Do you want a good holiday laugh? This “Dadsong” video on the Old Spice YouTube Channel is such a funny way of showing the differences of a relationship between a mother and her son vs. a father and his son. As mothers we our sons are our babies. No matter how old they get we want to keep them close and keep them as little as we can. As a mom of three boys I can tell you this hits the nail on the head pretty good. I cried harder when Johnny turned 10 then when I turned 30. Dad on the other hand was not the biggest fan of the newborn stage but when those feet finally hit the ground he was the first one to let go and trust he could do it on his own.
Since then not much has changed. At 14 Johnny has grown into a, um, grown boy that I can be proud of. I know he’s not a little boy any longer but I think that even when he’s grown with children of his own I’ll always consider him my baby because essentially he is. I do, however, need to realize that he’s growing and changing.
I try to leave most of those talks to Dad. He’s proud of how big he’s become and the older my boys get the closer their relationship grows with their father. As a mom I’m pretty proud of all of them. I know we’re raising our boys right and they’ll later become men we’re proud of too. To help with that uncomfortable passage into manhood as a mom I just slip a bag full of Old Spice products in his room and let him figure out which ones he likes best. I figure since his dad won’t use anything but Old Spice I might as well just start with what I know works.
Santa also likes to share his favorite Old Spice products with him now that Johnny isn’t wishing for a stocking full of hot wheels. Now he fills it with lots of great products from Old Spice like these:
If you have a teen on your shopping list and you’re left scratching your head as to what you should get him just look for Old Spice Gift Sets. It’s everything they need all in one set. They contain deodorant, body wash, body spray, shampoo and more! It’s available in a variety of scents – including new nature-inspired Timber scent. Don’t worry about them getting duplicates because you can never have too many. One for his room, his school bag, sports bag, school locker. High school boys want to make sure they always smell good.

Really cute, they do grow up so fast and yes, i absolutely agree!!
Mine are too young to relate now but I remember my mom acting like that.
I absolutely agree, they grow so fast!!!
That video is totally on track with my family right now! I have 2 teenage sons, one just got his drivers license and the other just left for college this past fall. I want my babies back!
Yes! My oldest is about to be 10 and I can’t believe it.
Yes, I agree. I loved the video – funny but true!
These commercials are oddly funny. Yap, I have 3 who are young men now. Wow …. enjoy them when they are young .. 🙂
Yes I agree and that video was too darned cute!
my son just turned 40,,doesnt seen like it was yesterday he had peach fuzz on his face,,sometimes I cant believe time has flown so fast,,he was late getting married,,at age 36 and now has a 23month old and a 11 month old sons,,he is such a wonderful father,,really hands on with diapering and feedings,,im so proud of him
Kinda.I think kids grow up to fast but Im ready, lol. Out of six kids we have one 17 year old boy still home and Im liking being an empty nester.
I think the Mother is going through Empty Nest Syndrome and she wants her Little Boy Back. I think the Father is ready to let go and have his Son be a man. I can relate to both. It’s like a Tug of War with your emotions. Cute video.
With 3 boys, I completely agree. They have grown up way way too fast.
Oh, I’m not ready yet!
yes I agree I think these commercials are funny
I definitely agree!!
Not there yet with my son, but I can see it being this way. I agree!
I agree. My boys are grown and I still think of them as boys.
I absolutely agree,
I agree – definity
There does not seem to be a real depth to age. Just yesterday they were experiencing that long list of firsts from smiling to crawling to the first tooth coming out. Then it seems like we are blindsided by their heading off to college.
I absolutely agree, and these commercials are my favorite, theyre so funny
Yes, I agree. I think when a boy starts caring what he smells like, he is growing up. But he’ll always be mommy’s boy. Cute video!
Ha funny video. I definitely agree with it.
These commercials are nutty; I love them. Yes I agree…dread when the day comes that I feel like our kids are adults.
So funny! I’m going to be the mom in that video when my little boy grows up… love the part (he needs his toy!) LOL
I agree..my son will always be my boy
I totally agree. They grow up sooo fast and old spice really helps.
yes, completely agree 🙂 the video was cute!
I really agree with this video they grow up so fast
Yes, they do.
yes, I agree!
Yes, I have three stages of boys in my house so I can totally agree. I have a toddler, a 7 yr old who thinks he can use it too (Oh geez leave the house if he sprays it) and of course my 17 yr old who doesn’t go anywhere without it. They grow too quickly, this school year I will be watching my oldest graduate. I just wish there was a freeze button on life.
Yes, I agree. Cute video
Too cute! I do agree.
Considering my four year old has recently forbidden me to refer to him as my baby, i relate 🙁 i love the commercials though. So funny!
Yes I agree! Funny! 🙂 They grow up so fast!
I agree
ROFL! My ds is 21 so I’ve already been there done that! 🙂
