That's kind of what I was thinking. It's amazing how there are certain "milestones," but everything in between can be so random. We had MAJOR problems getting our daughter to eat up until a couple of months ago. On the other hand, my friend's son was tearing up pancakes and stuffing them in his mouth on his own at 9 months.

My daughter is 11 months old and will happily demolish a sunday roast. She ends up wearing about half of it, but the other half ends up going in properly. She has a habit of noticing a new piece of food and dropping the one she's halfway through eating to grab the new one. Meat, Veg, potatoes (mash and roast), Yorkshires, the whole lot. She also eats pizza, chilli, noodles, chicken nuggets, vegetable stew, cheese on toast, pretty much anything. And has done for several months. It's frikking incredible to watch. The most adorable thing though is that she blows on food you give her because she's watched us blow on hot food before giving it to her. Especially funny when she decides the salad bowl needs cooling down though XD

I think that framing this as the country has 'messed up' is unfortunate. People need to learn that people disagree with them and there is nothing wrong with that. Learn where they are coming from and try and find the common ground.
1,211

Hillary doesn't quite fit that description, either.

I can never understand this 'us vs. them' mentality that people have when it comes to politics. It's the wrong way to look at things.

Kinda sad that he's trying to tell her that her country made a wrong choice...

Teach them which side is stupid and wrong when they're young.
1,215

How old is the kid? If she's 14 and politically active for her age, then good for dad. If she's 6 and dad is pushing his political beliefs on his kid, then I fail to see the good in this.

My daughter is far too young (four months) for me to need to explain this to her, but I might steal this when we need it. It helped me feel better, if nothing else.
1,217
daddit
Your daughter didn't win because you didn't win. I guarantee that's the only reason why she would even care.

I like the letter. The same thing written by a trump dupporter would have just as nice a gesture. Having political discussion in daddit sucks tough.
1,219
daddit
This is all very sweet, but maybe we shouldn't instill the same toxic fear of the other side that pervades our current political discourse into our children. Maybe teach them that just because we disagree doesn't mean we should be afraid.
1,220
daddit
What happened to the party of openness and tolerance? How about focusing on differences and positives to understand the other side and realize we all arent that different? Trump won from support in the rust belt. This demographic had been voting democrat for 25 years and felt disenfranchised and neglected by a candidate who supported international trade agreements that made it easier to outsource jobs. They voted for Trump because he was against TPP. I think we can all agree against outsourcing jobs. https://youtu.be/Y3ttxGMQOrY This video pretty much sums it all. Not all Trump supporters are bigots or sexist. Our country has no chance at unity if we raise our kids to be divided and put labels on the other side. Also, i am not a trump supporter

This is an important moment for all of us Dads out there. It's a teaching moment on the largest scale. This is the first president my two young children will ever know. As sad as that makes me, it's my duty to help them process the situation. Trump's presidency has encouraged me to double down on my efforts to teach my children compassion, empathy, and acceptance. This INCLUDES of people who disagree with them. Trump happened because we allowed ourselves to demonize the opposition to the point that we couldn't see common ground anymore. I will do my best to teach my kids to look beyond the disagreement and to the core. To try to understand where people they disagree with are coming from. I'm sick of hearing things like "We will fight them" and "We will wrest control from them". How about "We will understand what drove them so far away, and endeavor to bring them back, or at least make good people more attractive to them" I refuse to believe that 50% of our nation is bigoted cruel assholes. I think that we've just allowed ourselves to become so polarized that we have become blind to the faults of our own side, and tone deaf to the opposition... because all the opposition does is say how terrible we are as human beings anyway. Avoiding this by looking for common ground and building bridges instead of attempting to overwhelm by force... that's the lesson I need to impart to my kids so that this never EVER happens again.

Curious what happened to dad's A-D

What's funny is kids don't fully understand or care about politics. Your daughter only cared because of you. Yesterday she cared about Hillary, today she cared about Hatchimals , tomorrow she will care about the PS4 Pro. She probably wanted Clinton to win because of gender--- like most feminists. All eyes.

Not to argue, but the country didn't "mess up" and it wouldn't have either way. That's democracy.

I like the sentiment, but it's exactly the kind of attitude that led to Trump. "Sometimes a country messes up." That's kind of bullshit. Trump isn't a mistake. No one can predict that. Trump represents a different approach to the same problem. I think that's important to point out.
1,228
daddit
This is the wrong message to send to your child. The country did NOT "mes up". The people of America have spoken. This is the way it works.

He and his daughter probably didn't win since they weren't on the ballot in most states.

Although we disagree on political views, I approve this message!
1,232
daddit
I believe people voted for trump because they are sick of people telling them how to think and that they aren't intelligent enough and have "messed up" "And maybe one day people who are as intelligent as us and know what's best for everyone will win"

daddit
Both candidates sucked. What the DNC did to Bernie pissed a lot of people off. What decided the election was the people voting AGAINST THE ESTABLISHMENT not them voting for the candidate they preferred. Both candidates were disliked, but Trump was assumed to have less ties to Washington and the media, so he won/

Someone did come along, Bernie. Then they stole the election from him and the Hillary supporters were ok with it. Love or hate Trump, but he is far more closely aligned with Bernie than Hillary ever was. If you feel sad bc Hillary lost, you owe it to your children to read [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5bpa7c/breaking_from_the_anon_who_brought_you_the_laura/). Wikileaks came from the FBI and NSA as well, not the Russians. Wake up.

A country "messes up"?? Called democracy and sometime you don't always get what you want. Can we stop sheltering our children from reality, cause someday they are gonna need to not have their bullshit blinders on. This is also why we have people crying and crawling into fetal position on television.
1,240
daddit
The country didn't "mess up". The democracy voted and chose to not elect Hillary. If you have raised your child in such a way that they require a note like this over the election process, you may have messed up. :(

I think it's always sweet to see a father comforting his child. I wish I knew how old she was though. It kind of bothers me though to imagine a small child feeling stressed/frightened and waiting up late for election results. I don't think it's our job to transfer our fears of o children! We are the adults! I think we should be realistic but, I just feel like it can be taken too far. All in all, it's his child and his wishes. But that's my personal take.

Honestly I take some issue with this sentiment no matter how last night went. You've framed the discussion that the will of the American people as displayed by our votes is wrong. That's not the answer that should be taught to people. It may be someone whose views you disagree with but it's the person that was chosen by your fellow citizens to lead the country. And for what is known today the election held yesterday was lawful and in keeping with the spirit of the US Constitution. The lesson out of this should be that you win some, you lose some and there's always room for compromise. In democracies (generally) it's majority rule with minority rights. If this is being explained to a young kid this might be the right way to go about it but I still think political discussion at any level shouldn't be a matter of right and wrong it should be framed against the backdrop of the Democratic process working through a peaceful transition of power. Something that through most of human history was somewhere between an impossibility and a fevered dream.

Can people stop with the, "country messed up" bullshit line? I mean, people voted for him. That's a decision someone made. Just because you didn't win doesn't mean the country messed up. It means democracy took place and you don't agree with the out come. I thinks it's pathetic that parents can't explain that.

Yeah this morning kinda sucked with my oldest son and my daughter. She was the worst though, because about a month ago I got the question about why does Donald Trump like going into ladies locker rooms, then recently the boys in her third grade have started with the whole yelling "grab her by the pussy!" and chasing the girls. It's a hard lesson that most people are terrible and sometimes terrible people get rewarded, but don't let the world change who you are

This isn't going to be popular here but the country didn't mess up with who they elected. Other than that good job explaining to your kid.
