RYAN REYNOLDS shares his views on parenthood

[samhexum]

Ryan Reynolds is funny AF on Twitter. He’s so funny that it would be nice if that whole acting thing didn’t work out for him so that he could spend more time tweeting.

 

The reason parents in particular need to know that Reynolds kills on Twitter is because his tweets related to parenting are nothing short of comedic genius. He first became a dad when he and wifey Blake Lively welcomed their daughter James (yes, they named their baby girl James) into the world in 2014. They were again blessed in 2016 with the birth of their second daughter, Ines.

 

Fatherhood opened up a whole other realm of hilarity for Reynolds. His tweets are not to be missed, as you’ll see below, but make sure you aren’t drinking anything because we will not cover the damage to your electronics due to any spit takes.

 

Sometimes we use humor as a coping mechanism, right? Here Reynolds uses it to deal with separation anxiety.

Damn it’s hard letting your infant daughter go somewhere alone for the first time. I was a total mess dropping her off at Burning Man.

He’s an advocate of making a deliberate choice to be a father and he wants his daughters to know they were a choice.

 

@vancityreynolds

The mobile above my daughter’s crib is just a whole bunch of NuvaRings. So she remembers how lucky she is.

 

And Reynolds, like so many of us, is sick of shaming women for public breastfeeding.

 

@vancityreynolds

It’s 2016. I’m not going to start drinking regular milk just because some asshat has a problem with public breastfeeding at the beach.

 

Politics mean so much more when you have kids. Notice that this was posted shortly after the election results of 2016.

I watched Frozen without my two year old this morning. Despair reveals itself in many forms.

 

So many parents expect too much of themselves, but not Reynolds. He knows his limits.

 

@vancityreynolds

I’d walk through fire for my daughter. Well not FIRE, because it’s dangerous. But a super humid room. But not too humid, because my hair.

 

THIS!!! Bwahahaha!

 

@vancityreynolds

Went to Disneyland because my daughter’s obsessed with Mickey Mouse. She was so excited when I got home and told her.

 

As busy as he must be, he still takes time to advise newbie dads like this one, whose wife had just gone into labor.

 

@vancityreynolds

Ask your doctor if you qualify for an extension. A 4th, possibly even 5th trimester can be very peaceful for the father. Congrats.

 

In fact, he makes time to share nuggets of wisdom he’s discovered along the way.

 

@vancityreynolds

Tip: It’s important parents take little “time outs” for themselves too. Even if you feel pretty guilty when you return 14 years later.

 

He does not praise and reward his children for every little thing they do; he’s refreshingly brutal.

 

@vancityreynolds

My daughter’s only 6 months old and already drawing. I’d hang it on the fridge but honestly, it’s absolute garbage.

 

Oh, and he’ll call his child out for bratty, privileged behavior, too.

 

@vancityreynolds

This morning, my daughter said, “quiche” which means she’s smart, hungry and an asshole.

 

And believe it or not, celebrity parents face the same childcare issues we do.

 

@vancityreynolds

Tinder isn’t a babysitting app. Apologies to Crystal and Janine for the misunderstanding.
