I have a few dad friends on my FB who post pics of them doing their daughter's hair and it's always so cute. I am going to start following his blog, too. Him doing his daughter's hair should be no big deal and it sucks that he got so many negative comments.</p> <p>The picture actually made me feel a little sad that I didn't get to experience this with my dad, but excited for LO. It is one of the sweetest things to watch my husband do our daughter's hair. He does a pretty great job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324835 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:07:21 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1324835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love this!</p> <p>Amen to this statement "It’s just that the dumbest ones are usually the loudest ones."....so sad but so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324768 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:50:22 +0000 LovelyPlum 1324768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you have?!

It was eye opening though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324710 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:33:32 +0000 indi 1324710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved this pic (and his attitude). Hopefully one day it will be NBD and more men will see being a dad as a cool, expected, no-pat-on-the-back deal. Props to him. :-)</p> <p>And it made me so excited for LO to get here, as DH has been asking my sister to teach him to french braid so he can do our LO's hair later. *melt* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324704 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:31:17 +0000 mediagirl 1324704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: probably the same reason the Cheerios commercial was a problem. It's a head scratcher for me, too. I LOVE seeing Dads A. wearing their babies and B. doing little girls hair!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324681 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:22:29 +0000 hilsy85 1324681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Polish: ugh that's awful--sorry you have to experience that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324649 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:14:41 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1324649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: the race issue comes up more than I ever knew before lo was born. When I'm out alone with lo I get negative comments and I never expected it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324603 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 10:08:41 +0000 Anagram 1324603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great article. I like his blog in general the few times I've perused. Very sad that a lot of the negative comments are racist, but the negative comments that questioned his reasons for blogging at all (the comments about posting pictures to "get rich", or for him "being fake" etc) are par for the course for parent bloggers. </p> <p>There's not a major parent blogger out there that doesn't deal with a TON of hatred on those dumb snark sites, so it's not just because he's a dad. They all get it. (sadly). Of course, it's generally couched in a fake concern "for the children", but it's really just an excuse to be anonymously nasty, spurred on by a lot of herd mentality, who-can-be-most-negative internet circle jerks.</p> <p>I'm glad he's ignoring the negativity and continuing to model involved daddyhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324543 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:54:59 +0000 mrbee 1324543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great post! I have learned to be careful about what I post about, as I've gotten some similar comments in the past. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324465 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:31:38 +0000 hilsy85 1324465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: oh gotcha lol, I thought you maybe just saw the pic and didn't read the commentary underneath :) Sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324442 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:22:54 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1324442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: @loveisstrange: oh, and the comments about him being a drug dealing thug and a deadbeat dad were just racist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324438 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 09:22:11 +0000 loveisstrange 1324438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: yeah, I got that. I was just expressing my absolute frustration that something this simple an innocent is a race issue. Fucking ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324397 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:58:46 +0000 hilsy85 1324397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The comments that he received are effing insane. People like that make me so sad. </p> <p>@loveisstrange: basically it turned into a race issue--in large part because his kids are biracial--no idea why that is at all relevant to the photo, but some people just can't help themselves in making racist comments I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324380 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:49:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1324380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really, truly don't understand why this an issue.... It's a dad doing his daughters hair. Why is this a controversy?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324352 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:19:19 +0000 Dandelion 1324352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I can't believe the comments he got! Good for him for addressing it so publicly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324331 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 08:00:24 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1324331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324307 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 07:35:27 +0000 edelweiss 1324307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>very interesting--thanks for sharing. some of the negative comments he received made my mouth drop open, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324280 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:57:11 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1324280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's right fatherhood is cool. I LIVE for FB updates from a friend of mine who shares about his #daddyish adventures with his three LOs. </p> <p>I'm not surprised by the comments he received. It's sad I'm not surprised. :sad: </p> <p>Thanks for sharing the article. I'm going to start readingbhis blog now. My dad never did my hair correctly. He'd slap so much grease all over my hair my strands suffocated in their braids. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324276 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:51:41 +0000 mrs. bird 1324276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: mine was the opposite, I loved when my dad did my hair because he was extra gentle! He had long hair for a while, so he was familiar with how uncomfortable getting knots out can be. My mom was much rougher. </p> <p>Loved this! Thank you for sharing! I'm gonna send it to mr. bird. He is also a black man married to a non black woman &amp; he's made many comments about how he looks forward to having daughters so he can do their hair (he would need some lessons first I'm sure, but his eagerness is adorable!). I, too, wish we lived in a world where it wasn't a big deal when people married outside their race &amp; involved daddies were the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324269 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 06:32:03 +0000 Bookish 1324269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I love this article! So much! It hurts my DH's feelings when he gets comments from his family about babywearing, and he's always complaining to me about the 'dad as dumb, useless father' commercials you see on TV. I hate that this blogger has to deal with such negative comments :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324243 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 04:57:24 +0000 Kimberlybee 1324243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved this article!

I can't believe the comments he received! I'm going to follow his blog now.</p> <p>I used to hate when my dad did my hair. He was rough! He said his mom would pop him with the brush when he squirmed while she brushed his hair. I guess I had it easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324097 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 23:17:24 +0000 pinkcupcake 1324097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what a great article! My husband is absolutely amazing with our daughter and this totally made me think of him - our toddler cried so much this morning when she realized he was back to work (he had last week off). </p> <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dad-wants-pic-of-him-brushing-daughters-hair-to-be-nbd#post-1324092 Mon, 06 Jan 2014 23:12:04 +0000 birdofafeather 1324092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loved this article!
