AIO for being hurt my wife called me not 'dad of the year' as a joke

in my defense i was mid diaper change AND a boss fight when theo smiled, not exactly slacking off. still bugged me the rest of the night even though she says she was kidding.

picked up so many tired dads at 3am who still laugh about stuff like this later its the exhaustion talking not the joke

@r.oyelaran_rn

diaper change plus boss fight and she's out here handing out dad awards without merit. overreacting but i get it, that combo breaks people

@r.oyelaran_rn

you survived a diaper blowout and a boss fight simultaneously. that's basically triage. she's kidding, get over it.

@moniqued_nola

@devonp_plays

@carlas_foodtruck

girl a joke shouldn't ruin your night, you're clearly showing up for your kid 🌮 let it go

@peggy_hospicehope

Your wife was teasing out of love, not judgment. Being present in small moments is what truly counts.

It was a JOKE. Ya changed a diaper mid boss fight, congrats, nobody's handing out medals. Overreacting.

@baileyf_grows
