Father of the Year, this guy.

    I posted this over on /c/news and honestly, I don’t think it’s that bad. Dude gets a call saying “hey, wanna be my vice president?” and his 7 year old won’t shut up about Pikachu? “Shut the hell up for 30 seconds, daddy is on the most important phone call of his life” is really not that crazy of a thing to say. We don’t have kids (yet) but I feel like every parent has had that moment in their life, no?

      The fact that he was fine sharing this story publicly and didn’t see a problem says a lot about how he treats his kids behind the scenes

        IDK, it’s relatable. It’s probably the most non-weird thing about him I’ve heard this week. Or, like, ever.

        So, you’re a parent? And you have never once had a bad moment like that with your kid? Like never yelled at them in a high stress moment even once?

          Recognizing that it’s a moment of weakness is what’s important, don’t brush it off and pretend it’s perfectly fine. Recognize it as a slip up in a moment of stress.

            Right. I don’t think he’s bragging about this? He’s sharing it because it’s a humanizing moment
