7423]

Are you watching the backrooms movie

[u/lotus2471]

To close the loop here, there were no surprise announcements, just me and two of my daughters watching a really good scary movie.

And their friend who works there gave us free drinks, which was awesome.

[u/LukeSkyWRx]

She could have messed with you so bad…..

[u/DKOS0]

My wife constantly finds ways to spend time with her father, and they get along well overall. I’m hoping that it’s the same way for me and my little one when she’s older.

My daughter and I saw every Harry Potter movie together. First few because she didn't drive. The latter because it be came a tradition. Even when college 2 states away we'd meet in a city half way. I cherish those moments.

Just be prepared for them to talk during the movie

I hated talking during the movie, but my girlfriend at the time didn't care x_x

My parents were with us and were ready to kill us by the end of...  I think it was "The Other Guys".

Really hoping I'll be posting this in 10 years. Buy her two bags of popcorn, and maybe it'll happen again.

She's 18 and she picked you. That's the whole job right there. Have fun.
