That’s a bold choice of accessory, but it really completes the ‘Tired Dad’ aesthetic.

My kid loves being carried like that ha

I like the over the shoulder haul. It’s easier on the back and has a 50/50 of turning tears to laughter.

It’s always one arm, kid on the hip…avoids crotch kicks and face shots

This was how I had to carry my daughter sometimes so she couldn’t kick me in the stomach and punch my face at the same time. Very efficient

Can’t even carry your kid across the street without someone taking pictures of you

you can still hold them the funny way, tantrum or not

Aaah, the “screaming toddler football hold”. A classic example surpassed only by getting “wrestled into the car seat”.

Anybody else wondering if maybe the kid just likes to be carried like that?
My oldest used to ask to be carried like that all the time.

At my baby shower, pretty much everyone else already had kids. The kids were all upstairs with the dads holding down the fort while we did baby shower stuff down stairs. It was casual, the guys were welcome to participate, its just how it shook down.
Anyway, about halfway through there is some big, loud disturbance upstairs. Wailing is heard. A moment or so later, one dad comes marching through the living room with a sizable 4 year old carried like this, melting all the way the fuck down. She was like a rabid dog. He was nonplussed to the max. If thats possible. Straight out the front door with no words. The mom just shook her head and went back to the snacks.
It was such an important part of that baby shower. So informative and honest about the future.

If you’re not a parent this probably looks wild
If you are a parent then you relate all too well

Why is this man carrying a giant magnet?

Honestly, this could be a totally normal morning. Potato sacking a toddler is pretty normal. I prefer the over the shoulder carry personally because it’s easier to transition into being silly.

I have an 8 month old that seemingly has quite the temper. I’m a little scared for my future.

Pretty gross to take a picture of a stranger and his child and post it on the internet without their consent.

Ahh the football carry. None of us ever wants to do it, but it has its own sort of satisfaction associated with it.

There was a dad carrying out a little girl that was kicking and screaming at the end of the night from an amusement park. Kid was his because the girl was yelling that she didn’t want to leave. He just shrugs and says “she had a really good time.”

When my nephew was 3years old, my sister and I took him to the local shopping centre.
My nephew was over tired and cranky and was just being a little terror.
He threw himself on the ground and was kicking and flailing his arms around, scream/crying at the top of his lungs and obviously drawing alot of attention from passersby.
My sister was mortified and just wanted him to stop so she was yelling at him to get up off the floor and behave.
Obviously, this didn’t help the situation.
Me, being the idiot I am, decided to throw myself on the floor (same way my nephew did) and imitated his tantrum (screaming/pretend crying- the works).
He stopped his tantrum, stared at me and started laughing.
I asked him if I looked silly and he said yes.
I told him that’s what he looked like.
He never had a full blown tantrum after that day.
My sister also never let me go with her to the shopping centre with her again 😂

the ‘toddler tantrum’ is real lol. been there many times. at some point you just gotta tuck them under your arm like a parcel and head home.

I once hauled my son out of the store over my shoulder, explaining calmly to him that he was giving his mother a hard time and I won’t negotiate with terrorists. Apparently someone overheard and gave me accolades on Facebook or something because it was equal parts funny and correct.

You got a kicker and biter right there, it’s the surfboard carry. Good form with excellent protection from those little knees and chompers. It’s a solid 7.5 out of 10

If anyone here is a new parent, I encourage you to listen to Good Inside with Dr. Becky. It changed my life. It’ll help in situations like this. (I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS FATHER IS GOING THROUGH… THIS IS NOT COMMENTARY ON THIS SPECIFIC SITUATION) “They’re not giving you a hard time, they’re having a hard time”. Re-framing the situation encourages empathy and brings calm to the chaos so much faster.
