In this digital age, it’s not uncommon to find people engaged in heated debates on the internet. The freedom of expression has given rise to countless arguments and discussions. While some photos and videos tend to divide opinions, they still manage to captivate our attention. At Newsner, we have covered various such topics in the past, and when we stumbled upon an image of a father and his sleeping daughter on a plane, we couldn’t resist sharing it with you.

The picture was initially shared on Reddit by a user named u/therra123, who posted this heartwarming father-daughter moment on the r/MadeMeSmile thread. The image captures a young girl comfortably sleeping in her aisle seat. Instead of resting her head on the uncomfortable armrest, her caring father gently cradled her head in his hand.
The accompanying caption on Reddit read, “This man kept his hand in this position for 45 minutes so his daughter could sleep well.”
While we believe this to be a heartwarming act of fatherly love, not everyone felt the same way. Surprisingly, some Reddit users criticized the father’s actions, suggesting that he could have found a better solution.
The post quickly went viral, receiving over 60,000 upvotes and garnering thousands of comments. Some of the responses included comments like:
“I feel like there’s a better way.”
“Do you not have a towel? It’s the most important thing you can carry.”
“Shows a lack of creative problem solving. Couldn’t he think of a practical solution in 45 minutes?”
“Roll up a hoodie jacket and bam! Insta-pillow. Or here’s a crazy thought: ask a flight attendant for a blanket and pillow.”
On the other hand, many sympathized with the dad and appreciated his sweet gesture. Personally, we find ourselves in that camp too!
