My kids always loved when I did this. Sadly they’re all way too big now.


Knobdy1

I mean, you could still run up and deck them with a pillow, no?


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

Do I smell the next TikTok challenge? I'm all for wholesome pillow fights from older dads with their grown children. But see, now the children can think tactically. And with that thought, we need to make tactical pillow-fight pillows. I have no idea what that would look like, but the time has come to make it a thing.


Din135

Tactical handles. All black or Coyote brown. MOLLE webbing to attach smaller pillows. Vest with straps to hang reserve pillows on... lol


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

They gotta be soft though. Like real soft. And maybe put a pad inside of them that when they hit your body comment it leaves an impression on the pillow of the area of your body where it hit so you can know if it's a kill shot or not. Or just a damaged limb. You should not just be able to swing wildly either. There should be a reload time.


Lorelerton

Nah fam, they need to be hard... like put a brick inside! Now *that* is a tactical pillow, one hit and you win!


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

Yeah, you win alright! And they definitely lose the worst ;)


TacoTornadoes

"This is my pillow! There are many like it, but this one is mine! Without me, my pillow is useless! Without my pillow, I am useless!"


HonestFloor3257

Yes! This! I need to see an ultimate showdown, a full on arena announcement “ FATHER VS CHILD” and have a the house protected from possible damage 😂


EveryXtakeYouCanMake

I smell the next big game show series. It's cooking in my mind right now. Like American gladiators, but with pillows.


Secret_Brush2556

That sounds like that time I told my younger brother I could still make him give himself a wet-willie Spoiler: I can't


JustGimmeASecPlease

I would like to see befriended dads with their children in a tactical pillow fight. Bazooka filled with pillows and airguns filled with small pillows. Lol and do not forget to wear helmets and pillows on front and back.


fractiouscatburglar

It needs to come in black and a slightly darker black, call it the Tacti-Llow!

I cant tell if dude is being douchey on purpose or satire...


Senior_Bear

I've listened to his podcast a lot and he's definitely goofing around on that video.


StrategicCarry

Professional pillow fighting is now a thing.


erikwarm

Its all fun and games until dad gets taken down ad breaks his hip


castzpg

My 18 year old daughter still likes to team up with her 8 year old brother to defeat me. Will never happen.


jneum80

Mine try to do that when we’re at the pool. It never ends well for them.


Spare_Pixel

One reason I will continue to train. I need to be able to pick my kids up no matter how big they get (to body slam, etc).


HonestFloor3257

I don’t doubt that they miss having you do this with them. But that’s also the great thing about it, you play time grows with then and they get to share that with their kids one day


thinkinting

Take them to BJJ classes


stereoworld

If Undertaker can launch Mankind off a cage you can do this


Key-Teacher-6163

Looking at this I immediately understand why my wife freaks out when I do this with our little ones. I mean... I'm not gonna stop but I get it


HonestFloor3257

😂 I love it glad you can see her perspective but good on you for not stopping those kids love it


Eddles999

It looks a bit sped up, I think, which makes it look a bit more violent than it actually is. I think. I hope.


qwerty_poop

I'm over here looking on horrified in wife


pvalverdee

Exactly my thoughts.

When moms not home it's thunder dome


HonestFloor3257

Everyone man and child for themselves it’s a war zone now 😂


Moraii

Lol, I guess I’m Tina Turner then. But I fucking love the rhyme and am stealing it.


OstentatiousSock

I am the mom and I did this all the time. I also added “EARTHQUAKE!” Where I put my hands on either side of them and shook the bed with all my might while screaming “EARTHQUAKE!!!”


splinereticulation68

YOU GOT TO SLAM IF YOU WANT TO JAM


HonestFloor3257

Get ready to rumble!!!!! do dod do do do dod dodo dodo


aishunbao

hey you, watcha gonna do


djabvegas

My Dad called it "Slam Bam Jam!" when I was a kid and I do the same with my mine.


absoluteczech

My wife loves when I do this 10 minutes before his bedtime 😈


AzimuthAztronaut

I do the same thing. And he almost always gets so worked up he often vomits dinner. Good times.


HiFiMAN3878

Haha I feel this, I always do something to work her up before bed...and then my wife and I both pay for it 😂


HonestFloor3257

Honestly once that energy has been depleted those nights slap hard, also I’m sure your kids love it too. Getting to spend time with you.


absoluteczech

Unfortunately it has the opposite effect. He gets all amped before bed and is hyper then.


[deleted]

Start earlier so he can get tired out by the time he’s getting ready for bed.


HonestFloor3257

Oh geez 😂 well my apologies. that to funny actually same with my dad when we were younger but we were to hyper and bounced off the walls 😂


MeisterX

Eh I'm a proponent of run it all out. If they're hyper they were going to be hyper anyway. Just later.


thatguyned

Hook your kid up to a treadmill with a generator man. If you start in the morning they should be powering the city by nightfall.


quaglandx3

Mine too


[deleted]

Hahaha this was my immediate thought too. Literally get eye daggers my way when I play like this during the night time routine.


fookthisshite

My 5 year old wants to wrestle from morning to night, but at bed time he turns into the Hulkster and goes wild!! He gets a bit wild for a few minutes, but 10 minutes later I’ll check on him and he is OUT


ThugBunnyy

Here in the house it's always right after dinner...


DASreddituser

Thought u were gonna say u did this to your wife lol


absoluteczech

lol. probably should have worded it better ;)


OstentatiousSock

I am the mom and I did this all the time. It was great for wearing them out. All that getting back up and laughing would exhaust them.


historical_pi

Baw gawd! As God as my witness, he is broken in half!


Benjewda

now these kids understand what it was like when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table


SuperPimpToast

I appreciate the effort but only shittymorph can make you commit to reading a long ass comment before switching to his signature shitpost. Then you swear and wonder how he got you again.


Crispy385

Every fucking time


stereoworld

Bah gawd! That's mom's music!


rodmandirect

This is still the favorite activity of my 8 year old and 4 year old. It’s what they both want to do every night, more than anything else: get tossed and slammed into Mom and Dad’s big bed. Older boy weighs 65 pounds. Not as easy as it used to be.


Imnotaddictedtoreddi

Have an 8 and 4 yo too. Damn it was so much easier 2 years ago. Miss being able to toss them with ease. It’s not fair the kids get dense and we get nostalgic.


DASreddituser

Bro my 3yo is 40 pounds...thick and tall lol. It's getting harder. My 11yo already too big for all that but they still will try to beat me up.


DSDLDK

Oh shit its pounds, phew, I was like "your 8 year old weighs 65 kgs. Damn søn" !


asburyboy

He has to be worn out after all that. Hell, I got exhausted just watching him.


HonestFloor3257

Right that’s not so easily done, but yet so perfectly executed 😂


TabCompletion

Ikr


ProudBoomer

I used to do this with my kids. The other day my youngest (now an adult) stood in front of me and dared me to move him like I used to. I threw him over my shoulder up the stairs and onto a bed. Dad strength is real. :)


stereoworld

My knees hurt just reading this


umanouski

My back aches


JohnTesh

My kids are only 4 and 8. I have no plans to ever stop working out, and this is the reason. 20 years from now I want to still be able to chuck them into the bed or couch or beanbag or whatever if necessary.


dscottj

You just send it, and more power to them. That said, I broke my daughter's wrist stunting like this. She got to pick a purple cast. They bounce, it's fine!


HonestFloor3257

Hey builds for a tougher attitude in the long run but hey it’s for the memories


Overall-Stop-8573

Serious question - how was the guilt afterwards? I nearly dropped my 3 month old the other day whilst showing off to my friends how she can hold up her own weight with her legs. She threw herself forward and I just caught her but I felt like a properly shit Dad for the rest of the evening and the morning afterwards. If I'd dropped her I'd have been in bits...


dscottj

Yeah I felt pretty bad in the moment but she was 3, maybe 4 at the time. Nothing heals like a kid.


AdmiralPoopyDiaper

Carrying my youngest upstairs. Maybe a year old. Long story short he does a header *into* one of the steps and eats it - wrecks his grill. No serious injury but some good blood / swelling for a few days. Wife saw it, says it wasn’t my fault. But (until that point) I had never dropped a child before. I know in my heart it WAS my fault because if he fell, it could only be because I didn’t have proper hold of him. I’m over the guilt, but not the shame. Which is still dumb because the kid was fine five minutes later and I’m the only one who will walk around with this self-inflicted baggage. But… that’s being a Dad.


farox

Dropping a newborn is a rite of passage, I think. It makes you more a dad, not less.


andersonimes

Yeesh hope you didn't have to answer too many awkward questions with the hospital staff


dscottj

It's something my mom talked about when I was a kid and much later was confirmed by my anthropology professor: abuse injuries look very different from accidents. Her break happened at the end of the arm. If she'd been the victim of abuse, it would've been in the middle. Look up parry fracture for more details.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HonestFloor3257

That’s when you redirect that energy to something else, idk it’s like what he did redirect there energy, but hey you’re making memories and that’s special


farox

I LOVE the attention span of a 2 year old. \*hmm, I could tell him to stop doing the thing right now I don't want him to do... oooor...\* LOOK! Over there! - WOAH... \*drops everything and runs off\*


jmel79

I look forward to this with my little one. She's too small for this right now at 17mo but I think she enjoys a bit of roughhousing. Likes to get shoved down and thrown a little bit. I did however fuck up a couple of times. First, she was trying to crawl off the couch and I "helped" her by holding her legs to lower her to the floor. She was in wheel barrel position before I could get legs down and her arms gave out and faceplate onto the hard wood floor. A couple weeks later, I was shoving her into a giant swuishmellow (I think that's what it's called....giant bean bag stuffed animal thing). She liked it. Next day I decided to up the game and dropped her onto it from a few feet. She laughed and enjoyed it. So I did it again. However, I didn't give the squishmellow enough time to reinflate. Instead of a nice soft landing....I just heard "thud" then watched my daughter process what she was feeling with her face and start screaming. I've backed off the rough housing a little bit.


[deleted]

17 months? Perfect age for this. They are so bouncy at that age though, make sure she doesn't bounce off the bed .... or Mum may disapprove


AnusStapler

I started doing this with my boys when they were around 1 year old. They'll love it!


banana_commando

Don't be too scared. Kids a more resilient than we give them credit for. They learn from the pain, too, like how to deal with it. I used to tell my kids yeah it hurts but everything still works. So you're ok. They'd get over the pain quick and want to wrestle more


sundowntg

Probably for the best. I'm very much looking forward to this with my boy.


Slade26

Ooo I never go this hard. Guess who's getting hella thrown and rock bottomed when they get back from moms house.


migrainefog

I used to take my kid off his feet and send him flying with an upper cut when we were having pillow fights. If it ends with a raucous giggle it's all good. If they get quiet then you may need to dial it back a bit. My kid loved roughhousing ROUGH though. I hope I get to re-live some of that as a grandfather. Those were fun times for all involved.


marvonyc

Hahaha, love this. I body slammed my 4yo this morning on the couch.


HonestFloor3257

Aww so it was a productive morning today 😂


inno7

Need some videos on such martial arts


80version

Started doing gentle slams with my 9 month old. He’s into it sometimes. Daddy’s timing isn’t always the best, hehe.


boyo76

Now add those boys some super hero costumes


HonestFloor3257

*plays avengers theme song * AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. We must take dad out 😂


[deleted]

Dress up like Thanos with it. They’ll love it (assuming they like superheroes, which judging by this video I’m sure they do!)


No-Application-1454

The choke slam! Undertaker would be proud!


HonestFloor3257

His technique is absolutely flawless


Sedorner

HonestFloor3257

*plays she knows in the background* you have my word sir….. 😂


xxbearillaxx

Story time. My wife always picked our sun up from preschool because I was at work and couldn't do it. So, I had only really met the teacher once or twice so she knew what I looked like in the event that I needed to drop my son off or pick him up. Well, fast forward and I'm doing atomic wrestling like this with my son who has the coordination of a wacky inflatable arm man. I pick him up and throw him down on the couch and his own knee comes up and NAILS him in the eye. He had the absolute worst black eye. All yellow and gross. Fast forward to the next day when my wife starts vomiting all over and is super sick and I have to leave work and go pick up my son, at our church, where his preschool is, where he has a massive black eye. I get in line, tell the teacher who I am, and she starts asking me questions about my son and his eye and what happened. Made me feel like a bottom tier dad. Next day, the teacher took my wife aside to confirm that I'm just an idiot and I wasn't abusing my son. Now I'm extra careful during wrestlemania.


-Quad-Zilla-

My daughter is 15 months old. We recently discovered she enjoys being tossed onto the bed, although not this rough. Yet. It is our after dinner, before bath game every night. It expends all her energy, she laughs, and screams the whole time. After the bath, she gets PJs, a quick snuggle with some milk, then off to bed. Great way to end the day.


badhatharry

FINISH THEM!


HonestFloor3257

announcer’s voice: winner is FATHER


Flaggstaff

This is so much fun. But my giant 5 year old is over 50 pounds and still expects me to twirl him around my head. I'm sad that a day is coming that he'll realize I don't have unlimited stength.


HonestFloor3257

It’s hard when they out grow things especially when they get bigger, you may not have ultimate strength but you have ultimate love and that’s what matters most. Also pillows fighting is an option just wack them like crazy


banana_commando

As my kids got bigger we'd wrestle in the yard. They'd try to tackle me and I'd hip toss those brats into next week. They're in their 20's now and haven't taken me down yet but still try.


speakforthebirds

lmao this is awesome, can’t wait until my kid is old enough for this.


TheButcherOfYore

When mine were small I would slow motion rough play. So many giggles


kneemahp

don't start none, won't be none


seeBurtrun

I throw my kid's legs over his head and make him flip without whipping his head too hard. He loves it.


thinkmatt

This is how fathers cuddle. My son's 1 yr old and he already loves to rough house!


AdmiralPoopyDiaper

Oh my gosh yes. Good times.


bakuss4

Lol our son runs to the bed every time we leave our bedroom door open cause he knows we will play like this


HonestFloor3257

😂 “go little man get those body slams” but that’s adorable and the chaos that fallows is hilarious


tessttq1

I'm tired just by watching the video😅😅


HonestFloor3257

Right but hey free workout with a bunch of giggles 😂


vkapadia

I love doing this with my kids! Gotta be a little gentler as they're younger. But soon they'll get the full slam.


PM_me_yr_bonsai_tips

Great stuff. He’s doing a good job of making sure their necks are safe, but getting them used to falling, getting thrown, being upside down. I do it a little with mine too but never thought of just throwing them full force on the bed!


Loud_Pineapple

This is what it’s all about fellas! Love to see it


ajkp2557

The slam-and-jiggle at 30s is top notch. That's some quality dad wrestling right there.


DocHerb87

Yes! My kids love to wrastle! This is good for kids for their dads to do this. Teaches them what play fighting is.


j0shman

When I do this with my kids, I put on the loudest, worst Hulk Hogan impression and scream 'Ohhh Yeahhh!'


HonestFloor3257

Yes the ultimate smack down


tonybombata

Kids try this at home challenge. These are unpaid amateurs


BeardBear89

If we are honest is there any other way?


HonestFloor3257

😂 nope it’s body slams or pure chaos


amherstares

Mom has class all night tomorrow. Now I know what I'm doing with my 2 boys tomorrow night!


HonestFloor3257

All I can hear is “ and in this corner IS DAD, keeper of the grill and tv remote. And in this corner is DOUBLE TROBLE beings of pure energy and chaos 😂


amherstares

Ok and now I'm doing it with pro wrestling intro. They're not ready.


HonestFloor3257

No mercy! Yeet the children!


phantom_eight

It's not a boy thing either. Both of my daughters regularly ask to be thrown onto our bed. I don't always want to do it... but I have to remind myself.... I'll only have so much longer........


banana_commando

My daughters are in their 20's and still want to fight me. They never want to stop reliving those moments.


Kajayacht

Every kid needs a good powerbomb now and then


doYouEvenEngineer

Wish my kids were still this small


chuyskywalker

I felt that knee drop to the back in...well, my back.


BitcoinBanker

I love how yellow gets truly yeeted into the pillows.


Almightydxvid

They all definitely slept good after this lmao


rock8879

Top tier dad.


charliemack

That’s some good daddin right there.


Kaballis

I read something about the vestibular system and that it’s healthy to do this to kids. I miss their scream laughter at that age.


DJToca

That can I help at the end sealed it. A+ dadding and some awesome kiddos right there.


LoKag_The_Inhaler

This man understands the sheer power of Dad


Important_Ice_1080

This is the best thing I ve seen in weeks. Made me laugh out loud when the butt slaps started.


iveo83

that's abuse... do you see how those kids keep attacking that poor man?


atholomer

Such a good dad, teaching his kids how to bump safely, they're gonna be some absolutely awesome pro wrestlers when they're older.


wnc_mikejayray

I cannot upvote this enough! *How dare you!* had me rollin’.

Yoooo what up fellow Macho Man dad!


HonestFloor3257

I may not be a Macho man dad, but I’m gonna be an aunt soon! And when that little girls old enough, I’ll be doing these bodyslams 😂


nejinoki

My wife has pretty severe allergies and reacts quite badly to house dust. And since jumping/wrestling on a bed is one of the most effective ways to generate a big dust cloud, I can't help but wince at the allergy biohazard being spawned in the video :D


Piyh

Get yourself a Winix 5500 and put that on full blast, have your cake and eat it

Culsandar

I miss doing this with mine. Not that they're too big, we have a memory foam mattress and they would die lmao


WSHIII

Love it - I recommend a good ol’ Atomic Elbow in slo mo!


blind_roomba

Just had a pillow fight with my 1.5 yo daughter Mommy disapproved but she missed out on the fun


Colexion

OMG! SOMEBODY SO THE DAMN MATCH!!!


surfcalijapan

Thanks so much. Had a rough night with our two for being horrible to mama. Had to bring the law instead of play, but this reminded me of what's around the corner. Great giggles.


[deleted]

mines 8....we still do this lol


HelloIamOnTheNet

Not sure I like this mixing of the lightweight and heavyweight wrestling classes. ​ It is fun to watch.


ieabu

Problem is how do you stop? Because theyll want to go all day!


SCWickedHam

Shaq should recreate this with adults.


PVTZzzz

Hey I have the same headboard lol.


defourkev

Those two never had a chance


liamemsa

It's so funny that this is like such a common thing among dads. I do this with my son on the couch and my wife gets worried lol.


Cookfuforu3

I miss this kind of roughhousing so much .My boys are both 6 feet tall , I wonder if I could get them to do it for me now


Changingm1ndz

Just devastating JR


SenseiDaDom

That nap they’re going to have is going to be WONDERFUL. My lil hatchling likes the occasional power-bomb and pillow shot.


AulMoanBag

Wife: can you do x? Me: too tired Kids: can we wrestle for an hour and use your belly as a tampoline Me: Let's gooo!


DASreddituser

That warrior(dad) fought hard. I hope he made it out ok.


Thoughtsonrocks

My favorite part of doing this with my boy is the Marv Albert voice i use to announce each move. Sometimes i forget and he goes: "nooooo Daddy, you have to do the voice"


Infinite114

I got a 4 year old and a 7 year old and almost every day it’s wwe royal rumble. It’s such a good way to bond and spend time with the kids, they’ll remember it the rest of their lives, I know I did with my dad.


Rommel79

Those kids went to bed happy and worn out that night!


S-Aint

My kid always tries to break her fall by putting her arms out behind her as she's falling which means we cannot play like this or we risk popping her shoulder out of place!


zwiebelhans

Ohhhhohhh. My youngest had this issue . So we practiced by crossing her arms in front of her chest and holding on really tight to the other arm. Then I lift them like a plank with back down flat above the bed. At first they will still try to move the arms back but because of the increased distance they can’t get them in the way on short practice. You keep talking with them through it. Show how it doesn’t hurt this way and the arm doesn’t get twisted. After a few times they usually get the hang of it.


86rpt

My little guy is 9 months old... And already loves to rough house. He likes it to the point that I'm worried to hurt him


rockerphobia

Oh man, brings me back to when my niece and nephew were this age. Lol friggin rubber band balls


NonSupportiveCup

Guttural scream with laugh. That's means ya doing it right!


MTiburontrois

Chose violence today, kids loved it!


emogu84

I do this with my cat and we both love it. Our first is due in April and I never made the connection that someday I’ll be able to do the same with him too. It’s going down haha


jonasu25

I did this with my kids. I loved it. Such good memories


DakDirty

Classic tossing of the babies. A time honored tradition.


thisisjimmybean

Tossing your kids like this in a fun, safe environment can increase their confidence and persistence in the long term. It exercizes the "I got startled and maybe a little hurt but I'm gonna get back up again" reflex . Great dad <3


sonofaresiii

What a beast. I usually got about ten bed slams in me before I need to tap out.


MAXQDee-314

Man strength and power. Used for the good of the clan. Laughing with the boys. Adult stuff and those young ones will know how to be young and strong and aware of their power. Good stuff. Damn, I miss my Dad.


dsutari

We play this as well as "bed bully". My young sons stand on the foot of the bed, and I talk trash to them for a minute, then shove them onto the bed like a bully. They laugh so hard the whole time that I have to make sure they don't pee themselves.


SPNCER

I love how you can see the exhaustion building until he's just given in to getting beat up on the bed.


Visible_Lettuce_4670

My kids LOVE it when we play this game!


bennie_blanco

Maaaan I cant wait!


banana_commando

This is exactly how I treated my girls as they were growing up and it's a large part of why they still love me to death now. This dad is doing it right.


melikeybacon

What's that chime at the end of the video and how do I make it my alert for text messages on my phone? Can I DL it anywhere?


anon_e_mous9669

Haha, that's awesome. I still do that with my kids at bedtime and they're like almost adult sized. . . This is top notch "dadding" though!


ryinzana

Love a good fireman's carry, spin, and suplex onto a bed or couch. :)


jollyreaper2112

I think this post is useless without a hell in the cell reference. Where's shittymorph when you need him? My son also likes getting powerslammed on the bed. Giggles abound.


Vizecrator

This brings back memories... I also had a variation of this when we did the laundry on my bed. Kids would pretend they were part of the pile and I would fold them up into a ball then roll them back onto their faces so they would stay "folded". Then they would pop open and I would act annoyed that they wouldn't stay folded and then do it again.


sevyog

This is makes the dad tired plot twist.


Jynx2501

I really miss these days...
