An entrepreneur, a techie, and a businessman are a few professional terms that are associated with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. But he takes pride in being a considerate husband of Serena Williams and an immensely proud father of Olympia. But these nurturing feelings came from his own father, who, despite living in underserved conditions, doted on his children. One such incident popped up once again, and Ohanian is yet again in awe of his father.

Furthermore, his own self-control amused him. He wondered about his patience despite being a seven-year-old child. This is what has come to the surface.

The Reddit co-founder is a huge proponent of paid family leave, as mentioned in his column for the New York Times Parenting in 2019. He feels that fathers need to be there for their kids in the early years of their growth. And these values were imbibed in him by his father. Though he could not be there for him, he showed his love and care through the little actions that are surfacing now.

The lead investor of Angel City FC took to Twitter to share one such beautiful memory. He stated, “My dad really kept everything he’s bringing this stuff down to me. Only real ones know that card set in the middle.” Furthermore, he questioned his self-control and stated, “How did I not open them???”
