    This one chokes up us Stepdads. My daughter dedicated this song to me when she was 8 years old. I've been her dad since she was 4 and she's now 15.

      And step-kids. I get emotional listening to this thinking about how my dad stepped into my life at 2 years old. It takes a special man to be a stepfather!

      Hell I’m not a stepdad or never had step parents but I still feel the emotions of this song. Maybe Bc I could never imagine leaving behind my beautiful little girl

      It chokes up us bonus kids (I’m 34 lol) too bc he’s the man who CHOSE to love me and marry my mama when I was 7. Most people that know us now don’t even know he’s not my biological father bc he’s always been my “daddy” lol ❤️

    My daddy met my mom when I was a few months old. They married and he adopted me. I’m 30 now and still the biggest daddy’s girl. This song always gets to me. He is the best daddy that he didn’t have to be.

    This song always chokes me up, because I can totally relate to it. I lost the man I called dad back in 2007. I have to admit that I gave this man hell throughout my teens. I constantly disrespected him. He never faltered though and continued to treat me like I was biologically his. As we were standing in the church on my wedding day, he kissed my forehead, pulled my veil down, and told me I looked stunning. He held out his arm and said, "Are you ready?" All I said was, "Thank you for everything!" I will never forget his response. "You don't have to thank me! That's what daddies do!" ....but he didn't have to!

  • @davidnunn6608
    @davidnunn6608 2 ปีที่แล้ว +69

    The line “looking through the glass I think about the man that’s standing next to me” makes the song. The step dad is STILL there. This song is me as the step dad. Our first grandbaby just turned 1 and I’m blessed everyday for that little guy in my life.

    I sang this to my step-dad who is my daddy Christmas 1999 in front of all my family and then fiancé. He died in 2007. I miss my daddy. I’m crying right now. Thank y’all for your reaction. Very special in my eyes. We feel each other in this.

    This was my husband, he raised my daughter as his own. Adopted her when her biological dad shunned her and couldn't wait to stop his $5.00 a week support. He recently passed and to this day she honors him calling him Dad and celebrating fathers day even after his death. She was 3 now she's 42

    31 years ago I married into a four year old son who had his mom wrapped around his little finger just the way he wanted. I was the outsider. Now all these years later I'm the dad of 2 grown sons. My oldest (that 4 year old) told me some time ago, "Dad I don't think I could do what you did. Raise someone else's son."1 I told him I didn't I raised MY sons
    My first granddaughter is due in January. My sons are good men

    The man I call dad...well "Pop", married my mom just before I turned 3. He has went on to his mansion in the sky now. He taught me more than I realized while he was teaching me. When I was about to get married, he asked me who was going to be my best man. I was like, I hope the best man is going to be my best man. "Pop, you're the best man". That was the only time I almost saw Pop cry. He held it back, but the moment was priceless. I have many faults, but I am a great dad, and I owe it all to the man that didn't have to be! I love you Pop!

    This song holds a special place in my heart. My son and I met when he was 8 months old I was 30. His mom and I are divorced now I have custody because of poor choices by mom. My son and I were in the garage changing motor oil he plays this song on his phone for me. I couldn't hold back the tears. To me I'm the luckiest man and so grateful to have have him in my life! The best gift I have received in my life is hearing the words..I love you Dad! I still get emotional hearing these words❤

    This song means so much more to me than ever. My youngest Grandson just got a Step Dad. He is so good to him. Unlike his blood Dad.
    He is teaching him so much and they've only been married a month. I love that man too for what he's doing for my Camo and my baby girl. (Camo is my grandsons nickname)
    💞💞💞🙏🙏🙏
    You should react to Brad and Keith Urban collaboration. The song is "Start a Band".

  • @tedharvick9010
    @tedharvick9010 2 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    My folks divorced when I was 10. Mom seemed to make poor choices in men as I got older(either physically or mentally abusive). Not a one did what this song infers. But Dad on the other hand, married a woman that had 1 son of her own. And she never treated my sis and I any different than her own. She may not be blood, but she'd shed hers to protect me. And she'll always be Mom to me.

    When my parent met , my mom had 4 kids , I'm the only kid they had together . Not once did my dad ever refer to them as step children. He raised them just as they were his own. My brother always said, the term stepfather means , a real man steps in and does what the father suppose to do and be .

    🤟🏽🇺🇸
    I tear up every time I hear this song! It brings me back 12 yrs when by daughter was 13 and her Christmas present to me was a stack of papers, confused at first I read the first page I love my stepdad, second page “ I don’t want you to be him!” A little hurt went to page 3, “YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND AND MY REAL DADDY, PLEASE MAKE IT LEGAL”. I broke the F***** down! I’m a no nonsense “spare the whip spoil the child” type of parent and thoughts he kinda hated me for it but she appreciated that I treated her exactly like my biological twin boys. When she graduated law school last year she thanked me and said she would still be lost like most of her old friends if I hadn’t shown her what it takes to be a man as well as taught her “quite blatantly” what men/boys think and what it means to be a high value woman…. Like her mom, my amazing wife!!
    Great reaction as always! My wife and I love you two!

    True story: I was Brad Paisley's driver when he was in Huntsville, AL (a little before he got real famous). He asked me to take him to the local GNC for some vitamins. I asked his how he could walk around in public like we were doing (in a mall). I said, "Don't people recognize you?" He said, "Yea, everyone recognizes me, but they think I'm Jeff Gordon!" .. True story.

    Asia is right, it is not just men. My wife stepped in and raised a 4 and 1 year-old as her own after their mother walked out of our lives. Her unexpected death 4 years ago at, 47 years of age and after 26 years of marriage, crushed my oldest son almost as much as it did me. We all thought we had so much more time.

    • @SummerLove316
      @SummerLove316 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would hope that I could do at least half as well as your late wife (so sorry, she sounds like a very amazing woman) if I was ever blessed with the chance to raise children I didn’t give birth to. I would hope that in the end I would do such a good job that the child/children would miss me just like I was their biological mother & miss/love me the same way.
      I think that having children are a blessing but even more so when you lose the love of your life & are able to see that beloved person’s influence in your children as a way that person lives on in your children. I don’t think my dad would have gotten through losing my mom so tragically when she was still really young.
      Again my best wishes to you & I’m so sad for your loss, she sounds like a truly wonderful woman/mother etc. that you were blessed with 26 wonderful years with, I wish you never had to go through that in the first place. Best wishes to you & your family. 💐

    My dad was one of the men who took on this roll. My mom had five children from a previous marriage. They knew eachother in high school but each went separate ways but met up again years later and started dating. He helped raise my brothers and sisters and then I came along. My sister couldn't wait to call him dad. My oldest brother took awhile to call him dad, but one day he was doing his homework and said "dad, can you help me with this?" My dad was so happy! My father has since passed away but my brother said something during his eulogy that sticks with us all to this day. He said he learned how to be a father to his kids from one and learned what not to do from the other. He was talking first of our dad and then his dad. It's very rare to hear of a man who loved a woman so much that he loved my brothers and sisters as if they were his own. This song is amazing!

    This guts me every time. This year my now-adult children gave my husband a husband a gift engraved:
    “Thank You for being the Dad you didn’t have to be. You didn’t give us life, but life gave us you.”
    Being a stepparent is such an incredibly difficult road to walk at times. Heck, if you’re Christian & think about it… Joseph was the first to selflessly take it on lol😉😊😇 Kudos to all those who make the choice to do the same with a full heart of love & commitment!!!❤️
    THANK Y’ALL for reacting to this!!!
    Brad Paisley ‘Waiting on A Woman’ official video is fantastic if you’ve not done it yet.💖

    I'm almost 66 years old, I lost my "dad that didn't have be" in 1989. Every time I hear this song it makes me cry. I recently discovered through DNA my birth father (who is deceased) as well. I have connected with 2 sisters that I never knew, it has been glorious. Yet my dad was my "dad that didn't have to be." I miss him dearly.

    My son stepped up to be a father to a little boy -Aydin- the real father left him just before he was born. But my son is a great father to him. And also my son found out that he could not have kids but since he did so well taking care of him when he didn't have to, I think God smiled down on them because they're going to have my last grandbaby!!♥️ That will be number 23. Yes 23 grandkids and I love each and every one of them just as much as if they were all really mine. I hope this makes sense to you all. I'm excited and over the moon that they're finally going to have their own baby together also! And Aydin is happy to be having a little sister!!🥰 So this song just means a lot to me! Thank you Brad Paisley for a wonderful song! 🤗 Happy Father's Day to all the ones that stepped up to the plate and took care of little ones! ✅

    I appreciate you guys doing this song. The man that I proudly called my dad passed away may of 2016. And this has always been our song. A month before he passed away I had my 30th birthday and it was a surprise karaoke party. I actually had my mom call my dad in the room and I sang this song while looking at him. And he started crying. We played it during his celebration of life ceremony and I fell apart. I still really enjoy listening to this song.

    That was me. I never wanted children when I was growing up because I didn't think I had it in me to be as good as a mom as my mother was, but I ended up marrying a guy who had a young son. I ended up raising that boy like he was my own and I gave him everything I had. His mom actually would send me a card on Mother's Day. This song always makes me cry.

    I met my husband when my oldest was 3 and we married when he was 5. My son now has 3 children of his own. No matter how many times we tell him we are proud of him for his accomplishments he always says he's only striving to be half the father my husband is. ❤ There are not just good but great men out there! My husband and all 5 of our kids are proof of that! 😁

My dad always said the only steps in our house are the ones that go upstairs. He was an amazing man and my mother was an amazing woman. My brothers and sisters and I were truly blessed to have our parents. Love and miss them so much.

    As a teen they played this song at my Grandfathers funeral. I did not understand why until I became an adult. The man married my Grandmother whom already had 5 kids (3 girls 2 boys). I was never aware that he was not biologically my Grandfather, but I can say he was an incredible man, and you could not ask for a better Grandfather. I can't listen to this song without crying now that I understand why it was played at my Grandfathers funeral. It takes a special kind of person to marry into a...pre-made family and be positive about it with love and not hate. Great reaction.

    I was 32, had 4 kids, ages 3 to 12 and in an abusive marriage. Met a friend that was 21. We fell in love, he got me and the kids out of there and we were married for 25 years til his death in 2014. My kids so loved him. This was their song to David.

    Miss Asia I am honored to agree with your assessment of the lyrics. Men sometimes get forgotten in these situations.

    O absolutely love this song. Had never heard it, had no idea what it was about but its a tear-jerker in a happy way!! That little boy talking about knowing his mother was lonely- putting it on himself that guys saw him and ran. Thats alot on a child. But the difference on his face over something so simple as being included when they all went on the date to rhe movies just changed everything for him! And to see that even while theyre dating that good man is spending time with that boy - not only dating the mother but playing ball in the yard. It just gets you to see the joy on that little biys face. And when he overhears that proposal!! Rhe fact that rather than feel possessive or upset - hes praying shell say yes!!" So sweet!! When he say they went from sonethings missing to a family - it just shows the difference skmeone can make. Even if its not this situation : it, like asia said coukd be a woman stepping in to mother a stepchild, it could be adoptive parents, fister families or even volunteering for big brothers...that give a child that extra he needs to feel like he has a family. And of course that clever heat gripping line - someday i hope im half the dad, that he didnt have to be!! Then your just gone!! Such a great song!! And BJ - if i understood correctly and you stepped up in a similar situation - good for you man! Hats off to you!! And the world needs more men like you!!

    i met my husband 17 years ago, i had a 3 year old and i was pregnant and he stepped up and raised them both and they call him dad... we caught a lot of bs especially since we are an interracial couple but he never let it keep him from being the best dad in the world for OUR children and now they are 20 and 17 and are thriving our son is married and in the military and he gives all dedications to my husband, he says if not for his dad he wouldnt know how to love a woman correctly and he wouldnt have the love for God and he knows his work ethic and his compassion for others and his drive to be the best him would not be like it is if not for his dad....and OUR daughter knows how a woman is supposed to be treated by a man and dont tolerate any BS because she watched her dad treat me like a queen her entire life, and not just me, ALL WOMEN!!!! plus she has him wrapped around her finger, she is definitely a daddies girl... i tear up every time i hear this song an i am so beyond thankful for my husband and all he did for the kids and for me as well, because he didnt have too and it takes a special man to step up to a plate another man done deserted!!! so i just want to say thank you to all the men and women who stepped up and made a difference in the lifes of children and like Asia and BJ said, they did it right and for the right reasons... it literally can change the course of the childrens lifes....

    My "Dad" had 3 children of his own and married my mom who had 2 daughters. We were all around the same age with me being the youngest. I was in pre-school when they met and just celebrated their 40th anniversary. My bio dad has never been in our life so my step dad is the only dad I've known. He has blessed us. Actually his whole family has.bwe were never treated like step children. Never ever.

    The man who became my Daddy married my Mom when I was 17 months. We became an instant family as I acquired a brother 13 years old and a sister 11. As I look at my entire family, we have many who have taken on that role. I had a young lady call me her Work Mom as she felt that closeness so I say FAMILY comes in different ways! Embrace! 💕

    My husband passed away when our son was 9 yrs old.. I met the man I'm still with today 8 months later.. Shane was 10 then and is now 23... He'll be 24 New Year's Eve... and he told me about 2 yrs ago.. Bobby is the only Dad he knows.. and he's a great Dad.. I did it right for my youngest son .. I'm blessed.. I love this man and my youngest son does too.. My older children were adults.. it wasn't about them.. they'd been raised.. If Bobby wouldn't have been their for my child.. we would not have been together .. My Children always come first

    My son is 24. He’s not mine biological. I never adopted him. His CB mother and I divorced when he was 12. I stayed his dad and still took care of him. I’ve never been more proud than to see him as a 24 year old responsible man. Even though his mother hadn’t been there here for him. He still calls me dad. He is still my son.

    Missed the live and also late commenting, but this song always brings me to happy tears. I am the single mom in this video and met my husband of 23 years now when my, now our, daughter was 13 months old. I left her bio father, who I prefer to call her “donor”, when I was 3 months pregnant. He only saw her 10 times during those 13 months, and all 10 visits were initiated by me. When I knew that things were serious between me and my now husband, which happened within a month, I told her donor about it out of respect, his exact words were “let him be her father”, and that’s exactly what happened. He, meaning my husband, is the only dad she’s ever known because her donor never made one attempt to see her after that, and she has no desire to ever meet him. I thank God every single day that he was, and still is, the dad he didn’t have to be! Also, great reaction to this beautiful song!

    Paisley co-wrote "He Didn't Have to Be" with his longtime friend and frequent co-writer, Kelley Lovelace. The tune was based on true events from Lovelace's life: The tunesmith became a stepdad to son McCain Merren when he married his wife, Karen.

    The hardest part about dating a single parent, is having to fall in love with more than one person at a time, but the easy part, is that with a parent, there's a built in capacity for love and if you're oriented that way, it's the easiest, most natural thing in the world.
    I love my girlfriend and my( unbio) daughter; she asked if she could call me dad and I was actually excited.
