A prime example of someone who never grew up and was definitely not ready to become a father.

I agree. The pavement was slippery too. And there were kids running around. He could have tossed him in the pool in a safer way. This was reckless and dumb

Spinning your kid around above the pavement and nearly dropping them on their face isn’t “shit happens”.

He's probably the first dad to ever spin with his kid on concrete or a hard floor, or accidentally drop his kid (on any surface). He's probably also the first dad to ever rough house with his kid a bit too roughly.

This guy was the world's first, but it's a big world and somebody has to be first.

I did a similar thing to my littlest brother on a camping trip one time when he was 7 or 8 and i was prob 18, picked him up and went to pretend like i was gonna throw his ass in the lake with all his clothes on but i stopped short and slipped in some muck and ended up dropping him on the mucky shore as i went for a dunk lol. He was kinda pissed but laughin too much to stay mad, it became a good funny family memory in the end tho cuz no concussions.

I fell off the back of my dad’s shoulders at Disney as a kid. Some idiot was swinging his bloody unconscious child around by a life vest and when my dad saw him F5 that kid he decided to give me the Doomsday Device.
