Forced agere but your new dad doesnât get mad at you and always treats you like his baby, no matter what your headspace is
Of course youâre not going to just give in immediately, he knows that, but that doesnât mean heâs going to entertain the notion that youâre an adult
Youâd cry a lot in the beginning and say things that made him a bit sad, âLet me go. I hate you, I donât wanna be here, I wanna go homeâ but he knows you donât really mean it. Youâre just scared, new places are hard for little baby brains to handle âOh I know baby, shh shh⌠Papaâs here, itâs okay bubâ you wiggle and hit but he just holds you down in his lap and against his chest. âNo no, we donât hit baby, thatâs not nice, okay?â
He doesnt act like your fighting and attempts to escape are at all intentional, you just dont know better. âAh-ah! Donât run away from Daddy please. If you wanna go outside, you have to ask nicely and hold papaâs hand.â âLet me go! Please I just wanna go home I donât wanna be here! Let me go!â âI know you wanna see all the pretty flowers and birds, but you have to be a good boy. Itâs dangerous if you wander off without me, bubâ
Even through all the crying and screaming his voice is soft and heâs gentle. Overtime you just stop saying that stuff, heâs heard it a thousand times already anyways. Thereâs no need to pretend to be small, heâll treat you as such anyways and itâs getting easier to feel yourself slip. Tired from crying as he holds you against him and you lean your head on his shoulder while he rocks you.
Thereâs not much to do, so you color and arrange your toys even if a few days earlier you said youâd rather stare at a wall than act like a baby. He doesnât comment on any of those changes either, he just says how pretty your picture is when he comes to check on you. If you decide to not play tomorrow, embarrassed by him noticing, he just picks you up and sets you on his lap while he reads (out loud, of course, babies should be read to often).
Youâll always be his little boy even if you insist youâre not. Little kids always like to pretend to be bigger than they really are. Papa loves you because youâre you, his sweet boy <3
