We Made Terrible Fighting Robots - TryHards

I like how Tom uses this series as a tax right off to do things he already wants to do. Elliott actually try hards, and Eddie uses it for father son bonding time.

Eddie’s father son bonding makes me so jealous...I wish I had that as a kid. And he reinforces all of his ideas, makes him laugh and doesn’t alienate him. “You’ve done it! We make the car pink! You’re a genius!” Even though it wouldn’t sort things, he still compliments the child’s drawing and reinforces the child with positivity, which is one of the best parenting skills. As well as that, he’s not forcing him on camera for content as such as he’s having fun. It just seems like one of the best upbringings :)
