Super Dad save his son from falling from the stairs.
saved the car
There are a lot of dads who would do anything to keep their kids safe..step father/biological...this is for you
IOnlyDrinkOnMonday
Thanks for saying stepfather. I never knew my bio dad and my step father raised since I was 7 and is awesome at being my dad.
Joyrider216
As someone who lives in the military, just about everyone reacts like this.

I would have dropped so many kids.

Still better then drop-kicking them!
greenbean442
I wish I could be a dad :( At least I could maybe be a mom I guess
eyesfullofseeing
I mean what with adoption and everything you could adopt a kid, and then whatever gender you want to be, you can be that parent.

I just became a dad this week. I already feel myself gaining these powers

I'm not ready to be a father because I have not completed my ninja training yet.
MrAskani
When the kid pops out, your ninja skills also manifest. Everything becomes a threat. Everything also becomes cool toys with imagination!
IgnatiusJacquesReilly
As a dad, it's because you are constantly expecting them to do the dumbest shit possible.. and you are usually right.
Dwaynethejockronson
My son fell off a bench backwards. My reflex was to catch his ankle. It was not the correct reflex and his head hit the floor.

If being a dad of two little girls has taught anything, it's that in their eyes I really am the superhero I wished I was as a kid

that's so awesome.

I hope I will become the hero my father never was
RageCuddles
They probably think you're the smartest person in the world too. I used to think my parents knew absolutely everything as a kid!
TheStickyWicket
It's earth-shattering the day you realize "wait I'm their oldest kid... Mother of God, they're making it up as they go!"
writerbecc
my dad was always my hero. still is.
TheStickyWicket
The saddest thing is that I'm starting to see he's not infallible, nor is he ALWAYS right... But he's still my hero and always will be.

Thereisnocureforbeingacunt
As the father of a fully grown adult, I can reveal this ability is activated purely out of fear of what the child's mother would do to us .
TheStickyWicket
As a mother of a 1-year-old... Trust me, we know.
theycallmehiphopapotomus
As a mother this I can see the accuracy of this.
mehtouffe
Mine is usually activated to save them from whatever their mother is letting them do.
phestr
It is physically, emotionally, and spiritually impossible for m to agree with this more.
binksays
As a 24 year old woman my dad is still a superhero to me, do it right and they will always see you that way I promise.
TheFuckIsThisTheFuckWasThat
Same here. 27 year old and my dad is my hero.
TheStickyWicket
My dad has always been my hero. Now that I have my own son, the 2nd best thing is watching them play (1st is son playing w/ my husband).
feeltheice
Your child has a mother!... Lucky, you better lock her up so she dosnt go out for smokes like mine did... 20 years ago...

sometimes. Not one of my sisters though when I was 3 she just sat back and watched me put my finger in the VCR and it got stuck.
ilovefacefuckingtacos
My two older brothers saved my idiot baby/toddler life so much
givemepancakes
I'm 12 years older than my sister. I got way to good at children way too fast. i can catch anyone else falling but i'm clumsy as shit
tangybreath
Although I don't have a penis. This. There's over a decade between me and my little sisters. I've prevented many potential disasters.
CosmicPube
Can confirm. Seven yr difference between my sis and I. I've caught her almost as many times as I've pushed her.
NiceMediumSizedPenis
I'm 21 my youngest brother is 9. I saved him from a regulation size basketball hoop falling on him.
LeftCollectionBlueBird
As the youngest of many, many children, my older siblings were the cause of my injuries.
ohdeepthought
I have to agree with this, although non of us ever broke a bone my brother almost blinded me more than once...
johnnyshitknucklez
and the thing is when you save your siblings your not proud of yourself, your just slightly annoyed at them.

I used to nanny for 4 under 6. I suspect herding cats would have been easier.

Cats can at least take care of themselves for the most part.

20sidedhero
As a father, this only applies when you're not tripping them to keep them from running into the street.
TheMightyElk
Truth!
solsund
Nope! I had a niece try to run into the street and I picked her up and spun her around to kill the momentum she had. Dad reflexs rule
mediaman73
Did this to my oldest to keep him from running into street. Was trying to grab him & he fell on his face on the sidewalk. Blood everywhere.
HeyLookABunny
Hahahahahahah. Good strategy
NoPantsNasty
He us absolutely correct. Or grabbing the hood of their sweatshirt at the last second. Kids are savages and have NO fear
fatramen
my dad tripped me as a joke, ended up dislocating 5 of my fingers, mom was furious lolol had some cool xrays though.
SuckAnElf
I accidentally almost broke my 2 year old's nose trying to stop him from running away from me. I reached out and only managed to grab 1/2
SuckAnElf
the back of his pants, and he swung face down toward the ground. Thankfully it wasn't a hard surface or it could've turned out badly 2/2
breadstickez
My dad did this with my brother, saved his life for sure. Dad ended up falling and blowing out his knee but my brother's still here.
myheartisstarkmyspiritistargaryen
Bet any money your dad brings that up a ton when he can't get into his favorite sexual positions eh...eh!?...I'll see myself out
krenshala
I'm sure your dad considers a blown knee more than worth it to still have your brother. I know I would be willing to lose more for my son.
breadstickez
He's a shit head now, but yeah I'm sure he was. Brother was only like 2 when it happened. Still remember it clearly, despite that I was 6.
commanderspecialA
My mom tripped and broke her arm because she was trying to get my attention so that I wouldn't go in the street.
TheStickyWicket
Did it get your attention?
commanderspecialA
Yes. When I saw her fall I ran toward her. She never lets me live that down.

Once my niece fell head first off of a couch. In mid air I kicked her in the hip and she spun and landed on her butt rather than her face.

My story is a long and complicated one that won't fit in 140 characters.
SaltCollector
Can you imagine if 0.2kg falling from 30cm was enough to take out a baby? Evolution would have stamped us out years ago.
NationalistCanadianMooseWarrior
If it hit its head, it probably could have.
MoonbyulBias
I don't know how mushy a baby can be! This is why I should never parent. Ever.
SaltCollector
Fairly mushy, but that can be a bonus, especially when being squeezed out of another human being. You have to be fairly durable to take that
Flyndaran
I gestated for nearly 10 months. My soft spot was no larger than a quarter.

Where's the material supporting mothers? There's plenty of pregnancy support, and parenting support, but mothers specifically are often 1/?

Get over yourself.
RedroverRedrover
under attack. If you don't work you're lazy. If you work you don't care about your kids. If you're a single mother you're just the worst 2/?
Wibblywobblytime
lets see, father's day compared to mother's day? that's just one. Any commercial with a child there's usually only a mother, rarely both.
AndThatMakesUsMighty
I've been seeing more commercials lately involving dads and it makes me so happy!
Pieisprettynicemateitsagoodfood
On the fathers day bit, damn right son! I find it so unfair so I always try extra hard to get him something super special.
lyricallove
Probably because women were seen as the primary caretaker of children for a long time. Society just has to catch up with the times. :)

Have you looked at Faecesbook lately?! Every second post is Motherhood this, Motherhood that. Everything is womens this or that.
