One very important responsibility of parenting is instilling within your children the belief that they can do anything they put their hearts into. Within reason, that is. You don’t want to give your child false hope or unrealistic beliefs about themselves. This dad seems to have taken things a bit too far when he let his daughter believe that she was strong enough to push him and their cart full of groceries.
The young girl seems to be putting every ounce of effort into the task. We are sure that the dad was just joking around and that the scenario got a bunch of stares and laughs from people passing by. Dads love being quirky with their children, and they don’t really mind if people are looking on as they display their idea of parenting.
Get Your Grades Up, Thomas!
This father from Cleveland, Ohio, found the perfect and, if we say so, the most humiliating way to encourage his son to get his grades up. He was originally supposed to go to the Cavalier's game with his son, but after discovering that his son's grades were down, he decided that Thomas wouldn't be able to join him at the game and would instead be subjected to staying home and studying.
Thomas's dad clearly has a good sense of humor, and we bet he was hoping to get filmed with the sign. Although this probably hurt like salt in a wound for Thomas, it may have worked in teaching a lesson: bad grades mean you don't go to the NBA game, and Dad will make sure to make you the laughingstock of the stadium.
Um, That's Not the Barre
This dad's hilarious photography has made its way all over the internet. The man in the photo is Dave Engledow. He has over 10,000 followers on his Instagram page. He sets up hilarious photos, much like this one, in which he does something quite contrasting from a good father, all the while mocking himself by holding a cup with "The World's Best Father" written across.
In this particular photo, he's in a matching tutu with his daughter, who is attempting to hold up her father's large leg. He's reading the book "Ballet for Dummies' while holding his trademark coffee cup. His daughter is absolutely precious, and something tells us that her dad is actually quite a good dad. She will definitely love having these pictures when she's older.
Just Hanging On
Sometimes you just don't have a choice. Not everybody has a drier. Those who are not fortunate enough to have a machine to dry their laundry are forced to hang all that wet clothing outside. This might result in some logic failures on at least one dad's side:
If the wet things need to be hung to dry, then when your baby wets himself you need to put him out to dry too, right? After all, it's not like the baby needs that time to run errands or do chores or anything. What does a baby even do? Nothing. Just hangs out.
Brilliant
When you're a parent, you figure out all sorts of hacks to things. Take this father, for example, who figured out that a video game controller could be used to play video games and prop up his baby's bottle, and even better, at the same time! When Mom gave Dad some instructions on feeding the baby, she made the mistake of not specifying word-for-word how it should be done. So, the decision-making was left in the father's own hands.
But hey, the father seems to be succeeding in his method, so why take away from his moment? As long as the baby seems happy and full, there isn't anything wrong with the picture. We're sure all you bottle-feeding dads out there are rushing now to try this on your own little one. We'll say it now; we didn't tell you to do it.
