Darn, life can be so unfair but this dad is doing the greatest raising his daughter on his own.

[@vivianworden2706]

This father is a treasure.

[@vivianworden2706]

It's not because he's an accountant that he's acting without emotion. He's been through so much and probably has no one to lean on. He's weathering a silent storm every day. 😢

[@megalopolis2015]

I hope that he has a network of friends and church fellows that he can rely on heavily at times, so he doesn't have to hold everything up by himself all of the time.

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Of course he feels pain but he also has that quirky accountant personality. That isn’t a bad thing.

[@katcihealer]

It is good to prepare for a rainy day, and even more rainy days. But at some point you have to stop worrying , and stop to smell the roses along the way.

[@signalfire15]

I work in the CPA industry in NYC. You’re not missing anything bud. Take your 40 hour work weeks and enjoy your life.

[@btzega]

Such an honorable man and the way he spoke about his wife❤️‍🩹💛

[@openhearts5000]

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Omar. Thank you for giving shelter to this man in his hard times. Thank you for strengthening him, and inspiring him to show up in such a brave way for his little girl. May he be abundantly blessed in your Kingdom and may we all be inspired by his heroic actions. May we all have a heart and trust in You, Lord, like he does. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

[@AKR892]

How blessed she is to have you as a father Omar. I would do anything to have had a father like you. Your ex wife is smiling down beaming with pride.

[@chloerosenberg2198]

My goodness, my heart goes out to Omar, what a man.

[@tacooflove6175]

😂 teaching relationships to accountants is so hard 🤣 🤣 😂

[@instahamx684]

Tell him in plain English before he ruins the beautiful life he has designed for him and his daughter: He has done everything “right” and now he is on overdrive, going 10,000 miles an hour in his mind, worried about demonstrating absolute parenting perfection and there is no such thing. He has set everything up as perfectly as it can be set up. It’s time to relax and know that he is a competent person who has prepared as well as a human being can and stop competing with all the parents in the world and worrying he can’t grab and hold on to and cram every single opportunity on earth that exists, into his daughter’s piggy bank, in case his daughter wants everything on earth one day. He is an exhausting perfectionist robot who needs to learn how to breathe like a human being. He needs to relax and learn to have fun and not worry about all the credentials and check boxes that don’t really matter anyway. He is exhausting. He needs to get in rhythm with nature, his brain is corporate trained madness.

[@MessagesFromAurora]

agree. emotional connection matters

[@MarieZ17833]

He needs to take a breath and just let go and listen.

[@Jlcdb71816]

This guy is a gem. ❤

[@MChronicler]

I just teared up when Dr said he's done such a good job. I can only imagine what he went though, but when I hear that from someone I would bawl out

[@labrigful]

Amazing father!

[@kalleyminnick14]

What an amazing person, your daughter is so blessed to have you. May God bless you beyond your understanding. Your wife is smiling down at you.

[@amde8554]

Man this one brought out the waterworks

[@CrystalM1917]

Idk, i feel like he is wanting to pursue more in his career bc he wants to see how far HE could go(nothing wrong with that) , which is probably what he was intending to do before his wife passed as she would likely have taken up most of the childcare....he's already prepared well for her future. Why not make it clear bc I wasn't sure exactly what he was asking?

[@labrigful]

Yeah, the issue is had was never addressed

[@ithinkigottalent4047]

What an awesome dad ❤❤❤

[@1952sami]

Dr John. U r the best!,,

[@simoneXox]

My heart ❤❤❤

[@dabd8175]

Decent father. Definitely putting too much expectations on this kid.

[@VanJR.]

Decent father? How so?

[@michaelallen1154]

@@VanJR. Dude is already talking about "medical school" for a 10 year old girl.

[@mimimonster]

@@michaelallen1154 I actually took it that he funded her college so much she could go to medical school if she so chose. Possibly it’s not a guy who already decided his little girl’s career is.

[@dabd8175]

@@mimimonster oh yea the very settle "Hey am saving money just in case u decide to medical school baby no pressure tho" to a child 😂.

[@jennyberger6688]

Omar we need more men like you! Please women understand how amazing you deserve and how men are what help us strive for better.

[@joeriveracomedy]

Woody Allen wants to be Omar when he grows up

[@sharonamadi8656]

his daughter is soooo lucky!!!

[@EmpressMermaid]

Believe me, this girl will be happier living a modest but comfortable life with her dad an active presence in her life than she would if he was working 80 hours weeks and thet were rich but he was absent. I think he's happier, too. I'm glad he didn't also do what many in this situation do and marry the first woman who comes along under the misguided notion that he needs to give the kid a new mom. (And before anyone comes at me here, yes, women do this, too and it's not good on them, either)

[@dolphinbear661]

Omar is funny!

[@FreeSpirit47]

A few things for this father to keep in mind is that his daughter is totally dependent on him, now. Most parents, if they love their child or children, will sacrifice so much for them. However, there are no guarantees that when she becomes an adult, becomes financially independent that she will realize his sacrifice, that she will still love him, come home for the holidays or even keep in touch through in person visits, phone calls, letter, cards, emails. There is a high level of estrangement of children when they become adults. She may even resent him for taking her out of her country of birth, her culture at birth. These are aspects to consider. It happens. It rhymes with "it".

[@Anniefawesome]

I think he wants to work. I think you should if you want to. Get a part time job if it makes you ou Happy.

[@hannah51238]

Lucky girl

[@NeuroSeasoned]

Glad he called out Omar for constantly listing "accomplishments." The caller has a weird vibe of grandiosity and fake humility going on. But I don't think he's aware that he comes across as manipulative. There's likely insecurity underneath it. The way he constantly compliments Dr Deloney, it's like he's asking for his absent father's approval.

[@anniem2777]

He could also be a people pleaser. There could be many reasons for his behaviour

[@crazycatladyjo2688]

He needs a vacation, seems very high anxiety.

[@kimberlydickson9266]

I really can’t stand it when John brushes aside the hope people truly have in Christ and following Him. Every time this guy quoted a verse John was quick to speak over him and move quickly to something else. When he was sharing how He was given grace for this difficult thing, John basically just bulldozed him and went on to something else. I know John claims to be a Christian, but it’s super weird when he seems to deliberately want to squash any mention of it during these calls.

[@QueenTeaaa]

He’s not Christian that’s why. Neither is Dave Ramsey! You will know them by there fruit. John is of the world. He’s good at probability… most people have issues and he uses the same lines in most of these episodes.

[@Melivisiona]

I wouldn't wish this guy on anyone. I don't really feel any love coming through for the little girl. He is just doing right by her financially and with experiences. She will sense the resentment. So very sad.

[@megalopolis2015]

I think in many ways he is Loving with her, but at times is goal-oriented, and doesn't want to lose what he has. While he could acquire a communication skill or two, and learn to let some things go now and then, this daughter appears to have it pretty good.

[@Wealth_Wisdom_Discernment]

I kinda felt the same way. He didn’t seem like he really loved her, just had to teach her all the lessons

[@J3llyBean423]

AVP sweet / what's going I think I know .../ /

[@LadyMarigoldWithers]

Hmm, I’m getting some really creepy vibes off this guy. I could be wrong, but I’m not usually.

[@kellyturner4571]

Yeah, I agree. He’s odd.

[@CrystalM1917]

I mean yeah and no...I think he was nervous and in some ppl they become chatty cathies.

[@joesillamanrs7189]

He’s an religious accountant from Jordan. He’s gonna be off on personality

[@vtvincent4893]

It's great his faith has helped him, but I think he needs to turn it down a notch.

[@dhritikapoor2897]

Me too . I didn’t want to write this but there was something about him that put me off

[@scratch57]

The victory laps John runs for him aren’t useful. Give him credit where it’s due but he wants to know where to improve. Remarry so she has a mom. Give her a sibling so she’s not a poorly socialized and selfish only child. Get the career you want so you have professional fulfillment.

[@erinfriesen5087]

How is John so creepy!! When he drops his voice!! Good grief
