Rude boy Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So I was with my daughter, who is a year old. I got some DVDs of kids movies to watch when I have her. One I've got is Brother Bear. I am a fan of Joaquin Phoenix, so I put it in. At first, I felt for the main character, getting screwed over, being mad and playing along then at the end he loves the little bear he's with and stays with him. I cried. I haven't cried like that for awhile. In a strange way, it summed up how I feel about fatherhood. It was strange to me. I'm not a really emotional type guy. I keep a lot more inside than I should. I'm a grown man and I was crying over a cartoon. I feel a little silly about it. Has that happened to anyone else? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I'm really trying. I feel embarrassed about crying, even if I shouldn't be. I mean, she won't remember it. I love her so much it actually hurts a little. It's weird. I don't know what happened to me, but I kind of like it:love: Link to post Share on other sites

Haydn Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Perfectly acceptable behavior. I often howl uncontrollably when I watch movie's with the kids. Nothing unmanly about hogging the Kleenex when all appears lost for Anna and Elsa's true loves kiss revives her. Link to post Share on other sites
