										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parents have to share the upbringing of children, and these days dads are more involved than ever, which is a wonderful thing.</p>
<p>Usually, both parents work, and sometimes they work different shifts and take care of the kids while the other one is at work.</p>
<p>Rujeana and her husband have two kids and she often wondered just what her husband did while she was gone at work&#8230;</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9612" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dad-dance.jpg" alt="" width="1193" height="709" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dad-dance.jpg 1193w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dad-dance-300x178.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1193px) 100vw, 1193px" /></p>
<p>This sparked an idea that ended up showing her what an amazing dad he truly is!</p>
<p>Thinking that she would place a hidden camera to catch him snoozing while the kids got into everything, she was shocked to see him having an absolute blast with the children.</p>
<p>And of course, he had no idea he was being filmed which made this video even more adorable.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9613" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dancing-daddy.jpg" alt="" width="1251" height="706" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dancing-daddy.jpg 1251w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/dancing-daddy-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1251px) 100vw, 1251px" /></p>
<p>One day, the kids were dancing around in the living room shaking pom-pom&#8217;s, just doing normal kid stuff, when Dad enters the room.</p>
<p>Dad, with a laundry basket under his arm, put it down and started dancing with his daughter.</p>
<p>The song, &#8216;Supernatural&#8217; by Katy Perry must be his jam.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9614" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/daddy-pose.jpg" alt="" width="1128" height="709" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/daddy-pose.jpg 1128w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/daddy-pose-300x189.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 1128px) 100vw, 1128px" /></p>
<p>He showed off all of his fancy footwork before ending with an epic diva pose.</p>
<p>These are lucky kids to have such a fun, hands-on dad.</p>
<p>Watch them in action and try not to bust a gut! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>Rujeana said she can&#8217;t stop watching the video.</p>
<p>We can&#8217;t either, Rujeana.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mom always knows best &#8211; when she can figure it out, that is. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Laura Gerson was dealing with one of those perplexing situations that new parents are all too familiar with: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">How do we get our little angel to sleep through the night without constantly waking up? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Her baby girl Amelia was always waking up during the night, and she was determined to do whatever she could to help her child get more peaceful rest.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9379" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.20.05-AM.jpg" alt="" width="805" height="543" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.20.05-AM.jpg 805w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.20.05-AM-300x202.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Laura finally put two and two together as to what the problem was, and she came up with a rather ingenious solution.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She would proudly share what she came up with in a post on social media.</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Weird bedtime routine that’s worked… Lol</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since my little one was about 3 months old she’s gone to bed with roughly 10 dummies in with her.</span></i></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9380" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.25-AM.jpg" alt="" width="805" height="518" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.25-AM.jpg 805w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.25-AM-300x193.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><i>Found that when she cried of a night all she wanted was a dummy then she’d go back off.</i></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Realised that if she had one to hand then she would just find it of a night, trial and error with her losing a few down the side but 99% of the time she feels around, finds a dummy, sticks it in and she’s sorted!</span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haven’t had to go into her of a night for about 8 months now… WINNING!! </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I don’t even wanna think about the time when the “Dummy Fairy” comes to take them away tho&#8230;</span></i></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9381" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.42-AM.jpg" alt="" width="810" height="534" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.42-AM.jpg 810w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.42-AM-300x198.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It seems to be working like a charm, so hats off to mom for finally getting to the bottom of things.</span></p>
<p>And frustrated parents everywhere just learned a new &#8220;Raising Baby Hack&#8221; that could result in a LOT more restful nights&#8230;for everyone!</p>
<p>Well, there are some parents who think this trick doesn&#8217;t work, or simply don&#8217;t like the idea of pacifiers. Can&#8217;t please everyone, of course.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As for little Amelia, though, she&#8217;s going to have little trouble sleeping through the night anymore, and that’s a welcome relief for Laura.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-9382" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.11-AM.jpg" alt="" width="808" height="545" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.11-AM.jpg 808w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Screenshot-2018-01-10-at-10.19.11-AM-300x202.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 808px) 100vw, 808px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have a sneaky suspicion she’ll be benefiting from some extra rest moving forward as well.</span></p>
<p>Simple ideas like this really need to start circulating, because new parents need all the help they can get.</p>
<p>Come on, admit it&#8230;this parenthood thing isn&#8217;t especially easy, is it? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nobody wants their vehicle stolen.</p>
<p>But when something far more valuable is stolen along with it, it&#8217;s downright heartbreaking.</p>
<p>Property is one thing but mementos are quite another; when those disappear, it&#8217;s like a piece of you dies, and it&#8217;s a terrible feeling.</p>
<p>Thieves don&#8217;t care what you&#8217;re feeling of course, but one thief couldn&#8217;t possibly have known that he was stealing a woman&#8217;s son when he stole an SUV out of a driveway last week.</p>
<p>That SUV belonged to Shelly Brown and when she got up the next morning to find the car gone, she was in tears&#8230;and not because she loved the car.</p>
<p>No, she loved &#8211; and will always love &#8211; what was in that car, because it&#8217;s completely and entirely irreplaceable.</p>
<p>As it turns out, Shelly keeps what remains of her son with her at all times: A tiny vial of her departed son&#8217;s ashes hangs from the rearview mirror, and that of course disappeared along with the SUV.</p>
<p>She contacted the police but didn&#8217;t expect any results, so of course Shelly was miserable.</p>
<p>But then, something happened&#8230;call it karma, call it a miracle, call it luck, but it was just plain amazing.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="1000" height="563" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q1EN7dmrMhI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The Del City, Oklahoma mother spotted a vehicle that looked exactly like her stolen SUV driving past her on the streets, and her instincts told her to follow it.</p>
<p>She tailed it to a parking lot not far away and when the driver had left the vehicle, Shelly approached and was shocked to find that yes, it WAS the stolen car.</p>
<p>There had been some damage done to the steering wheel but otherwise, everything was there &#8211; including her beloved son&#8217;s ashes.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, police haven&#8217;t identified the thief (who likely fled when he saw Shelly by the SUV) but the point is, her son has been returned to her.</p>
<p>There are times when you just have to throw up your hands and say, &#8220;That&#8217;s just a once-in-a-lifetime thing!&#8221; And maybe it is; what were the chances of Shelly ever seeing that SUV again?</p>
<p>Well, maybe chances change when God steps in. Did you like this? Give us a share!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re a kid, you always hope the tooth fairy leaves you a little more than your parents promised.</p>
<p>After all, pieces of you are falling out of your head and you&#8217;d think each piece would be worth more than a quarter or fifty cents.</p>
<p>When I was a kid, a quarter was all I&#8217;d get and even though twenty-five cents meant a lot more back then, it still felt a little low. The compensation just seemed a little off, in my young eyes.</p>
<p>I remember asking my parents if I could keep growing and losing new teeth over and over, and if the bigger ones might be worth MORE. I wouldn&#8217;t even have to work!</p>
<p>They thought that was a funny idea but of course, not quite plausible. And they also laughed at the idea of more money for each tiny tooth, so I was out of luck.</p>
<p>But I never got a letter from the tooth fairy, formally addressing my request for a salary increase.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s what happened to this little boy and the ensuing picture is just exploding all over the internet&#8230;because it&#8217;s just so damn hilarious. He wasn&#8217;t happy with $1 for his tooth; he wanted $5.</p>
<p>So, the fairy replied and here&#8217;s the ensuing <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/6rc28u/a_friends_son_got_1_from_the_tooth_fairy_a_couple/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reddit post</a>:</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7349" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter.png" alt="" width="768" height="768" data-wp-pid="7349" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter.png 768w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter-150x150.png 150w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter-300x300.png 300w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter-65x65.png 65w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter-80x80.png 80w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/ToothFairyKidLetter-600x600.png 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></p>
<p>The start of the letter is fantastic:</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>My name is Dee Kay. My associate Tooth Fairy told me about your letter and I have been assigned to your case, #092208-5.</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>Dee Kay (the Director of the Department of Dental Disturbance) then explains that although the boy&#8217;s full request cannot be fulfilled, they can give him a $1 increase per lost tooth if the tooth in question is cavity free.</p>
<p>C&#8217;mon, that&#8217;s not a bad deal at all!</p>
<p>Of course, there&#8217;s a flip side that coin: If the tooth DOES have a cavity, that results in a fee:</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>Our CTO (central tooth officer) S. Cary Gums would shut down the DDD (Department of Dental Disturbance) if we even attempted to bring a CFT [cavity filled tooth] back, and that would mean no TPO&#8217;s [tooth pay outs] for children anywhere. </strong></p>
<p><strong>I know you wouldn&#8217;t want to be the cause of that.</strong>&#8221;</p>
<p>See now, this makes perfect sense. It&#8217;s funny but hey, great incentive to brush your teeth and not stuff yourself with candy.</p>
<p>Talk about genius.</p>
