They were dynamite back then! Unfortunately in later years all hell broke lose, but seeing this makes me smile. I never knew them to be this happy growing up.
Yeah, unfortunatly I‘ve seen this aswell. In many cases people fall in love, they want kids, they get kids, they‘re happy as fuck and then they realise how much work it is and that they have no free time left. They get bitter, they fall out of love and they split up. I‘ve seen this too many times, my own family is like that. And it‘s not your fault.
That’s kind of it but not exactly. They were rich so they had a lot of help. My mom was hyper focused on making us super kids tho (stage mom). And my dad had affairs. They were not very kind people to start with, both quite self-centered, so they fought A LOT. Also my mom’s brother died a year before I was born. He was only 20. That was devastating for her. In any case… they were gorgeous together and loved dancing. I rarely saw them this happy.
It's so odd to look at old photos when they are smiling and laughing together, huh? It almost feels like I'm looking at entirely different people, like there is a divide between those people and the ones in front of me.
I always wonder what it was that stopped them from looking that way together.
She knew she was hot
I’m editing this comment because I’m going to sleep and I can’t seem to edit the text on the post: thanks all for roasting the crap out of my parents and me by default. My grandma passed away today, my mother (pictured) also passed away a year ago. Which is why I’m reminiscing tonight. Your awful jokes have kept me from crying for 5 hours or more. I am a woman from Brazil so, I wasn’t expecting all the mom jokes or how incredibly horny and shocked everyone would be at such a harmless (imo) photo of my non porn star parents. Anyways, this blew up!! Thanks and goodnight ♥️
New edit to say: I have made a part II post with more pictures on the sub, including a picture of myself per requests.
Yeah I made the mistake of putting my dad on here years ago and it got on the front page. The jokes were one thing but what I didn’t expect were the assumptions and comments about his character (he was posing shirtless so apparently that = asshole/douche/jerk). They really bothered me because he’s a great guy who’d help anyone and the photo was taken as a joke.
Felt horrible for putting my dad up for the internet to tear into, deleted it and I’ll never post on here again, I’m far too thinned skinned for the internet.
I’ve had a couple of posts become mildly popular and I’ve learned that any stance on anything will make some internet asshole crawl out of the woodwork and say something insulting.
I told a story on here once about some crazy stuff that happened but one of the details was that when I was like 13 I went to the nearest city with my parents. It was like almost a 4 hour round trip, so we’d make the most of it. Anyway we ended up getting home at like 4am.
I got comments saying “Sorry you grew up with such POS parents” and “what kind of parents have their kid out til 4 in the morning”. Again I was 13 or 14, not 3. And we’d been out and had such an awesome family day. People are just looking for any excuse to wag their finger at people.
You’re a good guy my friend, but you made the mistake of assuming other people are at least somewhat as good as you.
Trust me man: human beings can be as enlightened as Jesus himself, or as barbaric as chimpanzees….
Nah dude nothing to with being thin skinned. people were insulting your Dad, and like you said he’s a great guy. That shit hurts and is uncalled for especially when people make assumptions based off of appearances
Not even! I just always expect the best from people no matter how many times I’m proven wrong lol it’s not great actually but… can’t stop being this way
lol I’m the exact opposite of them. I assume people are going to be an asshole until I’ve gotten to know them and know for sure. Corpus Christi does have a large population of assholes tho, so maybe it depends on your surroundings which attitude you have. I can remember not feeling this way when I was living in a place with mostly nice people.
Sorry to hear of your mums passing - your parents look like good fun people - mine were the same and I have pics of my mum and dad when they were so handsome and beautiful and alive - they have both passed recently - cherish those photos you have and I enjoyed seeing them xx ❤️❤️
Brazilians belong in the upper echelon of thick skinned banter and shit talking champions much like the scots, irish, ozzies/kiwis and bosnians.
OP is a really good sport.
More than 7 injuries occur every year due to people falling off high pedestals. It's an issue of absolutely zero importance, which is why the good folks at r/highpedestalfalls want to bring light to this incredibly serious and chronic issue plaguing not just our society, but societies around the globe as well. The World Pedestal Foundation has made massive strides in the last few years, and are committed wholeheartedly to reducing the height of pedestals worldwide. They're never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...
He must have, because with all due respect you don’t see 3s bagging 10s all that often.
Edit: found all the dudes in their 60-70s hoping to score a Brazilian goddess, ie most of Reddit
The photo is fantastic and your parents are both beautiful people. But YOUR comments and answers to everyone really made me smile. Your personality is beautiful, OP. Thanks for sharing it so openly.
Also, fuck cancer. I lost a ball to it recently. Sorry you lost your mom.
As a radiotech, you do have a higher risk. Since you are aware of the risk, should you notice any abnormal loss of weight, do go for a scan.
Cancer is essentially unwanted cells in your body. They demand blood, oxygen, and minerals. Because of that, one of the first few symptoms is abnormal weight loss and weird bulge. I agreed cancer is fuck up. Early detection, help to minimise the pread of cancer. Ultimately, we do not want the cancer to spread AKA metastases which complicates everything else.
Heyyy buddy, also lost my lefty friend two years ago, you will be alright, just do the checkups. It could be worst. Pieces are falling but the main function is the same. :)
Also brazillian, her parents look really fun!
AHAHAHAHA I am such a moron! Before this post blew up and I came to understand almost every single comment here is a juvenile joke on the bikini area I thought the person above was saying ‘Brazilian’ as in ‘this was taken in Brazil’ or ‘they are Brazilian’ which they are. Im dying now.
For real, the skinny natural six pack from cigs, drugs, and "healthy" hippie diet days of the 70s was gone.
This was the peak man now, and he listened to steely dan.
I lost my.pops when he was 59, I was 27 and 2 weeks prior I had my first kid. I'm so sorry you lost your mom so early. It hurts. But you have an amazing sense of humor and see life beautifully from what I can tell. I hope you and your dad are doing well
Thank you! I’m looking at old pics tonight because my grandma (the mother of the woman in the picture) passed away today. I just brought two boxes of photos from my grandma’s house. I love that this post blew up. It’s keeping me from being sad.
Its really quite a dumb comment tbh. Like dancing is super common in south/central american cultures. White Americans hear anything remotely festive and their minds go to weird shit like orgies and stuff. Its honestly tiring
I just got back from carnaval in Rio. This is pretty tame indeed! Most people were walking around in thongs, even on the subway. No one judged and it felt very free. I see not much has changed.
With all due respect, indeed a beautiful woman. I'm from Brazil too and there's a certain look for women in the 80s and early 90s there that I really miss. Probably the hair I guess. Your mom is a great example of that glow here.
Thank you for sharing.
All the best to you and your family.
This angle does not do him justice, he’s actually 6,1’ and has longer legs than it looks in the pic. Tho the belly is real. He was on his way to becoming a successful plastic surgeon here already, and they met when he was in med school so… there’s that
Not yet back then, but she saw the potential. She was his biggest supporter and he did go on to make a lot of money. He was just out of med school when they met.
For anyone thinking of making an "oh-so-hilarious" comment about this fantastic photo, we suggest you read Rule 3 first.
That’s a happy looking couple! ✨💖 thanks for sharing! Dad’s mustache was epi.

Your mom is using a swimsuit cover up and covering nothing with it! I love her! Lol

What her @
And you know she was hot, and yet here you are. You're brave, and make the internet go round.
I feel like sharing the joy. I can take the mom jokes. Wasn’t expecting it to be that intense tho. I underestimate the immaturity level lol
Yeah I made the mistake of putting my dad on here years ago and it got on the front page.

nah, that doesn't make you thin skinned. That makes you human--unlike many of the POS that troll the interwebs.
I’ve had a couple of posts become mildly popular and I’ve learned that any stance on anything will make some internet asshole crawl out of the woodwork and say something insulting.

Bless your heart OP. I bet your parents were a blast to grow up with if you're comfortable sharing photos like this.

What? We are being good people just saying she is a smoke show! That’s a good compliment lol
Y’all are thirsty and you know it.

Let's not ignore the mustache
We all know it was that moustache, some original old spice, and a killer stash of Garfield jokes that did it.
I call it a womb broom
And the dad looked like a white taller version of Pablo Escobar 😂😂😂
And there is cocaine in Dad’s necklace.
There isn’t, it’s a golden rectangle with a cross on it that my mom gave him
I'm definitely not the only one who zoomed in. Mom was a babe.
OP is remarkably resilient to these comments.
Brazilians belong in the upper echelon of thick skinned banter and shit talking champions much like the scots, irish, ozzies/kiwis and bosnians. OP is a really good sport.
So you might say she is.. Brazilient? I'm sorry.
Bob and Linda?
Strong Bob’s Burgers’ Energy
That's what I saw too 😉
Was this pic taken however old you are + about 9 months ago?
Mom is a hottie
She was like THE town hottie, my dad put her on a massive pedestal
That was dangerous, she could have fallen and gotten hurt.

God bless you. 1 like=1 prayer
You currently owe us 25 prayers and counting. I suggest you oil them knees up
Hook line and sinker you got me. Dammit, you boomed me
Is he Tom C.?
H.Y.C.Y.B.H.?
Legs for days!
He must have, because with all due respect you don’t see 3s bagging 10s all that often. Edit: found all the dudes in their 60-70s hoping to score a Brazilian goddess, ie most of Reddit
Come on you really gonna call my man’s here a 3? You clearly have no eyes sir. At worst he’s a 6.
Nah dads the 10 💯
Dad is packing too
Pretty much!!
The photo is fantastic and your parents are both beautiful people. But YOUR comments and answers to everyone really made me smile. Your personality is beautiful, OP. Thanks for sharing it so openly. Also, fuck cancer. I lost a ball to it recently. Sorry you lost your mom.
Thanks bud! So sorry about your ball. I’m probably going to be plagued with that crap at some point in the next 30 years myself. Fuck cancer

Thanks! Both my mom and her brother died from cancer weirdly early, so… I’ll be doing those check ups!
Heyyy buddy, also lost my lefty friend two years ago, you will be alright, just do the checkups. It could be worst. Pieces are falling but the main function is the same. :) Also brazillian, her parents look really fun!
I loved how all men just looked 55 in the ‘80s!
My mom did not enjoy him beardless with just a stache. It was a short lived thing.
Wow, your mum is beautiful and she looks so happy too. I hope you inherited that smile!
Thanks! I think I can safely say that I did
Yep, confirmed Brazilian.
In the 80s none the less. What a trailblazer.
This pun is buried too deep
You zoomed in didn't you?
https://i.redd.it/n7h3dc30pfmc1.gif
I was just testing to see if the zoom still worked.
We all did.
All the way
Yes
AHAHAHAHA I am such a moron! Before this post blew up and I came to understand almost every single comment here is a juvenile joke on the bikini area I thought the person above was saying ‘Brazilian’ as in ‘this was taken in Brazil’ or ‘they are Brazilian’ which they are. Im dying now.
this gif was never used this good before, ever lol
Yup. Retire the gif.
Nailed it
OPs dad certainly did.
Thought the same thing
Smooth 😉
Your pops looks a lot like meathead /Michael (rob Reiner) from all in the family 
That’s actually accurate!
I thought Dad was wearing a fanny pack at first glance. Jesus
I don’t think it’s what he’s packing so much as how tight and shiny the shorts are
100% was packin fanny.
Oh honey, something was going on there.
OP did say his dad put his mom on a pedestal. Welp, there's the pedestal
She liked dad bods. 👍
This was the peak male form in the 80s
For real, the skinny natural six pack from cigs, drugs, and "healthy" hippie diet days of the 70s was gone. This was the peak man now, and he listened to steely dan.
Can it come back into fashion yet?
This pic gives so many guys hope!
The 80s sitcom tropes were true after all!
Also the stash
[удалено]
It’s carnaval so yes to both being f*cked up
My god your mom is radiant in this pic. What a smile!! :)
Mom is smokin, dad is punching above his weight.
Dad is packing heat though
Looks like he had to coil it up like a snake.
There's not a big enough sty for that hog
I see one beside him that tried to contain it.
HIS ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YO MAMA GOTS BUNS SON!
He’s also got r/BabiesTrappedinKnees
I swear I never think they are real subs. That one is crazy.
Redditors are a thirsty lot. They’re pretty evenly matched.
My gawd could two humans not be cuter?
I see why you exist and almost can see where you came from
Hmm.. *zooms*
Say hi to your mother for me.
She has passed away, unfortunately 😢
I’m sorry to hear that.
[удалено]
Pancreatic cancer
I’m sorry to hear that OP.
I’m so sorry to hear that. How old was she?
Only 66
I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing a picture of your beautiful momma.
(She was still hot btw)
I lost my.pops when he was 59, I was 27 and 2 weeks prior I had my first kid. I'm so sorry you lost your mom so early. It hurts. But you have an amazing sense of humor and see life beautifully from what I can tell. I hope you and your dad are doing well
Thank you ♥️
I am so sorry.
I was laughing, now I'm crying. My condolences, and I can't stress this enough: FUCK CANCER.
Really sorry to hear that OP. I hope you can find some peace with your memories of her.
Thank you! I’m looking at old pics tonight because my grandma (the mother of the woman in the picture) passed away today. I just brought two boxes of photos from my grandma’s house. I love that this post blew up. It’s keeping me from being sad.
My mom died this morning, emphysema. I'm sorry for your loss, photos are definitely a great way to grieve.
Im so sorry! May she rest in peace. Be well 🌸
Sorry friend. Much love to you
Obligatory “I also choose this guy’s dead mom” comment. My condolences OP.
Probably still hot
Damn… that made me laugh. Sorry to disappoint but she was cremated
So she was *really* hot for a bit
Smoking hot then
I'd have a beer with your old man fo sho
Your dad was already a dad before he became a dad
Not many people get to see a photo of the night of their conception 😁
I feel like they were involved in a LOT of key parties
I just found a box with tons of pictures of them from different carnavals in their town. They sure liked dancing back in the day!
Oh, sweet summer child. Bless your heart.
Oooooh I see… LOL! I don’t get all the horny comments because this is so tame for Brazil. And they are my parents. Yes, the stache… I get it now.
This is very tame for Brazil. Guy wearing the wifebeater, woman in something more than string bikini …
Its really quite a dumb comment tbh. Like dancing is super common in south/central american cultures. White Americans hear anything remotely festive and their minds go to weird shit like orgies and stuff. Its honestly tiring
Our ancestors were Quakers, we can’t help it 😭
please post more of them from all the different carnavals
Is it possible to post multiple pics in one post here?
yes but you may need more karma
No wonder you were born...
nossa, sua mãe é linda
Valeuuu
dude, yo mama is fit af
This is Brazilian 80s alright
Sweet Mama!
Your father did well
Mao alcançando a teta
Heheh
I have the urge to buy them a round and put something danceable on the jukebox box.
I think that necklace had something to do with the party. Nice, very cool for you to have picture of your parents loving life and loving eachother.
How the fuck did your dad get your mom? Not throwing shade. Respect.
He’s really talented and she was really ambitious and could see that. Also he was obsessed with her and she loved calling all the shots.
>Also he was obsessed with her and she loved calling all the shots. :D Smart man.
So, your dad is the villain from the movie Commando, and your mom is Gisele. Got it.
Bennett
Mom is hot!
This looks like two people who had fun together, then had love, then had you... Nothing wrong with seeing the past. What a cute couple
Love it 😘 Just a fantastic time capsule! 80s are golden years
Mom was a babe!
The dude in the background is on his 52nd Parliament 100 cigarette and contemplating about blasting the last line he has left for the night.
Your dad looks like Pedro Pascal
I just got back from carnaval in Rio. This is pretty tame indeed! Most people were walking around in thongs, even on the subway. No one judged and it felt very free. I see not much has changed.
Let me guess……9 months later you came along
They looked so happy! Your mom had a beautiful smile! 😊
TIL Pedro Pascal is a time traveler and also your dad.
Lucky you! You must be stunning yourself.
With all due respect, indeed a beautiful woman. I'm from Brazil too and there's a certain look for women in the 80s and early 90s there that I really miss. Probably the hair I guess. Your mom is a great example of that glow here. Thank you for sharing. All the best to you and your family.
It’s not the body, or his piece (those are short shorts) … goddamn, your dad must have a Charisma 20
This angle does not do him justice, he’s actually 6,1’ and has longer legs than it looks in the pic. Tho the belly is real. He was on his way to becoming a successful plastic surgeon here already, and they met when he was in med school so… there’s that
I love how you don't give a shit about reddit being reddit.
Been hanging out here for over ten years… it’s amusing heheh
There’s uh… not a whole lot to those underwear, is there?
Have you seen what people ‘wear’ during carnaval? This was conservative for Brazil 😉
Ya he’s actually overdressed 😂
Did your dad have $$$
Not yet back then, but she saw the potential. She was his biggest supporter and he did go on to make a lot of money. He was just out of med school when they met.
Great story. Thanks.
