From one dad’s heartwarming reaction to his son’s new doll to another’s touching promise to dress as a Disney princess to match his little boy this Halloween, there are some serious contenders for our ‘Dad of the Year’ – and another’s just joined the ranks.
Reddit user sixstringhook’s son loves watching his parents cook, so when his second birthday came around, he built his boy a homemade kitchen playset complete with a refrigerator, taps and an oven with working LED lights.
But after posting a picture of his incredible handiwork online, internet trolls were quick to brand his son a “faggot” over his choice of hobby.
“You should rename your son Caitlyn,” wrote one commenter, while another wrote: “You are what is wrong with your country… I hope your kid gets beat up at school.”
One person added: “Seems a little gay to me.”
The dad in question wasn’t going to take the criticism lying down though, standing his ground and rightly telling the trolls: “If my kid wanted a Barbie doll I would get it for him.”
He wrote: “Well, going off of comments I have received both online, and in person regarding my wife and I’s decision to make our SON a kitchen playset and several ‘daughter’ comments and ‘but he is a boy’, let me be perfectly blunt.
“Fuck you.”
He continued: “Anytime we go to our local science center, or to the children’s museum, [our son] always wants to play in the kitchen playset area. He always wants to watch us cook and likes being involved, so we thought this would be a good idea.
“Furthermore, if my kid wanted a Barbie doll I would get it for him. If that is what he wants, then that is what he wants.
“It’s his decision what he wants to play with. Not mine.”
