Only a Dad Could Parent Like This
Parenthood isn’t easy, children can be a handful sometimes. All parents need to work hard to make sure their kid doesn’t get into trouble, but dads have a particularly funny way of doing it. Some fathers combine a sense of humor with out-of-the-box thinking to come up with hilarious parenting hacks! On the flip side, there are clueless dads who end up in awkward situations that mom can only laugh at. Either way, there’s a certain brand of funny that dads possess. They might be geniuses, but you might want to think twice before replicating any of these parenting methods.
We’ve collected the funniest dad moments from around the web for you to enjoy!
64. Dad’s Asleep
You can only imagine the mom’s surprised when she caught her exhausted husband sleeping on the floor. How could you not take a picture before shaking him awake? We don’t know what it takes to get this kid to bed, but apparently, it isn’t very easy. It definitely wore this man out, he didn’t even make it to his room!
64. Dad’s Asleep
Better wake him up and get him to the bed asap, otherwise, he’s going to wake up with carpet marks all over his face. We hope this girl grows up knowing what a dedicated father she had. From the looks of her bedroom, she lives like a little princess!
63. Not So Fun Ride
This poor girl was probably too embarrassed to tell her dad to pull his pants up. She rode like this the entire time and just wished they would get to their destination quickly. The dad should’ve felt a breeze, but he was too focused on riding. Unless this guy is a plumber, we can’t say this is acceptable. Plumbers have gotten a pass at having their pants hang too low, but everyone else needs to wear them properly.
63. Not So Fun Ride
We hope this isn’t an everyday occurrence. The girl looks like she’d rather be anywhere else but there. A fun bicycle ride with dad is now a memory she wishes to erase from her brain forever. Next time she’ll bring a blindfold, just in case.
62. In the Lead for Dad of the Year Award
This dad actually deserves to win Dad of the Year. Even if his idea is probably going to take a major toll on his back and shoulders, he was willing to do literally anything to give his daughter a good time on a swing. You can see the look of pure glee on her face now that she finally has her own personal swing set.
62. In the Lead for Dad of the Year Award
This is probably one of the only dad ideas on this list that benefits the kid over the parents. We think that this dad definitely deserves to be treated to a Swedish massage for all his dedication!
61. Pin Art With Your Baby’s Face
This dad caught a glimpse of this pin art toy while he was at the store with his baby. The inner child in him was probably overtaken by curiosity, and he just had to see what would happen when he put it on the kid’s face. Well, when mom is away there’s so much you can do to entertain yourself.
61. Pin Art With Your Baby’s Face
Plus it’s easier to get away with dad shenanigans when she’s not around! We’re not sure that this is the safest way to play with your baby, seems like it could be a major safety hazard. But the kid still looks like he’s smiling, maybe the other side is soft and baby-friendly.
60. Potty Training Fail
There are a few methods parents can use to show their little one how to do their business. But this dad decided that he wanted junior to figure it out on his own. Eventually, the toddler decided to put it on his head. Oops, it actually goes on your other end, kiddo. He sure doesn’t look very happy about it!
60. Potty Training Fail
And what did this father do instead of helping their tearful kid out? Took a few pictures to share online. Nice one dad. We’re just joshing, it’s not all that bad. Kids cry over all kinds of crazy things, they’ll probably grow up to laugh at this photo in the future.
59. Put Your iPad Down
Maybe da thought it was okay to look away for a second, but his kid was a little faster than he thought! He must be raising a mini version of The Flash. It just goes to show that you can’t peel your eyes away from the little one, even for a moment. They seem to have a talent when it comes to getting away.
59. Put your iPad Down
By the looks of it, mom came home to this sight and took a picture for evidence. You can bet this guy got chewed out for taking his attention away from the baby. At least the kid is in the same room!
58. Not How the Baby Carrier Works
This guy’s wife asked him to prepare the luggage for their trip, little did she know he was going to put their baby in one of those bags! This is a pretty funny joke, but we seriously hope this is not the place where he usually puts the baby. We’re not sure you can check any baggage that has a tiny human inside.
58. Not How the Baby Carrier Works
His wife took it rather well. At least, she found it funny enough to take a few photos and share them on Instagram. As silly as this was, we hope dad eventually learned how a proper baby carrier works. This isn’t it!
57. What Are Kids For If Not To Help?
What’s the point of having kids if you can’t ask them to do things for you? It’s too good of an opportunity to pass up! Most kids love to be involved and help out. Once they reach a certain age, they learn that they have free will and don’t have to say yes to everything. But until then they’re happy to comply with their parents’ requests.
57. What Are Kids For If Not To Help?
These three adorable children are such good helpers. They’re patiently waiting for their dad to finish his video game so that they can assist him with whatever he may need. They’re equipped with all the essentials too! We hope he let them play some games after they’ve been so obedient.
56. “I Wonder What’ll Happen If I Do THIS”
Instead of having a normal day with their kid, this dad wanted to try something new. Every day he changes their baby’s diaper, feeds them, and puts them to bed. That routine was starting to get a little mundane. Fulfilling his dad duties wasn’t quite enough. He wanted to spend some time getting to know his baby a little better.
56. “I Wonder What’ll Happen If I Do THIS”
What better way to bond with your kid than to squish their face? You can’t say you’ve had an experience quite like this with anyone but dad. This kid will grow up describing their childhood with fond memories of their father massaging their entire head for no reason. It felt nice, but it was completely unnecessary.
55. Clothes Shopping With Dad
When you’re a kid it’s fun to go shopping, and when it’s with dad you know he won’t care what kind of clothes you’ll pick out as long as you like them. We’re sure that this little girl was a fan of the all-silver look with the bucket hat. Though we’re not sure her mom will let her wear it to school!
55. Clothes Shopping With Dad
We can only imagine what her reaction was when she saw her little girl decked out in this dated look. This dad’s fashion sense definitely needs some working on. Until then, maybe mom should be the one who takes the girl to buy new threads.
54. Watermelon Baby
What do you do when you have a leftover watermelon rind? Well, this dad thought that it was the perfect size to make a little helmet for his baby. And we gotta admit, it does fit him perfectly! The kid certainly seems to be totally thrilled with her new headgear. Glad this shtick could entertain the baby as well as the parent.
54. Watermelon Baby
She almost looks like a little superhero wearing a disguise. Maybe she’ll develop some kind of fruit-related superpowers one day. And she’ll be known as Watermelon Girl, saving the world from the pain and strife that comes with cutting and cubing watermelons!
53. Too Cheap to Invest in a Baby Seat
This dad wanted to fix his morning coffee, but also needed to make sure his baby didn’t run off and cause any mischief. A pretty relatable scenario for any parent with a young child at home. However, most parents would opt for a baby seat or a playpen. Not this dad! He has his own way of doing things
53. Too Cheap to Invest in a Baby Seat
Maybe he was too cheap to get real baby equipment to keep his infant from wandering around. He thought it’d be a better idea to take the shirt off his own back and use it to tie his baby to the chair. A great way to show off your gym gains, not the best way to deal with your child.
52. Playing with the Kids and Grabbing Some Shut Eye
This dad needed to keep his kids busy for a couple of hours. But he was clearly too exhausted to do anything except lie down. This was his creative way of entertaining his two kids while catching a nap at the same time. And he can even imagine he’s getting a massage!
52. Playing with the Kids and Grabbing Some Shut-Eye
Seems like a pretty smart idea for a shirt, are they being printed and sold in stores? If so, we can think of a handful of dads who would love to get their hands on it! Just be sure to throw in the toy cars along with it, make it a full package.
51. How to Not Mix Up Your Identical Twins
Now, this is an ingenious idea that’s also pretty hilarious. This parent must’ve had a few mishaps andy mixed up their identical twins. There had to be some way to tell the two apart. Their solution? Not color-coded clothes, they went much further than that. They actually shaved numbers into the heads of their two babies!
51. How to Not Mix Up Your Identical Twins
We guess it has to be a lot easier than shaving their names into their hair unless their names are literally one and two. It takes a pretty steady hand, and a pretty calm baby, to achieve this feat. Maybe he did it once they were asleep. Luckily babies don’t care about their appearance, so these two won’t complain.
50. When Mom Leaves The House
This parent really didn’t think this through. When mom had to leave the house for some errands, dad wasn’t sure how to stop the baby from crawling around the house. He had no other choice than tying him to the bedpost. It definitely prevents the kid from getting lost in the house, but surely there are more elegant methods of doing that.
50. When Mom Leaves The House
It might look funny for a moment, but keeping them tied like that is just mean. This is definitely not the way to stop ’em from crawling. You’ve got to actually be in the room to keep an eye on them!
49. When Dad’s a Big National Geographic Fan
It was dad’s turn to feed the baby, but clearly, he was not able to get out of his comfy chair, or even sit up! Maybe he was watching too much National Geographic and got some inspiration from the monkeys. Our primate friends are quite adept with their feet, maybe dad wanted to test out his own foot skills.
49. When Dad’s a Big National Geographic Fan
As impressive as this feat (get it?) is, I do not think it’s a particularly clean way of feeding your baby. Mom probably walked in on this sight and was in total shock. We’re also guessing that she’s not going to have dad feed the baby again until he learns to do it with his hands!
48. When Mom Leaves The Baby With Dad
Dads are always looking for ways to have fun with their kids. This dad didn’t just stop at adding funny eyebrows to his baby’s face, he had to include a mustache as well! We must say, the facial hair really suits him. It makes him look like a miniature mafioso, or perhaps a supervillain.
48. When Mom Leaves The Baby With Dad
One day he can grow one of his own and see if it looks just as good. After fashioning his kid’s new facial hair and snapping a photo, we bet he was quoting lines from the Godfather to his baby the rest of the day. Hey kid, he’s gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.
47. Baby Not For Sale
This is great marketing! Garage sales are rarely what you hope they’ll be. You make the effort to put out all your belongings and end up disappointed at the end of the day when they aren’t sold. This dad was probably tasked with getting rid of a few things, but he knew how tough the market was.
47. Baby Not For Sale
Most people see things off the side of the road but they don’t even look twice. Once it’s out on the street, it’s like trash. Adding the baby into the mix makes it a little more surprising. Now people will consider looking around to see if they may need something. Hopefully, people understood this was a joke and didn’t call CPS!
46. Headfirst In The Sand
This baby had his first trip to the beach, and the discovery of sand was absolutely awe-inspiring to him. He was so excited that he just needed to dip his face into it. Without any time to react, his parents immediately snapped to share on Instagram. We’re sure the next thing they did was wipe his face off!
46. Headfirst In The Sand
This baby looks pretty satisfied with his accomplishment, even with all that sand on his face. We’re sure that his parents will keep a closer eye on him during the next beach visit, it sure would save them a lot of mess to clean. Their kid certainly has some weird impulses that they’ll have to control!
45. In a Hurry? Use the Baby Scooter!
Need to get somewhere in a hurry but can’t leave your baby home alone? Well, this dad has certainly got an invention that addresses both of those problems! Unfortunately, we’re not sure if this would pass health and safety regulations, so don’t expect it to be manufactured for the public anytime soon.
45. In a Hurry? Use the Baby Scooter!
We’re not sure if the movement is conducive to the baby’s mental state, we’d venture to guess that the kid burst out crying as soon as dad passed the mile per hour mark on that scooter. Better call a babysitter next time you need to spontaneously leave the house!
44. Surely a Mouse Pad Can’t Be THAT Expensive!
Now there are cheap parents and then there are dads like this one here. Maybe computer equipment can get a little pricey, but there’s really no reason to use your baby as a mousepad! Surely a book or another surface would suffice, this just seems unnecessary. Though maybe this is his way of keeping an eye on his kid while browsing the web?
44. Surely a Mouse Pad Can’t Be THAT Expensive!
We highly doubt that mom’s going to like what she sees when she gets home. At the very least we hope that the infant was still watched over, and doesn’t develop any deep-seated fears of computers after this experience.
43. That’s Some Good Suction!
Sometimes you don’t have a choice but to take your children with you on your errands. There’s no time to find a babysitter and you have to make the best out of the situation. Taking kids to stores can be a nightmare, but this dad made it fun for his kid. He got to test the product he was about to buy while his kid went on a quick ride!
43. That’s Some Good Suction!
We’re sure this kid went home and told his mom immediately. Kids are always eager to tell everyone about their shenanigans with dad. Also, whatever plunger this is, they should be proud of their product. If it’s strong enough to hold a small child it’s bound to get the job done.
42. Innovation At Its Finest
If there’s a will, there’s a way! This dad is too busy to hold his baby for an hour while they eat. He has other, more pressing matters to attend to. This banana solution is perfect for any parent who wants to multitask. The bananas aren’t only holding up the bottle, but they’re also keeping the baby in place!
42. Innovation At Its Finest
You don’t have to worry about them falling off the bed. Who knew bananas could be such great babysitters? Parents would save a ton of money if they knew about this trick earlier. There’s no need for an extra set of hands when a bundle of bananas does the job of two people!
41. Ready For His First Job Interview
This baby is interviewing for the very important role of an emotional support agent. His job is to make sure that his parents are always feeling okay, and test them by doing ridiculous things to see how they handle it. It seems like he’s perfect for the job! He’s dressed to impress and is ready to tackle any task that comes his way.
41. Ready For His First Job Interview
He should show this photo to any future employer, it proves his ambition started at a young age. Most people can say they started working in their teens, but this smart baby got a super-duper head start. The best part about hiring a baby is that you can pay for them with toys and food!
40. They Don’t Seem To Have The Same Sense Of Humor
If you’re confused by this photo, you’re not alone. At first, it looks like this dad dressed his kids up for Halloween, but once you look at the details, you understand this was just dress-up for fun. These two unhappy babies are dressed as Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar. They’re characters from a movie called Wayne’s World that was popular in the early 90s.
40. They Don’t Seem To Have The Same Sense Of Humor
The new generation of kids doesn’t quite relate to or like the old-school films and comedy style. That’s why these babies don’t appreciate the artistry. If these were 90s babies, they wouldn’t get so upset over some wigs and ripped jeans. The dad who did this was only trying to teach them what real comedy is.
39. They’ll Always Be Big Babies
To your parents, you’ll always be a baby, and this photo is a great example of that. It’s nice to see that even after you grow up, your dad will be there to support you. Drinking beer is just not as fun if your dad isn’t holding the bottle for you. This new dad is probably thrilled to get a sip of beer after staying up all night with his daughter.
39. They’ll Always Be Big Babies
He couldn’t remember the last time someone held a bottle to his mouth. Maybe sometimes he’ll go over to his dad’s house, lay on the couch, and ask him to feed him. Not because he can’t do it himself, but because he misses those days. No one warns you before becoming an adult that your parents would stop doing things for you.
38. Just Use a Napkin Next Time!
Looks like this dad got caught in the act of licking ketchup off his baby’s face, gross! Seems like it would have been a better idea to sit down and eat his sandwich a little more neatly, maybe then he wouldn’t have to deal with messes like these. Then again, kids usually keep you on your toes, maybe this was his only chance to grab a quick bite.
38. Just Use a Napkin Next Time!
We think the more appropriate response here would have been to simply get a napkin and wipe the ketchup off his kid’s face. Although, it’s certainly better than grabbing a french fry and scooping it off! At least the baby doesn’t seem to care, but we bet his mom wasn’t thrilled when she saw this picture.
37. A Very Confused Dog
This dog woke up from a nap and found three little friends in his cage! He looks around and sees their dad standing there and laughing…suddenly everything made sense. Even the dog knows that dad has a weird sense of humor. They never spend normal days playing games or doing homework.
37. A Very Confused Dog
These girls seem to be excited about the fact that they all fit in the cage. They probably bet their dad they could fit all at once, and they won! Normally a parent wouldn’t even entertain such a silly thing, but this dad had no problem saying “yes” to this harmless and hilarious challenge.
36. A Ponytail Was Definitely Attempted
This isn’t a bad idea when you need to tie up your little girl’s hair, but have no regular scrunchies. Then again, it’s going to be a pain getting that out of her hair if you don’t have a pair of scissors handy. That’s why it’s always good to equip yourself with a variety of hair accessories.
36. A Ponytail Was Definitely Attempted
If your daughter has a full head of hair it’s time to stock up on hair ties, scrunchies, hair clips, and maybe even a travel-sized hairbrush. This dad definitely took a trip to the accessories store after resorting to this Macgyver method. Mom probably laughed hysterically when she saw this.
35. Getting Him an Early Start with the ‘Stache
This father couldn’t wait to find out whether his son would share his facial hair genes. He needed that resemblance pronto. Slapping his most identifying feature right on his baby’s face was definitely a funny idea. Now every time this baby has his pacifier in his mouth people will comment, “Hey, your baby looks just like you!”
35. Getting Him an Early Start with the ‘Stache
Maybe one day this kid will grow up and grow a glorious mustache just like his father. But for now, this is going to have to be the best option. Plus, it doubles as a pacifier to keep the little tyke from crying. Rock on, mustache baby!
34. I Don’t Think this Invention Will Catch On
We just know the person who invented this was one of those lazy yet creative dads. This is totally something a father would think up when he noticed that the floors are a little dusty. “Hey, honey! What if we used junior to sweep the floor? He crawls around on it all day anyway!” It might be ingenuity, but we don’t think it’s going to work in practice!
34. I Don’t Think this Invention Will Catch On
We’re not sure I can get behind the idea of turning your baby into a human Roomba, but clearly, someone thought it was brilliant enough to bring to life. These might not stock the shelves at Toys R Us, but we bet someone out there bought it.
33. Dad Makes Bath Time Fun
How do you make bath time with the baby a little more entertaining? Obviously, the answer is to take all those soap suds and fashion them into beards and hair for your tot! This dad clearly had a blast styling bubbles on his baby’s face, and taking a bunch of photos of his work! He’s always going to volunteer for bath duty from now on.
33. Dad Makes Bath Time Fun
But we have to mention, maybe this dad should spend a little more time actually bathing his child instead of taking these funny photos. As amusing as they are, this is definitely not what bath time is supposed to be for!
32. No Table Needed
That’s one serene baby! She looks like she’s in a very deep sleep. Somehow this photo sums up fatherhood. There’s no way that a mother would ever consider using her child as a table. This baby looks completely at peace, so there’s nothing wrong with her dad using the opportunity to grab a snack.
32. No Table Needed
If he set her down, she might wake up, so it’s probably best that he decided to keep her in his arms. While this may look ridiculous, it also appears to be quite comfortable for the baby! Maybe other parents should adopt this technique while trying to get their kids to go to sleep.
31. Teaching ‘Em Young
This dad with a sense of humor knows how to spend his time right. He didn’t want to bombard his kid with nonsense on TV. He figured he’d let them absorb something a little more educational. Instead of learning the ABCs, they were going to learn how to rule the world. Their dad has very high expectations for them. He won’t settle for his kid being shy and unproductive.
31. Teaching ‘Em Young
There’s no better time to teach your child the skills needed to dominate the world. Maybe this baby will retain information from the book as they grow older. Watch out, world! This baby is going to take over someday
30. Gamer Dad’s Can’t Step Away from the Screen
Just like the other gamer dad, you can’t just sit around all day playing video games while you’re caring for a baby. It’s just not the way things are done, but then again, it does make for a pretty hilarious photo. The dad looks pretty engrossed in his game, and the baby even appears to be taking an interest!
30. Gamer Dad’s Can’t Step Away from the Screen
There’s going to be a whole generation of babies out there who spent their early years watching their dads play video games. We wonder what those babies grow up to be like. Maybe they will be the biggest game addicts of them all!
29. Wire Controlled Baby Swing
Another dad coming up with creative solutions when watching over his kid. He invented a wire contraption that allows him to push his kid on the swing while sitting on his favorite chair and drinking beer. That’s what we call lazy yet inventive parenting! Though maybe lazy is a harsh word…
29. Wire Controlled Baby Swing
Let’s cut dad some slack, maybe he had been on his feet all day and just wanted to rest. This is definitely a contraption for people who don’t want to get up, and it seems to be working well! The kid gets to enjoy the swing while dad relaxes. Maybe he should patent and sell this invention to parents everywhere.
28. Because We Didn’t Already Know
Parenting is not only tough, it’s confusing. Sometimes when you have more than one child things get a bit chaotic. This dad wanted to make sure he would never get lost in the mess. He labeled everything properly so that it would be impossible to make any mistakes. This baby is blissfully unaware of how silly her dad is being. She’s going to wake up to an overly enthusiastic parent and have no idea what occurred when she was sleeping.
28. Because We Didn’t Already Know
Maybe this household has a bunch of fake but realistic-looking dolls, so labeling their real baby is an excellent solution. We’re not here to judge, whatever works! That being said, mom wouldn’t need to do this.
27. He Just Doesn’t Like Wearing Pumpkin
This little baby was dressed for Fall. However, it’s pretty clear he isn’t a fan of the season or his new outfit. Maybe mom and dad thought this little pumpkin costume looked super adorable, but we think that the baby has a very different opinion. Better get that thing off of him before you’ll have to deal with a full-blown temper tantrum!
27. He Just Doesn’t Like Wearing Pumpkin
At the very least they were able to snap a quick photo of their kid before the tears started streaming. We guess that after this ordeal that baby will grow up to absolutely despise pumpkins. He’s going to carve his jack-o-lanterns out of pineapples from now on.
26. Not Ready For this
You’ve all been there. When you’re in the pool and your dad spontaneously throws you around, it sounds like a whole lot of fun but the result isn’t always what you’d expect. Kids usually beg their dads to horse around with them, but sometimes forget the strength that they possess. We hope this kid is ready to make a major splash! But ready or not, be prepared to face the water.
26. Not Ready For this
This kid’s face says it all, he was just not prepared for this kind of pool shenanigans. As long as he’s alright it’s all that matters. Next time maybe dad will be a little bit more gentle.
25. No Days Off!
If you thought that all dads were pushovers, you’d be wrong. These three boys learned a hard lesson in discipline when they had to spend all day and all night with their dad at home. They were stuck at home without the option of leaving, and their dad took it as the perfect opportunity to teach them everything he wanted to but never had the time to.
25. No Days Off!
Some families play games and watch movies together, but this family sat down and did homework. The dad didn’t want to waste one minute doing things that weren’t bettering their education. These kids don’t know it, but their dad is doing them a huge favor! Knowledge is power!
24. That Dad Who Can’t Say No
When dad is with the kids, he’ll do anything to get them to stop nagging. His peace of mind is important, so if he has to put on a Chewbacca costume to make his kids stop crying, he’ll do it. He doesn’t care if people stare or laugh at him on the street, because all that matters is that his kids are happy.
24. That Dad Who Can’t Say No
If his kids asked him to make the Chewbacca noise he’d do it. Why? Because it means no crying. When kids cry, overly stressed parents end up wanting to pull their hair out. They’ll avoid having to hear that noise at all costs.
23. Major Baby Carrier Fail
Baby carriers are one of the most useful inventions for parents. It allows them to keep their baby close and frees up both hands at the same time. But looks like this dad is still trying to get the hang of it! Don’t worry dude, you’ll figure it out soon enough…we hope so for your sake!
23. Major Baby Carrier Fail
His kid seems pretty amused by the whole ordeal, even dad thought it was funny enough to snap a photo and share online. Better call in mom for a little help fastening that thing on your torso. It’s not going to be very useful tied up the way it is now!
22. He Looks Just Like His Dad!
Looks like dad really wants his kid to grow up to be just like him, and he’s not going to waste any time waiting! No, he wants to get his baby to resemble his father as soon as possible, and if that means breaking out the eyeliner then so be it. He even managed to get Junior a matching shirt.
22. He Looks Just Like His Dad!
Maybe dad was feeling a little insecure that his kid looked a lot more like his mom, and this was his way of rectifying that situation. We’re not so sure how well this will go over with the baby’s mom, but it sure makes a great photo!
21. Don’t Give Your Kid a DIY Haircut!
Here’s a good tip in case you have or are planning on having, kids. Do NOT under any circumstances try and cut their hair yourself! Unless you are a hairdresser or have practiced to the point where you’re basically a pro, you’re running the risk of ending up with a haircut disaster like this. That is, unless this was done intentionally for a Halloween costume. We’re not sure which is the better scenario!
21. Don’t Give Your Kid a DIY Haircut!
This little boy probably looks a whole lot more like this grandfather than his father! Better just go ahead and shave the rest of his head, otherwise, people are going to start wondering if this boy is another Benjamin Button.
20. Hey, Didn’t I See that Baby on the Jersey Shore?
We have no idea what kind of dad this baby has, but he’s definitely got some makeup skills! He did a pretty good job on the kid’s face, he actually looks like a 35-year-old with a five o’clock shadow. However, we don’t know how believable the abs are.
20. Hey, Didn’t I See that Baby on the Jersey Shore?
We’re not sure what possessed this dad to make his kid look like a cast member of the Jersey Shore, we guess it must have been sheer boredom! He better washes all that makeup off before mom gets home and freaks out. Though she might notice the picture after it’s been posted on Facebook.
19. Coco Pops On the Floor
The older a child gets the more curious they become about the contents of the kitchen cupboard, among many other things. This sweet girl just wanted to have some morning cereal, her mom was out and her dad looked away for just a second. She ended up searching the cabinet and dropping it all on the floor.
19. Coco Pops On the Floor
Mom is going to be super annoyed if that isn’t cleaned up by the time she’s home. Don’t worry, a quick sweep should fix it right up. And after this, dad learned not to put cereal where his toddler can find it. Better slap a childproof lock on that cabinet!
18. Should’ve Taken Him to the Potty Earlier!
If you’ve ever dealt with young children you are probably aware of how many icky accidents can occur with them. From spitting up on your shirt to tracking mud all over the floor, kids can be super messy. But this photo here? It totally wins “grossest photo of the year” in our book!
18. Should’ve Taken Him to the Potty Earlier!
Seems like he should’ve taken his kid to one more bathroom break before hoisting him up on his shoulders. We wonder how long it took this dad to realize what had happened, that’s gotta be traumatizing. Hopefully, there’s a store nearby where he can buy a clean one, and clean off the kiddo in a bathroom.
17. Teaching Her the Value of Hard Work
Now this dad is definitely trying to teach his daughter a lesson about hard work, though we’re not too confident in his teaching methods! It’s pretty impractical, there’s no way that little girl is going to be able to move her dad PLUS the cart full of groceries at a reasonable pace. They’re going to be trailing around for hours.
17. Teaching Her the Value of Hard Work
We’re sure that heads were turning in that grocery store, that’s definitely not a sight that you see every day! But it’s definitely a total dad moment, bet all the moms in the store were rolling their eyes and giving their husbands the death glare.
16. The Never Ending Plague of Dad Jokes
There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to get something out of your dad and being blocked by the nefarious dad joke. And there’s no other dad joke more prevalent than this one! It can literally be used in any situation, and it’s been known to irritate children of all ages.
16. The Never Ending Plague of Dad Jokes
“Dad I’m sick,” will garner the response “Hi sick, I’m dad!” Is there nothing these fathers can take seriously? Will there never be an end to these frustrating dad jokes? We hope this kid eventually found some food to handle his hunger because his dad is clearly not here to help him!
15. Dad Was Clearly Not Awake When He Did This
We don’t know what was going through this dad’s head when this happened. Either he wasn’t paying attention or he was so tired he didn’t realize that he put two of his baby’s legs in one pant! It looks pretty ridiculous. We’re just surprised that the fabric was stretchy enough to fit that way.

Now instead of having a regular baby, he has some kind of weird maid baby with a single tail instead of two. How are you going to explain this one to the missus? Better take the pants off and try it again before someone notices!
14.When Dads Entertain Themselves
Well, this is the definition of “A picture is worth a thousand words”. This dad here has decided it’ll be funny to add a Kiwi next to his baby’s head, highlighting the similarity between the two of them. We have to admit, they do look quite alike! Be careful, you might end up losing this kid in the produce aisle.
14. When Dads Entertain Themselves
Luckily for the dad, it looks like this baby was asleep, otherwise, it may have been a bit of a struggle to get this incredible photo. It’s definitely an amusing one, and it makes us wonder what other types of product you could dress him up as. The more challenging the better!
13. Gamer Dad
So this happened while mom was not at home. But she still came back in time to catch her hubby up to some of his gaming shenanigans. You know what they say, once a gamer always a gamer. Seems like he’s playing Call Of Duty which is a seriously violent game, what kind of lessons is Junior going to take away from this?
13. Gamer Dad
Maybe he’s trying to get the kid started on gaming at a young age? Although this is all very cute, it’s not the best for a little baby to be standing in front of a screen for so long. The two of them need to get some sunlight ASAP.
12. Better Make a Quick Run Down to the Mattress Store
Here’s another case of a dad coming up with a creative way to keep his kids occupied. Mom said the kids need to stay in bed? Well, technically that’s what they’re doing right now! We bet this dad feels pretty clever to have found this loophole.
12. Better Make a Quick Run Down to the Mattress Store
But we doubt that mom was particularly impressed! She must’ve had a good laugh at this sight, at the very least. We hope this was a mattress they had lying around, not the one that they sleep on. That wouldn’t have been very sanitary, if that’s the case they might need to throw this one out and buy a new one!
11. “Dad, Put My Hair In A Bun”
Ok, this dad took his daughter’s hairstyle request just a little too literally. When she asked, “Dad, can you put my hair in a bun?” he clearly didn’t understand what she wanted him to do. He took an actual bun and put it in his daughter’s hair. We are speechless at this absolute monster of a dad joke.
11. “Dad, Put My Hair In A Bun”
Dad’s who learn how to do their kid’s hair are absolute superstars. We hope this father figured it out after messing around, otherwise, he’s going to have a very belligerent little girl to deal with. Here’s a tip; you can’t go wrong with a high ponytail with a big colorful scrunchie!
10. When It’s Time For Dad To Choose An Outfit
Jeremy here was definitely late for daycare or he just wanted to speed up the process of putting on clothes on his baby. Another possible case scenario is that he just lacks some basic fashion sense. As you can see this baby was wearing overalls without a shirt on, which the mom noticed as soon as she got the picture!
10. When It’s Time For Dad To Choose An Outfit
This little baby doesn’t seem to notice that she’s missing a vital piece of her outfit, she’s just happy to get some attention. Dad’s probably feeling a little sheepish about his mishap, but at least it makes for a funny photo and story!
9. The Lazy Shopper
When you have a kid that still requires a stroller, grocery shopping can get a bit tricky. You need to think about how you’re going to carry them and also collect the things you need. Some stores have shopping carts that are suited for toddlers, but not every kid wants to sit in there.
9. The Lazy Shopper
This dad figured he wouldn’t try convincing his kid, he’d just use the stroller instead! This isn’t the most convenient way to shop, but he made it work. We’re sure the kid was happy to be in his seat sleeping. We can imagine him waking up and throwing a major temper tantrum in the middle of the store!
8. Ready To Teach Preschool
No, this is not a Halloween costume. Dad decided that it was funny to send his boy to school looking like this. The kid seems to be okay with the whole thing, but he doesn’t know any better. We’re sure he’s going to grow up and rag on his dad for thinking this was a good idea. This is a sure way to get odd looks from your friends.
8. Ready To Teach Preschool
His teachers probably looked at their calendars to make sure they didn’t miss anything. Maybe this boy was allowed to teach class that day. You dress up like a professional and you have the privilege to stand in front of the class and teach.
7. Dad Skills At Their Finest
When you’re a parent, the possibilities are endless when your kid goes to sleep. Most parents take the opportunity to do some laundry, wash the dishes, or even sleep, but not this dad. He had no chores to deal with, when his kid fell asleep he was bored! He tried to think of a good way to spend his time and this is what he came up with.
7. Dad Skills At Their Finest
He was going to see how many Cheerios he could stack on his kid’s face without him waking up. This is a pretty risky challenge. One slight movement and all your work goes down the drain. The dad managed to snap a photo before the tower collapsed. That kid must’ve been exhausted!
6. Giddy Up!
When you’re trying to keep your kid entertained you’ll think up any possible idea. This dad was probably watching his daughter when he realized she looked a little bored. He saw the dog around in the living room and figured they wouldn’t mind joining in on the fun. After all, isn’t that the best thing about raising your kid alongside a pet?
6. Giddy Up!
The smile on his daughter’s face made it all worth it. Even if the pup was a bit confused, we’re sure he didn’t mind pretending to be a horse for a quick minute. He’s just glad that dad only put the baby on his back!
5. Embarrassing Your Daughter on a Walk
Don’t want your kid to get lost? The best solution is to either hold their hand or have them walk where you can easily see them. This dad had a different solution in mind, one his daughter definitely does not seem to be fond of. It looks like he just repurposed one of the accessories they use to walk the dog.
5. Embarrassing Your Daughter on a Walk
At the very least you can get one of those backpacks that come with a rope you can hold onto, those are a little less degrading! But a dog leash? We totally get why this daughter is standing still in protest, that’s just embarrassing!
4. Are You My Father?
This looks like the fastest Halloween costume ever, only we’re guessing it wasn’t taken on Halloween! Dad probably wanted to have a little bit of fun with his baby and thought it would be entertaining to slip a Darth Vader mask over his chubby face. “You are my father!” should be this little baby’s first words.
4. Are You My Father?
But first, an important question, can your baby breathe in that thing? Also, how comfortable is it for him? Seems like he’d start crying after a few seconds of wearing this thing. Most kids are afraid of the dark, and we’re guessing this headgear doesn’t come equipped with a nightlight!
3. Baby Brows
Looks like dad got a little bored when babysitting one evening. That is until he came up with a brilliant idea to entertain himself, and also take an absolutely hilarious photo to share online. Why don’t babies have crazy eyebrows like these? It makes their faces a whole lot more expressive, which in turn would make their portraits hilarious!
3. Baby Brows
Maybe this will be a parenting trend that will catch on. But then again, we’re not sure how good it is to put makeup on sensitive baby skin. This is alright for just the one photo, but let’s not make it a regular thing. Instagram filters might be the better way to go.
2. Baby Crepe Face is a Little Creepy
We totally facepalmed after look at this ridiculous photo, it’s just too ridiculous not to laugh and shake your head at the same time. That’s definitely a creative way to make your baby smile, and as long as the kid enjoyed it it’s fine. We’re sure if the kid was crying he wouldn’t have taken the photo in the first place.
2. Baby Crepe Face is a Little Creepy
However, we’re also sure the mom didn’t let this photoshoot happen more than once, not on her watch anyway. Just 1 question, did anyone eat that pancake after it was on the baby’s face, or was it thrown out? We hope it was the latter!
1. Baby Driver
This dad just couldn’t wait to give his kid driving lessons. He was driving with the baby in the backseat, and thought it was the perfect learning opportunity. Instead of having to wait till the kid was 16 or 17, why not teach them to drive now? There’s no better time than the present, they say. Apparently, the dad knew what he was talking about because this baby looks like a pro.
1. Baby Driver
They have their game face on and are ready to face the mighty road. Driving brings out the worst in some people, so they’re practicing their road rage face. They’re not a fan of yelling, but the face is enough to get their frustration out.
