Healthy dads cry.
100% but we shield it from our kids so they don’t worry because, to be honest, the meme is unfortunately accurate and their mental health (and joy, more to the point) is my top priority.
Edit: context dependent. I won’t avoid a cry in front of them at my mother’s funeral if I feel the need. My dad passed before their time.
Reminder to de-stigmatize mental health issues also for men.
I cry during sad movies. Fight me about it, bro.
Hug fight!
I cry during happy movies, even. Whenever there’s any type of strong emotions I’m fighting back tears.
Hell yeah.
I cry at EVERYTHING. It’s honestly a little ridiculous. Especially if it is about a dog or if weirdos are nice to each other.
I find myself getting choked up often when there are powerful emotions on display. Sadness, joy, and even things like bravery. Dunno why, but I do. So did my Dad. Maybe it’s genetic.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom cry, except for the one time she dropped a metal hanger in her eye, and at my grandpa’s funeral (though she claims she cries all the time). I’ve seen my dad cry a decent amount. My grandma bottles more than a winery. My grandpa cried on occasion. We’re backwards from the stereotype. It’s weird.
Well shit. Eye didn’t see that one coming. All good now (I hope)?
Is your username a piano keyboard?
I never thought of that. It does look like a piano. If it is, its purely by coincidence.
Yup, her eye is all good, thankfully.
Okay good. I feel less horrible about such a shitty joke.
I’ve told my kid, when we’ve taken him to the hospital, don’t worry about your mother, look at me. If I’m good, you’re good.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Yeah… No. I’d definitely prefer to see my kid cry than bottle my emotions up to lash out later
