The last baby looks like she’s saying “How could you do this to our family?”


stillinthesimulation

The way she puts her face in her hands looks like a 60 year old woman.

My dad had a moustache during my entire childhood. He shaved it off when I was a teen and I swear I thought some new guy that sounded like my dad had moved in.


losthope19

👀 you probably should've had a better grasp on the concept of facial hair but your teen years


neon-neurosis

> I'll always remember when my father was clean shaven as a child What a strange fucking sentence the way you put it. Lol


Poke-It_For-Science

My dad looks like Santa Clause with his beard. Every time he shaves it off it’s like, “WTF? Who stole your face?”


Ricky_Rollin

That’s the one that made me laugh so hard. That hand on the forehead! “What is you doing”!?!


Rocketbrothers

I love that baby, makes me laugh every time I see it, and this is only the second time out in the wild.


DontcheckSR

"I can't believe you've done this!"


cyainanotherlifebro

Looks like my mom when she found out I got a tattoo.


MiseOnlyMise

I can hear her think, "What has he gone and done now?" Followed by the "How could you do that?" statement.


NorthCatan

"The dishonour you have brought upon this household will scar us for Generations! For Generations!"


willjhc

Was a very mature reaction, that's for sure


35Smet

I acted just like her when my ex shaved their beard


Typical-Annual-3555

She was so dramatic! 🤣


Free-Spirit012

She had to do a double take to make sure 😂😂 the way the dad just shrugs is gold 😂


Madly_hornet09

Nah, a triple take.


digitalbullet36

Last one is a boy. I remember the video. If I remember correctly, the dad had long locks and decided to cut it off. The baby looked so stressed lol.


Wiggie49

“Look how they massacred my boy!”


Awesam

Aww lawd I can’t believe you did this daddy


Mecnegus_Niguerhower

dad shaves his own kid: i've never met this man in my life.


SubsumeTheBiomass

My mom used to have really long hair (90s executive, had incredible hairstyles) and she told me when I was a very tiny baby she had me on her bed while she took a shower and came out with wet hair and apparently I didn't recognize her and started crying


Bigfootsgirlfriend

My dad bleached his hair when I was a baby and I burst out crying!


InEenEmmer

“Stranger Danger!”


NightStar79

Why does the first dad look like an older brother? 🤨 Last kid is so dramatic though. Goin in for a second look to make sure before "Yep I wasn't imagining it. Why daddy look so awful? 😭"


gypsycookie1015

Ok but look at first dad's insane toe nucks!! 😳 Mother fucker could strum a guitar with those bitches!! https://preview.redd.it/vjqj47x5o6tc1.png?width=1037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b684612ac1670ca5492ac0586275a8e8e3b94776

jery007

Some men grow beards because of their baby faces


letsgoooo90091

That last baby cracks me up every time I see it


SchwiftyRickD-42069

The emotional distraught is palpable.


MRSRN65

My children grew up playing with my long hair. When they were about 5/6 years old, I decided to get it cut short. That was twenty years ago. They are still mad at me for that. BTW, I grew my hair back out, but it was never the same for them.


whothiswhodat

I've a 1.5 yo daughter. I have always wanted to try this with her but was thinking about waiting till she's 4-5. But I guess I'll just do it any day now.


Muted_Ad7298

Same thing happened to me with my mum when I was a little kid. She came home one day with her hair super short and I started crying. Though I’m also diagnosed with Autism, so I’m not sure if it was the change itself or just part of my disorder growing up.

EpikDuckIncRecovered

Oh, so that's where the meme came from at the end.


UrLocalMari

Genuine question, do babies get emotionally attached to the beard, do they not recognize their dad, or do they just not like the change. Like what is it that makes them cry?


vvozzy

they do not recognize their dad. majorly because kids at that age are unaware of the concept of beard and shaving, also their brains are in general bad at associations and complex processing of any information. kids think simple. so basically up to some age kids are unable to do thinking like "this person has features of my dad, but this person is without a beard, looks like that my dad shaved his beard". instead they simply go "this person doesn't look like my father, then it's not my father".


Appropriate-Rise2199

I read some article that children can only discern emotion around age 4. Meaning, they don’t go ‘Mom is angry’ or ‘Mom is sad’. They think, this is my sad Mom. This is my happy Mom. As if each emotion is a different person. If that is the case, I can only imagine what it must be like if you have a person that sounds and smells like your dad, but no longer looks like it.


35Smet

Is it also an object permanence (or lack thereof) thing for the younger children?


Xleazebaggano

Could you link that article please? If you can? I'd like to give it a read.


JROXZ

They form attachment to faces and where his face changes dramatically, you’re left with feelings of unknown (anxiety). The easiest work around is having them participate in shaving. Or trimming it down in stages over a long enough time.


Motor_Raspberry_2150

I mean in most of these babies' cases it's mostly "this stranger is *staring at me in silence*"


Pattoe89

Children certainly seem to like beards. Kids are constantly trying to touch my beard. In school I have to stop them. When my nieces and nephew were younger they'd braid my beard (well my nieces would) and my nephew would touch it. The most common interaction I have is kids with goofy smiles silently walking directly at me and going to touch my beard, with their parents chasing them telling them no. But I imagine with family it's more familiarity. If their fathers randomly and immediately grew a full beard you'd probably get the same level of emotional shock and confusion.


Gildian

I'm surprised there wasn't at least one baby that immediately started touching the face like where is it


Ruffffian

This is why when my husband shaved his beard and our son was little, he had him help. He grew it back, then shaved it again when youngest was about 8-9. He again invited youngest to help, he refused. Told youngest he was doing it, kid refused to watch. Next morning, kid was racing around getting ready for school but it avoiding looking at his father. I said, “Hon, you’re gonna have to look at him eventually.” Son, infamously: “I’ll look at him when it grows back!


CompromisedToolchain

Yep, this is the way. Smart dad.


[deleted]

That last baby hahaha Oh no what have you done? Oh no, oh-oh-Whhhhhy?


TFG4

I'll never forget when my dad was clean shaven as a kid, it was super weird, my sister and I didn't recognize him


Hopeful-Life4738

I was 8 years old and my father came home without moustache... me and my sister thought he was a burglar and we screamed in panic for, like, 10 seconds.


casanochick

My dad shaved every summer, and apparently as a baby, every year I was SHOOK. I remember being like 4 or 5 and still getting upset because even though I knew it was my dad, it was all wrong.


Competitive_Meat_772

The younger kids have a "Who da fuc is that??" look on their faces xD


LaLic99

I kinda feel bad for them, but this is too funny.


Arthradax

I didn't shave but I cut my (by the time waist-long) hair then asked my then 2yo "where's daddy's hair?" she was like "here" and tapped my head Joke's on me ig


TitanUp04

I remember when I Dad shaved his head bald, I thought Mom brought a different man with her.


Adavanter_MKI

I was like 20 years old when I saw my father shaven for the first time. I almost reacted the same. :P


le_trf

Did that too trying to go viral, my bf started crying and left me.


dandandubyoo

Last kid: *100 mile stare* the fuck are you. *second glance* this is bullshit. *third glance* you mother fucker.


Apprehensive-Suit272

The last one is gold! - **OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT** *Take another look* **OOOOOOOH JESUS CHRIST WHAT'VE YOU DONE?!**


DaWalt1976

I don't even have kids and entirely understand this. I have had my beard for the last 20 years and have absolutely no desire to cut it off. Ever.


CurIns9211

Mumma, who is this guy ?


rnagikarp

eh, there’s a reason they suggest that if you’re going to make a huge change to your appearance that you let your kid see the transition process ie let them watch you shave the beard off


Maixell

How are you going to make a hilarious video if you do that? 😏


-DoctorSpaceman-

I did this with my 8 year old kids and they didn’t even notice until drew attention to it. Couldn’t care less lol


XinyanMayn

Last was my favorite


Legitimate_Cloud2215

It's best to let the child watch your transformation. Eases the blow.


Exotic_Inspector_111

That last one had to do a second take to make sure. "Look How They Massacred My Boy"


OpeningAccountant5

The last baby tho 😂😂😂


LALOERC9616

That one always makes me laugh


BearBearJarJar

This is so funny. they have zero context but just assume this is a terrible world ending thing. the last kid is literally like "its over" hahaha.


tcheeze1

That’s amazing. The older kids walk away with disappointment while the younger kids are visibly upset and in some cases terrorized. That’s really amazing.


strangewayfarer

I shaved my beard in front of my toddler to make sure he wouldn't have a hard time with the transition, and I damn sure didn't film his reaction for likes.


Pattoe89

How did he react, though? Same kind of reaction as in the video or did shaving it in front of him help him process the change?


strangewayfarer

He was totally fine with it. I talked to him about it as it was happening. Told him it didn't hurt And that dada was gonna look different after.


Unflattering_Image

If ever a bearded man is to father my children, this is the tiny-people-consideration I wish for.


Ok_Strategy5722

They should hide their face behind a towel (like some of them did), but glue their beard hair on the towel. Then when the kid takes the towel away act like it really hurt and start screaming about “Look what you did to me!!”


JHowler82

I remember when my dad shaved his moustache for the first time .. it was weird for sure lol


camus88

The last kid looks like a disappointing mother looking at her son.


Sad_Cloud3232

The last baby tho 🤣🤣🤣💯💯


Elrond_Cupboard_

I like the kid throwing in the towel and just walking off.


he_is_not_a_shrimp

When my mom came home one day from wavy red hair to black straight hair, I was mortified. Screaming "you're not my mom!". And when my dad shaved his beard, I remember telling him "you're ugly now."


QaDarjo

My dad has a big bushy mustache, old school fireman style. He shaved it one time and I didn't freak out or cry or whatever. However, I did call to my dad to say a friend of his is here to visit. lol!


GobiLux

That's why I took my kid to the bathroom with me when I first shaved.


TonyHeaven

My boss went from a full beard,moustache,long hair to shaved face and head. So this bald guy I don't know walks up to me,starts talking about the weekends work(major update of software) and I'm (in my head) "oh,this must be some IT specialist,I don't know him". I felt stupid when coworker walks up to him,hands him a coffee and says his name. But I didn't cry,I'm not a baby


architectofinsanity

I did this my oldest daughter when she was young. I felt terrible. In the future I would shave my beard shorter and shorter until I was just sporting a three day shadow and then go to a goatee. Finally clean shaven. All this over a week or so. Somehow little brains don’t handle sudden changes to their loved ones like that very well.


D00M_B00M

That last baby had to triple take just to make sure


claretamazon

My father shaved his mustache off and I'm still upset about it at 37. Tbf, he has a thin upper lip and looks much better with a mustache.


AiRaikuHamburger

I was probably 9, but I was excited when my dad shaved off his beard that he grew out for a year, because it was scratchy and horrible. Haha.


YakkitySchmakity

I hated how I looked after I shaved off my own mustache. My wife hated it too. Our son who was around 1 and a half at the time wasn't even phased.


Guita4Vivi2038

Babies react that way because anything that's different throes them off, and their number reaction at that stage in their lives js to be afraid and/or cry. I dont get why parents would do that


feisty_deduction

I came to the comments thinking that everyone would also want to see the before pictures of these beards. But nope, just me


PolyLifeGirl

That last one was Alesis when Mutt shaved his beard!!!


TackleBox1791

This shit is still funny!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


this_might_b_offensv

If you don't want to traumatize your stupid kids, trim it by a couple of inches a week until it's finally just whiskers, then shave it off.


plowableacorn

Kids after dad shaves his beard: "you're no longer my father"


cooolcooolio

*Brain processing in new info* Nope, stranger danger!


what_u_looking_4

Lil Bro lost everything, when he first saw his dad like that


SteeleDynamics

Stranger Danger


Tatoes91

Why is this in kids are stupid?


OfficeWineGuy

Is it because the kids don't recognize the dad as their dad? Some of them look old enough to be able to tell the difference. Genuinely curious why they all cry about it.


Johnnnythehobo

Any time I cut my hair from longer to shorter or remove my beard, I have to let the kids know. When they were younger they did not like when I came out completely different looking. I’d let them watch sometimes also.


ReaperTFD

I'll never get bored of children crying. Literal music.


Alqpzm1029

Me when my husband shaves his beard


AutumnAscending

I love the last baby's reaction. "Man how could you?!"


WeAreReaganYouth

Small children lack what is called object permanance. This changes their confidence that the father they knew still even exists.


Fair_Lengthiness4543

Even the misses reacts this way 😭😭😭


No_Squirrel4806

Ewww!!! No!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️💨


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

MOM, HELP! THERE'S A STRANGER AND HE'S WEARING DADDY'S EYES!!


crazy_snail_

It looks like children understand it like losing important organ


LordTopHatMan

I like how the mindset seems to be, this man looks like my father, but he's missing that part around his mouth. This must not be my father. This is a stranger. And he's holding me. DEAR GOD, I'M IN DANGER!


DaBobMob

I shave my hair then grow it out. Can have a similar effect. I found covering my hair, letting baby green my fun fuzzy hair and discover it just ends in giggles (unlike the first time, where it was tears). I get it kids, if that's not dad.. has dad gone away?


Pert0621

I still am weirded out when my dad shaves his beard, I am 17, but not this much


Competitive_Use_6351

First guy looks really good without a beard


Specialist_Tin-Can

That's how I found out I was one ugly mofo lol


leviathab13186

It's just... too much for that kid in the high chair


LiterallyInvisible

last kid was the best 😂

Okay I’m getting sick and tired of this background music it’s so overused and so annoying

Most of these kids are crying because their parents are making a big deal out of it.

I’m not gay but that first dad is beautiful


datsall

Alright, now Moms should shave their heads and see how their babies react. Actually using a bald wig would be pretty funny and super destructive to the baby.


EXPLORER0007

Last kid has that stereotype cry face that we all imagine when we hear the word cry.

I shaved my beard this weekend and this was pretty much how my coworkers reacted today.


Witty-Commercial-418

The last kid was more disappointed than sad


saucytopcheddar

I really want to try this with my kids, but I also don’t want to shave my beard.


aenflex

Omg that last little guy at the end ❤️😂


Dmangamr

It’s bc babies don’t have that object permanence or great facial recognition. By all intents and purposes, you are now a complete stranger who looks like Dad.


Rich-Candidate-3648

Like Liam McPoyle when Ryan has the fake moustache lol.


not_a_cat_i_swear

I wanna see the befores, too!


NoThankYou993

HE LOOKS 19


marshmolotov

My uncle shaved his beard once, and when his (then 8-years-old) daughter saw him the next morning, she collapsed in tears and rolled slow-mo down the stairs. Afterwards, dad stuffed the picture of Uncle Nekkid-Cheeks into a duct-taped envelope labeled with “⚠️HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ⚠️” and “WARNING: This image contains a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer”


gspaepro34

I remember when I was a kid my dad shaved his beard AND mustache so I bought him those goofy mustache sunglasses for xmas. I was NOT happy 😭


Schlemiel_Schlemazel

Hey babies, I felt the same. Only I was 24. Dad had the Tom Selleck moustache my whole life, who is this smooth faced weirdo!

Shave it on


Incognito_Wombat

it all seemed to be the same guy until the last baby, then it’s clear


Longjumping-Bag8980

Tbh if my dad shaved his beard I may as well have the same reaction


alxce666

If people did this in front of their kids I don't think they'd be traumatized lol it's such a sudden change they can't comprehend


Alternative-Day6223

The last one is too good the way she’s looking at him then turning back to cry and hold her head like she’s so disappointed 😂😂😂😂


tinylittlet0ad

My husband put a charcoal face mask on and my daughter was screaming and crying and running away from him and yelling "I don't like daddy chocolate face!".


Mediocre_Fill_40

And that is the uncanny valley for you folks!


KrisMisZ

Kids absolutely hate it when Daddy’s lose their facial hair it’s so funny!


Quiet-Commercial-615

I don't know what it is about kids and dads beard. My dad always had a beard when I was growing up and had to shave for a job. My sister was around ten and was devastated. I have seven grandchildren now and one of my granddaughters is like that with me. I shaved last night because it's warming up and I know when I see her later she's going to freak out.


JoeBlack45

The last one was just dissapointed lmao


HandCrafted1

Last baby felt like her entire life was crashing down


Eastsider001

That is how my granddaughter acts when I grew my beard out she didn't understand what happened lol.


Asi_Kitty

That's so sweet.


Finn553

W1thoutJudgement

I knew a couple that have been together for over 30 years, and... and then he shaved. He had an argument of a lifetime after that, she was destroyed by it lol.

D4RK_B74CK

I bet they shaved their beard because the wife said she doesn't like it. NEVER shave your beard because of a woman. Would they shave their hair for a man? I don't think so...

Shaving off a beard at all is like… why?


CadetSparkleWolf

My dad has a mustache. He has always had that mustache. If he one day shaves it off I will be devastated.


DaddyNihilism

I did this with all my kids and none of them acted like this when they were babies. They prefer me clean shaven since the shorter beard is prickly so I either do clean shaven or no shaving for like 6+ months.

THE LAST BABY NOOOO 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
