With Father’s Day coming up, Cadbury’s Buttons have asked us to find out about the everyday shared moments you see between your partner and kids that make you smile.

Is it watching them horse around outdoors? Or seeing them cuddled up on the sofa reading a story? Maybe it’s when you see them do something that makes you realise how alike they are. Whatever the interaction is, let Cadbury’s Buttons know below.

All MNers who post on this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

Note: please feel free to share interactions between your children and your wider family or other adults in their lives.

Standard Insight T&Cs apply

Thanks, and good luck!

Sitting down to dinner together, sharing our stories and jokes from the day

When he's reading stories having cuddles! It melts my heart♥

IonaAilidh11 · 22/05/2016 19:43

listening to them chatting about boys stuff, priceless

I love watching my DS with my DH - he's autistic and struggles around his dad as he is often away with work - but when he is building something (woodwork) DS takes a real interest and it's lovely to watch.

I love watching my husband playing with them they have such a fab time

Ganne1 · 22/05/2016 19:50

I used to love watching my husband and children play on the computer. Sometimes games, sometimes educational, but always fun!

RACHELSMITH45 · 22/05/2016 20:11

My two love doing a bit of gardening with their daddy. Daddy rules our garden and his two little helpers love being daddy's helping hands!

They wait looking out the window waiting to see him come home after work. And run to greet him with huge smiles.

When my son goes to the allotment with hubster to help with weeding or picking crops. They have great conversations about all sorts while they work. What really makes me smile is when the tortoise goes along too for a change of scenery!

shivbrown · 22/05/2016 20:37

Just seeing them together so happy and the love they have for each other, My husband works abroad a lot on aeroplanes so hes away alot so when he is home, the fact he is so shattered from work but still gives our son Joshua the upmost attention is just so lovely to see.

Joshua is the apple of Daddies eye and I am so very lucky to him as the father to my children so blessed x

My husband is forever teasing our teenage daughter . She acts like she hates it but we can tell otherwise, its their thing and it makes me smile everyday.

imposteracademic · 22/05/2016 20:49

Playing together in the park and bike riding. Much more their thing with Daddy than mine (bike riding).

My boyfriend was always great with my son when we were enjoying the great outdoors. He'd always come up with ideas that were loads of fun and messy, like stacking up huge piles of autumn leaves at the top of a muddy hill and then jumping in them and sliding down. I never minded the mess, it was good fun! I wasn't so sure about sliding down the stairs in big cardboard boxes though...!

sammylea80 · 22/05/2016 21:06

Story time, it's so much fun to read together and do the voices :)

Narnianescape · 22/05/2016 21:12

Seeing my partner help my daughter and teach new thing for example gardening

NickyEds · 22/05/2016 21:17

I love watching dp blow raspberries on our 10 month olds tummy.

Cailin7 · 22/05/2016 21:19

out running on the beach with our dog

lhlee62 · 22/05/2016 21:33

My husband works long hours and sometimes only gets home 20-30 minutes before they go to bed. As soon as he walks through the door they smile and run towards him shouting "Daddy". His smile is just as wide as theirs.

feeona123 · 22/05/2016 21:36

Love it when we hear daddy's key in the door, my little girl runs to see him for a huge hug.

compy99 · 22/05/2016 22:21

I love it when we are all huddled together looking at a new book and taking turns to turn the pages

dadshere · 22/05/2016 22:24

When he doesn't know I am watching him reading our angel a story, and he puts on silly voices and pulls silly faces.

Tkw2014 · 22/05/2016 23:03

At the moment I love seeing my OH teaching my son to ride a bike - the trust my son has in his dad is beautiful

CopperPan · 22/05/2016 23:21

My boys are into their gaming, and it's great to see them with DP on the Xbox - I really don't get computer games at all so it's nice to see them both enjoying it and sharing that time together.
