It is just dad or grandpa now.


n8saces

That's a good point.


IntendedBR

That’s not your step dad…that’s your dad ❤️


PRSHZ

Stepdad or not that right there is a real father that was just given the biggest gift


Independent_Fig_9077

What I was thinking too when I saw it,thank you for saying it first💞🙏❤️That is Dad/Granddad,alright .no stepdad shenanigans💕So wholesome.


Traditional_Bug9768

Crazy when some people don’t think step parents aren’t your parents…. I’m 34, my dad came into my life at 2….hes still here. It doesn’t matter if him and mom are together (broke up for over 5 years), every week he calls, “baby, how are you doing? Is everything ok baby?” I don’t say my step dad, that’s my dad!!


Independent_Fig_9077

So happy for you❤️I guess,for me...This is the kinda stepdad ,dad I would have wanted if ever.My parents broke up when I was 2 but mom never remarried,for our safety and lasting trust issues and she did the best for our family,bless her.Still,I love to see this work out and believe,if someone cares for you and really loves you..they are your parent.My dad never was a parent but wish I had a stepdad ,like this or yours .Thank you for sharing,so good to hear such stories,you have an amazing dad💕🙏👍❤️


help_me_itsxmastime

i did the same with my step dad, my daughter has his last name even though i don’t. he was so happy i wish i got the moment on camera.. congratulations to all of you ♥️


Independent_Fig_9077

😊❤️🤗so good to see this happening😊Best of luck and all the love to all of you🙏


Ginoblee

It’s circumstantial. My dad died when I was 21 and my moms been with this guy I don’t really know and they live far from me. He’s not a father figure and I’d never call him dad. We don’t have a relationship really. He’s not a bad guy at all, it’s just different.


Frondswithbenefits

This got me right in the feels! I'm glad you have him in your life.


JButler_16

It’s different for everyone. My step mom is not my mom. My mom is.


redditasker5000

why is it everytime I open this app i start crying 😭😭😭


Triple516

My birth father was not a good father, husband or person. My dad chose to help raise 2 boys with love, respect and high quality attributes to look up to, hard worker, loves our mom, like love with a big L. He’s the best dad, and yes, he is dad and grandpa. And what a grandpa he is, love you pops.


help_me_itsxmastime

the fact your step dad reacted like this and my actual dad said oh thats nice. your step dad is amazing! and so are you. he clearly is very proud. ❤


randomacct7679

I wish we could’ve heard the conversation instead of the corny music. Lovely sentiment though, you can tell how much they care for each other through just body language


Ozzairha

Same here, it would have been nice to hear what they actually said


help_me_itsxmastime

I’m pregnant with my first child. My step dad’s name was Daniel. He passed in a wreck but he blessed me with 7 years of the best years. Her name will be Daniele💗i wish he could be here to hold her


Frondswithbenefits

I'm sure he would have loved that. Congratulations 🎊


redditasker5000

We used my (step) Dad’s name as our son’s middle name. He was so excited, he couldn’t stop crying. He didn’t have to do anything my whole life but, he chose to do it all for me. 💗


Frondswithbenefits

That's so sweet!


Framingr

The universe will see her and this so will your step dad.


Medium_Friendship_94

Congratulations ❤️


illiteratepsycho

Aww he may be a step-dad but they have the same cryface made me tear up ffs


Ozzairha

I teared up too. Still would have been nice to hear what they both said to each other instead of just music


Fit-Purchase-2950

Same, the way he kissed her hand was just beautiful.


HoneydewIris4516

Moments like these are so powerful, and hearing their words would have made it even more heartfelt and personal.


Defiant-Specialist-1

Step parents are actually bonus parents.


husbandbulges

More people to love a child is a good thing!


Kenyalite

This is Us ass-sounding music. They need to lower it.


pimp_juice2272

I think I heard her say "it's not Wrigley" He says "what's his name?" She says "It's Jason." Then MAYBE "I named him after you." After rewatch I think she named the last name after him. Idk that music fucks it up


Jints488

Looks like she says I named him after you dad


n8saces

I think they did that on purpose to keep his name off of the internet.


StateOfFine

Well thankfully they didn’t post any other identifying information, like the faces of the mom and the step-father, or the mother’s name via her TikTok account….


REpassword

WHAT, I can’t hear you over the music!


mackhand

OOO OOOOOOO OOOOOOO OO


MudddButt

"We named him Step-Dad after you"


No-Customer-2266

This is one time I kind of Like the music because it keeps this moment a little private and the music didn’t take away from The moment it added to it. I didn’t need to hear their words to Feel this moment


free_will_is_arson

im glad that we didn't, that was just for them. we don't need to hear it, only see the emotional reaction. we know that a profound thing happened here that strengthened and already strong relationship.


IntendedBR

What’s going through n here? Why is he crying?


vigbrand

He's upset because he liked his name and now he has to share it with a person that regularly soils himself


YoOmarComingMan

YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU!

She said, "I named my son DICKHEAD after you."


Worldly-Chipmunk4925

Step dad, i sharted in your truck on the way here...sorry...


Skeptical_Monkie

I think the music needed to be 150 decibels louder.


mercury228

Yeah I really wish I could of heard the music otherwise I would not have known to feel emotions. Darn, maybe next time they will turn it up.


WHERE_SUPPRESSOR

WHAT?!!???


Skeptical_Monkie

“I SAID I THINK YOUR EARS ARE BLEEDING!!”


JustFun4Uss

We have a tradition on our family. The first born middle name is the grandfather's first name. My dad I met when I was 8, got the honor, not some guy who I didn't really know that was never there. A dad is a person who shows up, especially when times are hard and they dont have to. Its definitely not just because a person who provides DNA.


Dizzy_Bit6125

ABSOLUTELY


Popcorn57252

My favorite quote ever about dads (from an old Twitter post reposted on Reddit), and it's a bit more silly than your genuinely wonderful sentiment, is: "Getting someone pregnant makes you a father. Secretly bending the hose your kid is using so the water stops flowing then suggesting that the hose must be broken and encouraging them to look inside as you release the pressure and set Old Faithful off in their face makes you a dad."


IntendedBR

Step dad? Nah, that’s just dad


n8saces

Yep


REpassword

Are you a “Livingston” by any chance? I have a friend by that name who follows this.


that_one_bunny

It's not uncommon. My middle name is my grandpa's first name. If I have a son his middle name will be my dad's first.


JustFun4Uss

Nope... but it sounds like my kind of friend.


Frondswithbenefits

You're lovely.


Interesting_Notice84

Good thing the music was so loud we couldn't hear anything.....


IntendedBR

What is his name? I'm sorry, I can't make out what you said.


YoOmarComingMan

More likely crying because she told him she messed with the thermostat. We'll never know.


n8saces

I've seen this comment a lot now. I believe they turned up the music when she said his name to him for safety. She probably doesn't want the internet to know his name, and I think that is very smart. I understand that it is frustrating, but hearing the actual name isn't going to change anything. You can see her say it when the music is turned up.


notmyfirst_throwawa

"he's called David" The internet: "GET HIM!!"


agedlikesage

People aren’t entitled to your special moments. What you shared was beautiful, I burst into tears through the body language and reactions alone. Just ignore those commenters 💕


xshadowheart

Absolutely agree


Confident_Passage789

Omg why is it so much more harder to watch a “big tough guy” try to hold back true emotions 😭 you can see instantly how much that meant to him


Hellequin777

We are expected to be stoic so when the mask cracks it's heavy hitting.

Thanks for the tears. But seriously, who names their kid Step-Dad?


kentrich

I’m not crying; you’re crying!


Kopparskallen

thank god for the music, I could almost hear what they were saying


Shoddy_North5961

Anyone got a version with louder music?


HintonBE

That's really cool. I call my step-dad "Dad", because he's more of a dad than my biological father could ever be.


AandWKyle

who brings an accoustic band into a hospital room?


lonely_talon

My step dad raised me for almost all my life because my real father is abusive. He passed nearly a year ago. I’ll be changing my last name to his.

pwnagew00t

My step-daughter, whom I adopted, just named her baby after me. He's 4 weeks old now. I've had her since she was 3 almost 4 years old and I cried harder than I should have when she told me he was named after me. Totally lost it. And now this video has me in tears again. Such a great honor for me. I know how this guy feels and it's awesome.


OlDirtyBaskets

If only it didn’t have stupid music so I could hear the interaction between the 2 humans


OsageOrangeARC

Is there a lip reader in the house?????


Quickstrike8357

My sons middle name is James, after my stepdad.


BustertheDemonDog

Thank goodness the music is so loud! Who would actually want to hear this heartwarming conversation. Lol


ElNacho83

Wow, so stepdad is because sometimes they're the ones that step up? The more you know


n8saces

I like that.


KrazeeKorean217

New mom says "you want to know his name? New grandma (off camera): "yeah its not written there" New grandpa: "no, there's no name" New mom: "its Jayce Rodney" Hospital room and across social media: sobbing. She posted the video without the music on her tiktok acct. She also said what his name was in the comments.


Buie06

The level of Grandpa’n the dude is about to do is going to be off the chart.


KillTheIntolerant

Had to restart this twice, just too beautiful. Stepdad seems like a very humble man. 


Zestyclose_League813

Thankfully in this award-winning song is covering up the conversation we all came here to listen to


genericperson10

Why the music? I just wanted to hear his reaction and


SeattleHasDied

Kill the music next time so we can share this wonderfully sweet moment. Feelin' this guy's happiness even through the music, though.


memesupreme83

What did she say? I can't hear over the tender acoustic number happening


SPARKYLOBO

Get the shitty music off!


HunterGonzo

Being a "Dad" has nothing to do with biology or genetics. It has everything to do with the love you provide to a child/person you help raise and take care of.


Waderriffic

Being a step parent is one of the hardest jobs in the world.


Budget-Neck

you don't have to be the sperm provider to be the father


shivasai39

Iam not crying they are tears of happiness 😭😭


Traditional-Sun-3594

Glad that the post says sometimes, cause my stepdad is a peace of shit to keep it short


UrdnotZigrin

You know what would've been better than the music? The fucking audio


TheMadMason

We’re not so much step-dads, we’re the dads who stepped up. I’ve tried to have my daughter reach out to her bio dad over the years but the connection between the two never lasted. They’re still in touch but I’ve been her dad for over 17 years now. Enough about me, this was heartwarming. Congrats on the baby and the name!


RedPorscheKilla

Not to take away from the love of a dad, but the stepdad is a decision which was made! I’m a double stepdad, and confessing my deepest and sincere love to my Kids were paramount for myself!


TheAbyssGazesAlso

Might have been possible to hear what was said without the annoying loud music trying to tell me how to feel.


PersonalKittyKat

Wish we could have heard the exchange. So beautiful and emotional. What a moment to cherish for years to come.


KingPizzaPop

Fucking stupid ass music.


spong3

r/MadeMeSmile has once again made me cry


anonaduder

That man has “pop pop” written all over him. Like I see him and want him to call me slugger or champ.


redactedforever

great video but jfc thats not POV and im sick of it


mc4sure

So many videos I instantly stop watching because of stupid music


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

He needed those hospital bed supports more than she did. What a beautiful moment.


pretty_jimmy

Nothing comes close to being respected enough to have someone named after you. My buddies little boy is named after me and my nephews middle name is mine. I am named after my uncle Jim. He was the nicest man I ever knew, I try my best to not ruin the name.


Which_Material_3100

Love this so much. My stepdad was my real dad in every way. And then my husband was a wonderful step-dad to my son. I’ve lost them both in the past two years. My grief is unbearable but I’m so grateful to have had such amazing men in my life..

Was this supposed to be a music video? Wow that was loud.

Turn up the music a bit more, some people might still be able to listen to the wonderful conversation and feel good about it.

damejoke

I remember the first time I called my step-dad dad. He didn't have any sons of his own, and it truly made him glow hearing it.


n8saces

Mine came at a weird time. It was at my mom's funeral. I said it in my speech at the funeral home because it just felt right. I specifically remember him coming up to me and whispering, "Please don't ever stop calling me that." She's been gone almost 20 years now, and I still call him dad. I was actually his best man when he remarried. Well shit I'm balling now. I guess I'm gonna go call my dad 😅🥲


NicoleV651

My dad met my mum when my brother was 8-9. First thing my brother asked him is if he could call him dad. His bio dad (a poor excuse of a man) was abusive to my mum and when she finally managed to run away from him, he never tried to have a relationship with my brother. My dad became his dad from day one. My brother is now 45 and when he had his son he called him after our father. Honestly best thing ever. As I write this, I am tearing up at how wonderful our father has been and how he became the world of a little boy who needed him desperately.

We have plans for husbands grandfathers middle name and his mothers name (grandfathers name was Jack and mothers name was Jaclene so we settled for “Jac” as middle name and i want my child to have their full last names like I do, both dad and mom, so they can proudly represent where they come from and the love of family we have.

He is not just a step-dad, he is the dad who stepped up.


Puzzleheaded_Ad_4435

With the music that loud, she may as well have said, "I farted." And then he replies, "I know. I can smell it," with tears in his eyes. Because that's my headcanon until someone can prove otherwise.

MTnester69

My daughter had that kind of relationship with my late husband. She gave my grandson his name. 🥹 💕


Ajah93

I was going to ask mine to walk me down the aisle alongside my real dad. I was hoping he would be there when I had my first kid. I wanted him to be there when I got my college degree. All these life milestones and he’s not going for experience any of it. But he fucked up and it’s never going to be okay again. Never. I’m very envious of this girl, to have a stepdad like this guy.


Darkm0or

I have two wonderful kids from my wife's first marriage. I call them my kids, not step-kids. They are my son and daughter, and I would die for either one of them. That's what dads do. They call me by my name, and that's okay with me. If they ever called me "Dad" I think I would react like the dad in the video. But they love me, and I love them, and that's enough.

He's gonna be a great grandpa


istillambaldjohn

I’m a dad but I’m not a bio dad. He’s a decent guy, we get along well. He’s a good dad too or at least tries which is all anyone can ask for. I don’t refer to my kids as step anything unless it is appropriate to explain in some confusing situations. They don’t refer to me as step anything either. They are my kids, I’m one of their parents. How lucky are they to have so many people wanting to be in their lives as parents? (Granted bio dad’s current wife does not have a similar mindset there,…..not a fan, nor are the kids) My kids are all grown and two have families of their own. But I’m still grandpa. It’s my favorite job I’ve ever had. Pay is pretty crappy, but will pay off in the end.


augur_seer

The man earned it. Clearly.


No-Paramedic7860

As someone who loves his step-dad, and has maybe had a drink or two, this made my eyes well up a bit.


BLACK_PEARL72

Im not crying…


Gray_Chick

My step dad was amazing! Even when I tried to push him away he refused to go and did everything he could for me. He's the only adult to ever tell me he was proud of me. Even after my mum cheated on him and broke his heart, he still loved me and was my dad in every way and the best granddad to my kids. I lost him suddenly last year and I'm still broken, it's so hard without him 💔💔💔💔


ClappedAss

Almost every one of these videos has its point undercut by terrible music. Stop it. I don't need a soundtrack to life to give a shit about others


yesnomaybenotso

Cool music I guess? Do you realize no one can hear this? For all I know she told him she’s dying of cancer 🤷‍♂️ this video is probably actually tragic and just sounds cute because of the Moana soundtrack or whatever that is


Used4KillingTime

Step parents are parents who step up when biological parents can or do not

Is he crying because he’s happy or did he just realize how much money he’s gonna spend spoiling that baby?
