After the video was shared on Reddit, viewers were quick to share
their thoughts on the special video. Some commenters were impressed by
how beautifully Scruggs displayed the passing of time. One viewer noted,
“It’s so weird right? The day you have a kid, they’re an infant who is
the size of your forearm and then boom they’re in high school. Being a
parent is a whirlwind of so many things. I’m happy that this guy took
the time out to be prescient and record some of the things he may have
regretted missing.”

Other Reddit watcher were touched by how open Mackenzie was with her
father throughout the sensitive years. For example, one user wrote,
“Incredibly sweet. I also love that she told her dad she’s looking for
cute boys. It just shows how open and trusting she is with her father.
And how mature and understanding he is, knowing that’s part of high
school, male or female. So many fathers seem to be over protective of
their daughters almost to a fault.”
Most commenters were amazed by the way Mackenzie’s father showed how
quickly time passes. One viewer reflected, “It is weird how it creeps up
on you. It doesn’t feel like all that long ago that I had a house full
of kids running around and it always felt stupid videotaping them. I
remember what they look like, I see them every day, so what is the point
of this again? Fast forward 5-10 years and it’s like “holy crap, where
the hell did the time go? how did they grow THAT much?”. Just a couple
of years ago, my youngest couldn’t be left home alone. Now she is old
enough to take a BABYSITTING course?!”

Whether or not you decide to start videotaping your family and
friends regularly, this video definitely serves as a solid reminder to
