Meet Ralph Content and his adorable son Liam Content. They're from Florida and recently went viral after Ralph tweeted what parenting looks like in his household.
His tweet showed himself playing a video game in one screen and the Disney movie Moana set up in another screen along with the caption: "Being a father is not that hard."
Being a father is not that hard.
Ralph told BuzzFeed News: "I recently bought a PlayStation4 my girlfriend did not approve of. In the living room I’d stay up playing for hours and she did not like that. To compromise I put a smaller TV in the bedroom. I would play Call of Duty, while she watches Grey’s Anatomy. Soon the double TV concept came in handy with my 1-year-old son. Hypnotised by Moana, nothing else mattered. At that moment, we were both so content I decided to take a picture."
The 24-year-old graphic designer said: "I did not expect to go viral, I only have 700 followers. I posted the tweet to share my fatherhood experience. I only expected a few 'awwws' from family and friends."
Parenthood = multitasking.
"I was shocked once my tweet reached 50 likes, and the likes didn’t stop. Soon my notifications flooded with retweets and replies. I wondered what it would be like to have a celebrity's phone for a day. The endless tweets and likes must be exhausting," said Ralph.
As well as finding the responses amusing, the resourceful dad noted how his post was about sharing the positive aspects of parenting.
He added: "The comments from men who have children and who plan to have children impacted me the most. Often we hear of absent fathers and single mothers. I was happy to share a positive message, making being a father cool. I’d retweet responses from men who encourage other men to be good."
The response has included other fathers sharing images of themselves with their children.
