Single dad slice of life would make a great anime
Kakushigoto and Usagi Drop are about this
@@Clarexaizabela thank you
Sweetness & Lightning.
Clannad
Not an anime, but Yotsuba&I is a great manga about a single Dad who adopts a girl
What makes me mad is how companies don’t understand the situation and don’t care to learn more. It’s ignorant to not learn about a situation that not many have an understanding of.
The unfortunate thing is most of those bosses mindset are stuck from the 1950s, Japanese bosses are not progressive and don't understand modern society. They still believe men work and the women stay at home to look after their children. It's slowly shifting but Japan still has a long way to go
@@ozzyay9720 True! In my case I worked full time for a Japanese traditional company and while I was pregnant and after giving birth the boss of the company he will always comment you are married why do you work? you don*t need to work you belong to your husband ...and I was surprised since in my country is normal for a pregnant woman to work and when it was the time to update my contract they added so many clauses like I was not allowed to call my kid during work hours and other stupid rules so I gave him back the unsigned contract and I said no thank you I will be gone in 2 weeks.
@@elenad7040 the government is worried about a declining population, yet they make few changes to address the difficulties of having a family. Not very productive. Good for you leaving. I hope you find a better situation.
@@elenad7040 I already hate sexist comments like that, but I hate it most when it’s aimed at mothers. As a teenager being raised by a single African American mom, it’s already hard enough for her to deal with me, but then there’s the society and systematic racism against her. I just can’t stand when people disregard the struggle or situations that other people have.
@@elenad7040 older Japanese male bosses are probably the biggest sexists I have ever come across, the boss I worked for completely insulted my female co-worker because she wasn't capable of doing the job that was given to her and he de-grades her by saying she she shouldn't be working, she should get married, stay at home, get pregnant and have a baby.
Getting divorced or seperated is already an issue but to say you won't take care of your own child. I'll never understand that. Much love to these fathers who didn't abandon their kids and chose them over themselves. I wish there would be more support for them.

I'm living in Japan as a single-father... I really appreciate Nobita making this video. I honestly know how these guys feel being constantly judged and scrutinized...
your profile pic is cute! I wish better future for you and your child ❤
Hace cuanto estás viviendo en Japón?
Yea nice pick
mostly the mother who will get the custody but why in japan is the father who will get the custody？
@@ck-bs2ms in Japan it's usually the mother as well, even if the mother is the one who caused divorce with an affair or child abuse, etc. I think it's mentioned in the video as well 🤔
Being a single dad is difficult. Those men are incredible to do what they do.

When I see single dads loving & caring for their kids, it fills my heart w/so much JOY.
When I see the children of broken families being raised by a single parent, it fills my heart with sadness
@@homuraakemi493 yes, but there are different reasons men become single dads. Not just divorce
I salute all single parents who try their best for their kids.
Im a single dad for more than a decade and my son about to graduate from uni and my daughter will start uni soon. Every where is the same. No support for single dad. The same prejudice even here in malaysia. My reward is to see both my children doing well. So to all single fathers out there, hang on and be strong. Raising your kids will get easier as time goes by.
Delighted to see (read) a touching comment and sharing from a single dad in Malaysia. Im always wondering how you guys (single dads) are doing in Malaysian context. Tq for sharing. From a single mom in KL
Mad respect.
Thank you for all you do.
@@hadzmizahadzami1579 Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply as im quite preoccupied with work.
The colours of life is so beautiful.
Life would be so boring without the ups and downs. Thats the reality of life. Except and embraced the situations with no regrets. Thats my motto. Hey shit happened( excuse my french ) but my childrens means more to me than my own life. I chose to stay single for my children bcos i wanted them to know im here for them till the end of my days and im very proud of them.
My dad is also a single father and take gud care of me and my 2 siblings. Huge respect to him .
I was so moved by Shuhei's story, seeing how close his now-teenage daughter is to him and how much they took care of each other. It was really sad/angry for him when he talked about how other women infantilize their husbands and therefore project that skepticism on him and how he was able to cook, clean, and raise his daughter well.
This was also really annoying for me, but i know what he's talking about. Had to take care of my kids for more than half a year alone. Youngest kid was still in kindergarten at the time. Everyone was either worried or extremely shocked i can cook or do laundry. I mean, how someone could be genuinely shocked that an adult can start washing machine and hang cloth? At that time it felt really insulting for some reason.
@@xellzor Maybe because women usually do all the housework in Japan, so they think men can't do housework. Also, the husband usually doesn't help his wife with housework in Japan.
About the men able to cook, I think the funniest part is that most of the time the person who cooks in restaurants is....a man. So yes, of course, men are able to cook.
Yeah. It's not everytime I see a teenage daughter and her dad get along, no "grr i hate you dad go away" that I often see in commercials about a teenage girl and her dad and it just annoys me.
single parent should be treated equally regarding of their sex
life's a bitch.
"Should be" has no relation to "this is reality. "
Equality is a distant dream.
@@KOUSTAVGUHA Nah fam
REGARDLESS *
There was actually a movie that released on Netflix recently starring Kevin Hart. In the preview he's trying to enter a parenting class where the instructor states that the class is for new mother's. He then states that the sign says parents and that his child doesn't have a mother. It really sets the tone of how dad's are treated when being around their kids, like they're babysitting or doing the mom a favor when it's their responsibility as parents to do these things naturally.
There are more movies and TV shows with MC who is a single/widowed dad while movies/TV shows with MC who is a single mom is not commom and even less common of MC who is a widowed mom. So much gender equality.
@@erika4843 There's also plenty of movies with single mothers trying her best to make life work, just go ask Tyler Perry since he made a few. But truthfully speaking single mothers have a shit load more support, the law is almost entirely on their side unless they are proven to be an unfit mother which is very difficult to do in some states. Being a single parent is sucky, don't need to make a contest out of it.
I’m a Australian single father, thank you for this. Even though I am an Australian single father , everything that you spoke of is the same in Australia.
Kudos to you for raising your child(ren)!
That really irritates me. How can this stuff still go on in this day and age. Humanity hasn’t changed as much as it believes it has. Dads are awesome parents too!
My father in law was a single father with two sons… the only thing better is work was flex but he still developed lots of coping mechanisms that lead to health problems long term because he saw it as having to do it alone and did not reach out for support even if he had need for it. Definitely men are ingrained with too much having to appear strong by themselves. I’m raising a son now and am doing my best to teach him to be emotionally open and be able to be reliant on others or be able to find help if he needs it
Bye we also live in Australia
@@darkreigncometh in the words of Judge Judy: "fathers are not second class citizens"
I believe more should recognize this
As a father (not a single Father) this made me a bit teary eyed. Great video.
Thank you for watching!
Single dads have it just as hard as a single mom. But most won’t agree to it.
Being single dad is way harder because its not their nature to do womans responsibility,dads take care of the needs of the family so they often work more than spend time with the kids
anyways this is my perspective only
@@jplsn3663 womens responsibilities!?? do u live in 1800's?
Single dads have it easier. It’s easier for them to leave the situation if they want and they get much more respect than single mothers.
@Kraze equal? In what? You've watched the video, it's equal for those single fathers? The single mothers have all support in this world, but when it's a single dad no one give a fuck about it! And you'll continue to argue that "these days men and woman are equal"? Bullshit!
@Kraze Equal? Ah yes, truly equal - like fathers having no support structure by society but mothers do. Truly equal.
thank you for this. i recently became a single father (not actually a father) when i took in my sisters kid and adopted him. it has been so difficult, i am 26 but i can barely keep up with him. even in america, i still face those weird looks when i go shopping or to the park. everyone assumes i cannot cook or clean, they assume his mother does all that.
Hi mate, I’m a Aussie Single dad. Good on you for doing what you do. There is no greater calling in life than being a dad. You are outstanding.
If you ever need to chat , vent etc hit me up. I do a lot of social work here in Australia for single dads.
@@BigBearJo i appreciate your offer. i recently did have a sort of meltdown for a night and vented to a friend. everything hit me at once, i am single, 26, and now i have a kid that i never planned for. it sort of halted everything else in my life and hurt a lot of relationships just because i dont have much time anymore. i got past it by remembering us eating popsicles together on the porch a few days before. id give anything up for those kind of moments
@@GildedOnyx I’m a single dad and I also looked after my sisters when my mother died so I get what you’re going through. Mate for your age you are certainly outstanding. It’s normal to be overwhelmed, as I was many times. Look through my TH-cam channel and you will find my discord if you ever need to chat. I’m not asking for you to subscribe to my channel etc, I’m just happy to be here for you and any other single dad. As I know how hard it can be. You’re really gut it does upend your life, however there is a way through this . As you need to be happy too. No cost, everything I do is free. I never imagined in a billion years I’d be a single dad too. Mate it does get been for you and the kids.
Dang I’m 26, single and living with my parents Godspeed with your decision
As a woman I think men should get the same help maybe more when raising their children by themselves. It is not easy regardless of what parent is raising the child. Same thing is happening in the USA as well.
Why maybe more? ( more help than single mothers)
@@terrapinalive6192 more help in the way of classes or support groups for dads.
Some do not know how to deal with girls... such as fixing their hair to when they become women.
Kudos to any single parent. It's not easy. They say it takes a village to raise a child. I believe this.
@@Blondi6731 ???? Men can watch a TH-cam tutorial like everyone else if they don’t know how to fix hair. Wtf. If it’s so hard to understand the opposite sex, then why shouldn’t mothers with boys get extra help too? Women aren’t a different species you know. We aren’t born with special perfect parenting knowledge or instincts. Being a single parent is hard full stop.
@@owayasomething9295 maybe that person meant it more in the sense that there’s usually not a lot of organizations or groups that single dads can reach out to for help. If u think about it, there aren’t a lot of ads for organizations helping single dads compared to single moms. As for organizations that helps both, ads always seems to be promoting the female single parent more than the male single parent.
"since the media tend to only focus on single moms"
Here comes nobita dealing with an untreated subject.
Really nobita I love your channel and content. I tell that on every of your videos but it's not enough haha
One or probably the most educative content about Japan we can find on youtube. You never disappoint, thank you.
I'm honored to hear that!
It kind of makes sense though, don’t you think? In a Japanese context about 1.46 million households are single parent. 2.5% of that is single father households and there is no split-custody system.
@@kylanoble8669 thats too many single parent households. and even if their isn't a legal system for split-custody, the parents should work together to do that themselves. for the sake of themselves and their children.
as a father myself, i must be a part of my child's life. nothing else is acceptable.
@@rokko_fable I mean, yeah, I agree. I was specifically addressing why men are not talked about as much when it comes to single parent households.
@@kylanoble8669 my comment was just kind of general. not refuting anything you said. you do make a good point about why this kind of issue isn't covered or talked about much.
good thing we have Nobita making quality content.
Being a single mom myself, it can be extremely difficult. The point though is being a single parent is hard regardless of being a single dad or mom. I do think though that society tends to lean more to helping a single mothers than a father which is sad. I think it’s extremely brave and extraordinary for a father to raise a child/ children alone because as was said there’s not a lot of programs for single fathers. They do tend to have to work harder to get some sort of support. That being said, I think a father can give as much support as a mother can because being a parent we try to do our best to nurture and raise our child the best we can. I highly respect single parents especially single fathers who took that role to be the best they can be for their child. Not a lot of men that I’ve known would’ve took in that responsibility. Thank you for making such an informative video and I hope through this it will spread awareness and single fathers can get more help as they need it just as much as single mothers.
Please tell these fathers that they’re not alone and what they’re doing is amazing and I’m sure their children not only respect and rely on you, but also have unconditional love because they know that they have a parent that will do anything for them.
Amen! Very well said, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Finally, took like 6 comments to find someone who wasn't being a misandrist. Thank you for actually respecting men.
@yang yin what are you talking about?not a single comment here is misandrist or disrespectful so stop trying to stir up a gender war here
@@yangyin8492 misandry doesent fucking exist
@@cheesegusi it DEFINITELY does.
I pay respect to the single dad who did everything in their power to make sure their child is happy and has a future.
Shout out to single fathers, they're really under appreciated in society. Especially when you consider how hard it is for a man to even gain custody of his kid(s).
I take my hat off to ANY single parent trying to raise a child or children alone!
Hey Nobita!! I really really appreciate your perspective and showcasing different societal issues in Japan. I'm a japanese American living in the US, and I love your videos that show honest and timely issues of Japan.
Thanks for watching!
I actually was being raised by a single father in my early childhood. Even though I am not from Japan, it was still hard for my dad to support us (I have 2 siblings). Germany and most other countries are way behind and dont support single fathers at all. I appreciate all single dads, you are doing a good job!
True. People might think europe is more open minded but thats not really the case. If your parents get a divorce it is often expected in germany that the mother will take care of the child and the court often gives the child to the mother, even if the father would be a better choice. and becoming a single parent in germany leads very likely to poverty. and if one parent does not pay child support, nobody gives a fuck and helps the single mother/father.
Germany? Way behind whom? A handful of European countries? Honestly, if you say something like that you obviously have no idea about conditions in Russia, Balkans, America, Caucasian or Asian countries.
Europe is open minded
But for what thing
My foot
I’m a child of a single parent and it’s been really hard for my mom sometimes to take care of 2 children. But she did it so well, our bound is truly strong, I’m really proud of her. What I like to say: thank you all single parents around the world! You made us who and how we are. Your strength and love is what society have to see, not only the negative stigma being a “single parent”...because after all your are all we got.
Salute to all the single fathers. You’ve sacrificed a lot in order to raise your children properly. I wish them all the good luck.
S U S
It's really unfair how single dad's who are really doing their best are met with such prejudice.
Any single parent really. They have a big challenge in front of them as it is. It's so unecessary to add to their troubles by being prejudiced towards them.
Help them if you can. Give them some praise or words of encouragement if you can't. It's really not that difficult.
Nobita really out there being the voice of the unheard. I got a great deal of respect for you and what you do; and for single fathers. Keep on keeping on, you rock nobita!!
ありがとうございます！
those fathers have my full respect, they are incredible.
Where I’m from, raising a child alone warrants a lot of respect. It’s not easy being a single parent, but the experience of being a dad cannot be put into words.
Early Happy Father’s days to those single dad’s in Japan!
Those dads are amazing and I hope they continue to be just as amazing to their kids. Also Aijyu is so good to her father.
Nobita-san, I don't know anyone else doing the work you are doing. My hat is off to you.
I grew up with both parents, but my mom grew up with a single mother and she also raised 5 of my cousins too when she was a teenager. With a little bit of help from her siblings of course, but mostly its my Mom who took care of them. My Mom had to raise 5 of my cousins because her sister became a teenage Mom and kept on eloping with my uncle and leaving them with my Mom. My 5 cousins see my Mom as their Mom. I can't imagine all the hardships she went through growing up with a single Mom and raising 5 kids....I love and respect my Mom so much! ❤ No matter how many times we argue I'll always love her! ❤
I am glad this young lady went with her father..... the way a woman treats her father shows how she will treat her future husband..
Are you assuming she would want to get married though?
All these fathers are very insightful. Yoshiki's advice to always be open and honest with his kids, even when he's feeling negative emotions, is spot on. I think men in general are taught to bottle things up and never show vulnerability or be open about their struggles, but it's especially so in Japan. So it's honestly refreshing to hear him say that without hesitation. I'm sure his two kids will grow up feeling loved and supported. It looks like the three of them have a very happy family together. :)
Yukito and son in matching leather jackets trying to sneak up on pigeons was the cutest thing ever.
Even in the US this idea of single father is still hard to grasp for a lot of people so I’m glad this topic was touched upon! I think all single parents are superheroes! I’m supporting you!!
I don't think that's only in Japan but every where in the world. We have sessions for women help them get mental support which is VERY rare when it comes to men. Society wants men to be self dependent and be "MEN", but still thinks equality is when men and women are treated equally. Out of context..... I was at an interview a few years back and it was a group discussion round and the topic was women empowerment..... The organizers said they believe in equality and always let the females interviewees go first at which point I asked "even if the male was the first to arrive?" They said yes and I said it sounded more like a privilege than equality..... I didn't clear the round 🤣
That's one of the problem i see in modern talks of "equality" some people been talking about that somehow has been taken a different understanding.
That's so disgusting. I just hate this new wave feminism that is more about stepping on men then helping women
Being a parent is difficult period. The fact that these men took responsibility for their children and sacrifice is amazing. Hopefully Japan’s public policy will catch up soon.
Catch up to what exactly? This isn't only a Japan problem, its a world problem!
Growing up with my dad I didn't really consider how much trouble he went through, I kind of wonder if I would have what it takes to do what he did...
Arigatou Gozaimas Nobita san, your videos are so informative. They are like a mirror through which we can see the Japanese society. Absolutely love your contents. And best of luck to all the single fathers of Japan, you're doing a great job. 🙏❤️
It is the same in America too. There are tons of women's shelter and aid for women but very few for men
why would men need sheltering?
@@cheesegusi hope you are being sarcastic
@@shayon8012 (i am)
There’s men’s shelters where I live maybe it’s just where ur living
The last girl words really touched my heart. That love and warm feeling she has for his father is the best gift and appreciation. It is nice to have someone loving you for who you are and sincerely wish all good things for you
These families give so much positive vibes !!
I have the feeling they are even happier than families with both parents
I definitely can say these fathers all succeeded to be good ones
Beautiful families for a beautiful video ❤️
I feel this single dads so much,
my mother died from cancer and leaved my father with 8 childs.
Now i´m 16 and undertand, how my father felt in this crisis and tries, to offer us a great childhood.
Thank you very much, for making this video.
Regardless of the gender of the caregiver or the circumstances under which they became a single parent, being a single parent is a really hard process. However, Nobita has once again highlighted one of the "hidden" aspects of Japanese society - one that I feel ties in with other issues he has explored, such as rigid gender roles, toxic work culture, and the "shame culture" that causes those who need support to not seek assistance. Each country will have its own particular cultural and social manifestations of these issues - but thank you once again. Nobita, for exploring a subject that deserves to be talked about more.
Single father's are very special .I'm proud of my father he's looked after me alone since I was 7 years old when my mum left .I remember at first I cried every night and made things very. Difficult for him I feel bad for doing that .during that period he tried hard to comfort me and make me happy.I'm 13 now I'm very lucky to have my father a father who's stuck by me through everything good and bad .we still have times where we don't know what to do or if we are doing it right be we have each other .
This is so sad! Single parents should be entitled to the same rights and help whether they are mothers or fathers. There should be no discrimination in this case. Parenting is hard in all cases. I have 3 daughters who grew up with both parents and I know how hard it can be at times, even when there are 2 parents trying to juggle work and home life. Single parenting is very hard for whoever gets to look after the children.
Sounds like being a single parent is hard but also worthwhile as you get to see your child grow up. They're good people for raising them with love.
Single dad or mom are both challenging. You need to have a strong well and determination to raise your child with full of love.
As a single dad myself this does strike home hard. I have been through much hardship as these men have and understand how some times it does get too much.
But our children are the ones that keep us going.
Happy belated father's Day to all fathers out there
So much respect for this fathers. I’m a single mom and I know how difficult this is. they are giving their best 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I just lost hope when my son's father abandoned us... but whenever I see these fathers I think to myself that good men also exist and not all are the same.
Respect for all the single dads out there on this fathers day.
This brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Nobita again for continuing to report unbiased on the facts. Mad respect for all single fathers out there giving love and support to their children.
It makes me so happy to see Nobita shine a light on lesser-known topics like this. Happy early Father's Day!
I have so much respect for these dads. They took a troubling situation and flipped it into something great for them and their kids. That sort of thing takes a lot of willpower and sacrifice. Happy Father’s Day!
I just wanted to say that out of all the TH-cam channels about Japan yours is by far the best. In fact, it’s better than TV series about Japan that I’ve ever seen.
Anywhere being a single Dad is hard.
I've got mine (best Dad ever), but I watch my friends with their children trying to cope with how people treat them, as if men were not up to the task of being a parent alone.
I've heard from one friend he had the cops called on him for taking his son to the local park. It's not fair that fathers are treated like this.
I hope for a future with equal rights when it comes to parenting children, that the father gets as much help and rights if he has to be a single parent. Men need this. Children need this more.
Being a single parent is not something you want to do all alone. The more help and encouragement you can get from other people, the better. I would imagine the worst part of being a single parent is when you get sick. Who is going to do the necessary chores when a bad case of the flu makes you dizzy and weak?
being a single parent is really difficult . I just wanna share that my partner and my sister are single parents, they are working hard just to provide their kids needs. They have difficulties in terms of financially and emotionally support,but then again they can manage all of that.What i appreciate to all single parents is that they are really hardworking in terms of full-filling their kids needs and their future as well. MORE POWER TO ALL SINGLE PARENTS OUT THERE !!! IM PROUD OF YOU.
The father smile. Is look good. Your video. Is. Awesome buddy keep it up
I had both parents growing up. My mom was the practical one,and my UK born father was hopelessly inept at many "female" tasks. He could burn water.
On the other hand, he was my enabler and partner in crime. I appreciate that more now than I did then. It really doesn't matter that he couldn't cook or do laundry or that he never learned. Kids forget that stuff. He kept the washer washing, and the cars running. Better yet, he taught me how to do it. It was the 1960's, and he believed girls could do anything they chose.
He was endearing in his ineptitude. Once he wanted to buy a bathrobe for my mom, and I picked out a fuzzy yellow one. He tried it on in the middle of the store so I could see it.
Kids don't care if the parent only knows how to microwave food. The other intangible stuff is what matters. The dads in the video might not model yellow bathrobes, but they obviously love their kids and that's what those kids will remember in 60 years.
I almost cried in this video I salute all to those hard working and kind hearted fathers out there. Happy Father's Day to all of you. I'm glad you've posted this video because single fathers are as important as single mothers. I'm proud of their hard work and sacrifice.
wow seldom heard of this before. We always hear of single mums but really, we need more awareness on single fathers as well. Equality. Thanks for shedding light on this Nobita.
Excellent video, really hit home as a single father.
Happy father's day to all my fellow dads and keep up the great work.
LMAOO THE KID RUNNING AT 4:56 HAHA SO CUTE !! Great respect to these fathers and others who really love and take care of their family.
Men's problems often aren't talked about as much as women's. Thanks for the video.
yes they are
Nobita coming through and spitting straight up facts. Hitting the tough issues many of us fail to look at and consider properly… well done nobita san, we appreciate your insight in these issues!
This video made me cry a little bit.
Beautiful.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I think the policy should only focus on the situation of people, but not separate by gender. Sometimes, the myth "Men are supposed to work only" in someway create burden and pressure for both female and male. It might applicable in the past, while women education level was low or basically they did not go to school and only stay home to take care family. Nowadays, both men and woman are taking equal effort and investing in study. They can equally work and support each other in financial and parenting. Why this out-of-date myth still exist. It could be one of the reason lead to high divorce rate and low marriage rate in Japan Y.Y. What an unfair for those single dad and the woman neither
The reasons why divorce rates are so damn high is simply the bonding structures are messed up between men and woman and the fact that the expectations of social structures between men and woman are now becoming less natural and more fictionized.
@@arumba7345 I think you are right!
@@deirdremorris9234 it needs reform the family structure today is bad including how each gender view each other needs to change. that my view from what i have seen in my life time.
@@deirdremorris9234 and also no man wants a woman who runs her mouth.
@@arumba7345 In your first comment you said 'social structures between men and women are becoming less natural'. This too I agree with. Women need friends to talk with and discuss paint colours and such. 'Running the mouth'? Are you referring to nagging? To young people I always discuss the nature of Nature. Until they understand and respect that, they wont succeed. Abuse of power has certaintly happened throughout history, but there are millions of loving, wonderful families where Dad is the head of the house. Most people are simply, not practical.
Can we appreciate that he always say thanks at the start so nice
Made me tear up when he thanked his father just incase he was watching.
I love the juxtaposition of the line "But now I'm sure they're fine and they love this dad a lot since we've built a strong trust", with a scene of the daughter throwing an overhand fastball at his face! Great video. And Happy Fathers Day, guys!
hii Nobita, I am from Brazil and have been watching your videos for over 4 years , really love the work that you put in them :)
I appreciate the first guys honesty and openness. He didn’t play coy or the typical Japanese politeness. The good and bad, he let it out for the world to see.
This video deserved way more views. People need to get aware of that in japan and all over the world since lots of places are like that too.. congrats to all those incredibly loving father. I grew up with a single mother so without my dad but even I could feel their fatherly love. They really love their child and it's beautiful
This was so heartbreaking but sweet at the same time. Those dads really love their kids and they're trying their best. It's sad that the support in Japan can't be for "single parents" no matter what their gender is. I especially liked the first dad, who in the end said he presents his emotions to his kids honestly, no matter if they're "positive or negative". Children can respect their parents and still understand that they are human and have issues outside of being a parent. Thank you Nobita. Your videos are always enlightening. I hope things get better for all single parents in Japan sooner rather than later.
At 2:10 I'm already crying. 😭 Salute to all Father's.
This is such a topic of value to discuss. And thank you Nobita for showing us the heartwarming side of single dad families too. I feel that they are really lucky to have their kid or kids, if I may say so. Thank you! ~~
I grew up with my father in Japan. My mom was an Russian woman that my dad got married to who and she eventually went back to Russia when I was around 3. It was just me and him then on. I started noticing how much trouble he was having around around age 7 or so compared to all my friends with a mother and father. As I'm older now (32) I respect how difficult and hard it was on him and yet he still tried to make the best of it just being me and him. We eventually moved to USA because he had a sister (my aunt) here in Atlanta, GA and thought it might be a better life for us. It was an adjustment for all of us but at least we had some extra support. Thank you for bringing attention to this. Take it easy Nobita!
What an eye opening video...thankyou so much for making such a huge effort to produce this. These single dads are just amazing!
I’m a single mom and it’s definitely not easy.
Thank you for sharing the struggles with single dads in Japan!
Congratulations to all the single fathers who do their best to give their children a healthy quality of life. You men are very brave! Most of all please give your children all your love and show them it’s okay to be affectionate with hugs, protect them with all your might, and remember to laugh and be happy. Enjoy your time with your children because they will eventually grow up and move out of your home.
As a mother of a 9 month old myself I'd like to say to any single dad who reads this: you are doing an excellent job. Why? Because you are doing something I could not. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. Taking care of a child is hard. And there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that and I am really sorry you are facing this much prejudice, injustice and other hardships.
Don't doubt yourself thinking a child needs his/her mother's love. Your love is sufficient. Your attention is priceless. There isn't a single parent on earth that is perfect and you shouldn't aspire to be so. You're doing the best you can and that is enough.
This is so wholesome
It's difficult for any father to replace the qualities only a loving and caring mother can have, same as it is hard for any mother to replace the qualities that only a father can have.
Every girl needs a father and every boy needs a mother, to learn and feel specific qualities. Many girls grow up without a father and they become bad people. Many boys grow up without mother and become harsh people with lack of empathy. I'm glad there are so many wonderful expamples to prove me wrong. ☺💙
I was raised by my father. From 11-22 we lived together. He was the best dad I could imagine. Im proud to be his daughter. It made us best friends. Now I am 30 and he is 50. 🙃 love my dad ❤️❤️❤️
I still have a good relationship with my mom but my dad is my hero 🌹
For me, being a “single dad” was very fulfilling. A healthy relationship/marriage with two parents is obviously best for all and the way “nature” intends it... but still being a single parent brings lots of positive things.
Thank you for this. I'm a single dad and these facts hit home for me. I deal with these struggles every single day.
That's an amazing and sweet sentiment to end on. Congratulations to every single father who does the best they can, and makes it work. Your efforts are appreciated! And most importantly, change is coming. I know it's very slow, and much of society is stubbornly standing its ground, but I think it's really important that people get the support they need, regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in.
Single dads are real life superheroes
This video made me feel so bad for my dad, he's been taking care of my brother and I whilst working for 12 years and I don't think I appreciate him enough. This video made me want to help him more because I know my brother and I don't do enough.
4:55 matching outfits father and son 😆 so cute ❤️
Thank you！
Hello Nobita.
Thank you for your videos.
💚 from the wee County in Ireland. 🇮🇪
To every single father who reads this you have my full respect and thank you for beeing a dad in these times I dont see it anywhere greetings from Germany
Nobita, maybe you can create a community for these single dad's? might help them and also their children can meet other kids to play with. Just a idea. thanks for the video.
being apart of a broken family and being stuck with a POS father. This warms my heart for fathers who stood up to the plate for their children. much love
Yes, Thank you to all father out there! You guys are great ❤️
A good man and a good father. His children look happy.
An incredible video, Nobita.
As a single dad, I feel more motivated. I also feel I learned a few things from this. Thank you
I hope that single fathers in Japan try to actively seek out each other to form groups/communities to help each other out. Wouldn't it be cool if they could all hang out together and their kids hang out with each other! I hope you get the support you need guys!
