So hey, remember the little issue of that father-daughter dance that Chelsea Houska’s daughter, Aubree, had last season on Teen Mom 2?
Of course you do — it was one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the history of the show.
Last winter, right about this time, Aubree’s school held a special little dance. The girls could bring their fathers, they’d dance together, and it would be so precious.
Aubree got permission to bring both Adam Lind and Cole DeBoer — her real father and, at the time, her soon-to-be stepfather.
As Chelsea was helping Aubree get ready, she asked her why she wanted Cole to come at all, and Aubree adorably answered with “‘Cause he’s my other daddy.”
It was a good thing she felt that way, because when it was time for the dance, Adam didn’t show. He didn’t even call or text, so Cole took Aubree to the dance by himself.
In a later episode, Aubree went to watch Adam do some competitive weight lifting, and she asked him why he didn’t come to the dance.
And instead of apologizing for missing an event that was important to her, instead of acting even a little sorry that he stood her up, he told her that he missed the dance “‘Cause I had to do this.”
Yes, Adam didn’t take Aubree to the dance because he was practicing for his weight lifting competition.
It was a ridiculously sad moment, and unfortunately, it looks like it’s happened again.
Last night, Chelsea posted this photo on Instagram:
And her caption? “Off to the dance.”
So it looks like, once again, Cole stepped up when Adam couldn’t manage to spend one evening being a good father.
And Chelsea’s fans were quick to notice.
“You sure struck gold!” one of them told her. “And Aubree too. She won’t forget Cole’s love for her when her own ‘dad’ couldn’t step up!”
“How sweet,” another wrote. “He’s a good daddy to her. He might as well be her dad. Cause Adam don’t care. Cole is amazing.”
One person pointed out that “Dad isn’t spelled DNA,” and another asked “What kinda guy can sit back and let another man raise his child? Cole is a dream guy, so lucky.”
And they’re right — Cole is obviously a father figure to Aubree, and a great one at that. Chelsea is very, very lucky that she found such an upstanding, attractive guy to step into her little family.
It’s unbelievably sad that Adam can’t pull his head out of his ass long enough to be a good father, but let’s not think about that.
Let’s just look at that sweet picture, go “awww,” and thank goodness that Cole DeBoer exists.
