Rec | PARTAKE IN YOUR PARENT’S HOBBY

♟️

My dad is so excited I’m learning to play chess and called me to say I can come play with him if I want any training lessons. It’s so cute to hear him be so animated about his hobby and happy that I’m learning it too. I really recommend it.

My dad and I both have ADHD and are always so excited to hear about each others specific interests and it just makes me so happy

taysol omg me too! (Mine is diagnosed, my dad suspects). He’s also autistic (it runs in my family lol) and getting him talking about something he’s interested in is the most he’ll ever actually directly reply to the thing youre saying directly and I love it haha

playing chess with your dad

(or anything your dad’s really into). Not gonna stop talking about it! learning chess has really opened up insight into my dad‘s life that i didnt even know I was missing. He messaged me today when I’d just played a game on chess.com saying “ahhhh a draw” cause he’s been watching it 😭 When he added me I discovered that in 2016 he wrote little summary blogs for his games and I don’t know why but it’s making me want to actually cry. We played a game at my dining table the other day and he taught me some stuff and then he called me after watching me play a game online to say that the way I doubled my rooks was almost exactly the same as the way he’d shown me in our game.

Playing on the playground with your parents

I recently got to spin my dad in a whirl n’ twirl (his FIRST time) and hearing him giggle was awesome beyond words.

asking your dad if he'S REALLY DOING OKAY & WHAT HE'S INTERESTED IN THESE DAYS

This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.
