A father from Oregon became an online hit after sharing a TikTok video of himself building DIY bunkbeds and a cute ‘dream closet’ for his two daughters before the birth of his third daughter.
In a video, he showed how he transformed an old closet into a fancy bedroom space for his daughters. The new closet includes a special spot for getting ready.
“I couldn’t do the whole room and leave the closet like that. Plus I had extra wallpaper, paint, and wood, so it didn’t cost much more just to finish out the room,” he captioned the video.
Mason Smith said he loves seeing his daughters having fun in their new DIY bunkbeds. They like going to sleep, turning on their lights, and telling stories. He’s eager to see them use the small vanity in their closet.
“I have the most amazing family. My wife is my hero and the real MVP of our family. She makes all these fun projects possible. We have been married for 11 years and have three amazing daughters,” Mason told Newsweek.
Mason wanted his daughters’ room to last another seven years after their third daughter was born.
He also wanted to do something special for his older two daughters as their family grew. He hopes his daughters feel loved despite having a new sibling.
Mason is excited to see the memories his daughters will make in their new room.
Mason’s daughters are excited about their new room and can’t stop talking about it. They love showing it off to friends and doing each other’s nails in the mirror.
The video became very popular on TikTok, with over 26 million views and 469,700 likes.
People left kind messages on Mason’s video. One person said every child needs a parent like Mason.
Another joked about wanting to be adopted by him. Someone else said she kept showing the video to her husband for ideas.
Meanwhile, Mason’s DIY bunk beds and closet will make his daughters’ childhood happy.
Happy memories from childhood are important for a child’s brain growth, according to Norman Regional.
A study by the American Psychological Association says people who remember good times, especially with their parents, are healthier, less sad, and get sick less often than adults. This is true for both young and older people.
William J. Chopik, Ph.D., from Michigan State University, noted that these effects did not fade over time, even when participants recalled events up to 50 years ago.
He expected childhood memories to matter less over time. However, they still predicted better physical and mental health in middle and older adulthood.
The way we think about the world comes from our memories. What happens to kids and how they react makes them who they are, often by copying what they see.
Parents are very important, but what we get from our parents also matters. If parents have mental problems, their kids might have them too.
But a good home can help with this. Feeling sad and worried is like having a sick body caused by stress and helped with medicine. Our body and brain work together.
Moreover, making happy memories with your child can make them happier later in life. Good times teach kids about joy, and feeling good helps them enjoy life more.
These happy memories can really help them be happy in the future, says Where Parents Talk.
Overall, having a strong relationship with your kids is the most important thing. If you build a good bond, you and your kids will remember their childhood with love.
This is the best way to make happy memories that will make them happy later in life.
Meanwhile, here’s Mason’s viral video building DIY bunkbeds for her daughters:
@dadsocial Maybe I should have just bought a premade bunkbed… That was a thought I had after I was about half way done, but once I finished the build, I realized it was worth all the work. Plus seeing how much my daughters loved it made it work all the extra work it was. Stay tuned for a couple more fun additions to their room! But I’d love to know what you think, do you like the custom built in bunk beds, or should I have done a premade bed? #bunkbeds #diy #custombeds #dad #bunkbedbuild ♬ Girls Just Want to Have Fun – yourmusic4ever
