People are slamming this dad for his actions
It all started when one Reddit user shared a picture of what they thought was a sweet moment as a father cradled his sleeping daughter’s head on a flight.
The account, therra123, posted the snap with the caption, “This man kept his hand in this position for 45 minutes so his daughter could sleep well.”
It seemed to work as the little one was sound asleep as her father held his arm in what must have become an uncomfortable position after that length of time.
While on the outside it looked like an adorable moment for the two of them, some Redditors weren’t too happy with the mystery man’s actions.
“Seriously. Roll up a hoodie jacket and bam! Insta-pillow. Or here’s a crazy thought: ask a flight attendant for a blanket and pillow,” commented one individual.
A second added, “I’ll give my 9-month-old daughter that treatment, but when she’s 10 or 12 or 15, she’s gonna have to use some problem-solving skills and get a pillow.
“I’m raising my daughter to be a woman, not a hopeless damsel in distress,” someone else concluded, seemingly annoyed with the situation.
A third wrote, “Wholesome?…or raising a spoiled child that uses a parent as a pillow instead of figuring out how to sleep uncomfortably like the rest of us.”
Despite all the negative comments, there were some people in the chaos who stood up for the mystery dad in the photograph.
“When my son falls asleep with his face in my hand I literally melt inside and could just stare at him for hours. Granted, he’s a toddler but still, I don’t think that feeling will ever fade,” wrote one.
Another proud pet parent added, “I’ve done that for my dog.”
