These Dads Have Failed At Parenting In Hilarious Ways

There’s a reason why dads are often thought to be silly and fun parents, while moms are the ones who keep the kids alive. Dads appear to live by their own rules, including eating ice cream for breakfast, wearing superman capes to school, and staying up late. They love us, and we, well, we love them exactly as they are. Dads do come up with some exciting ideas, for sure.

Taking Things Too Literally

If you’re a father and your wife assigns you the task of doing your daughter’s hair, you have no option but to panic. You didn’t grow up with long braids, so you’re at a loss for what to do with it. When this father’s wife asked him to put his daughter’s hair in a bun, he took the request too seriously.

The father should have looked up the meaning of putting your hair up in a bun on YouTube. Although this is a genuinely awful inference of the girl’s desires, it is also brilliant. She not only has her hair in a bun, but she also has a snack ready for later. Dads are subspecies of their own.

Biker Baby

This is how the world appears through the gaze of a Harley-Davidson-obsessed father. When this baby’s mother went to work, his father realized it was time to make his son a “member of the gang.” So he tattooed his baby’s arm, tied a scarf around his head, and even gave him a goatee.

Within minutes, the baby had transformed from a naive and immature child to a badass biker. Without hesitation, this baby was greeted warmly into the gang, with no questions asked and no proof of identity required.

Unsurprisingly, this photo drew much attention on the internet and quickly went viral. People thought the baby looked exactly like a biker. It’s unclear what his wife thought of the baby’s new look, but if we were that baby’s mom, we’d appreciate dad’s ability to have fun with his child.

We Feel You, Dad

This happens when a father is entrusted with watching his child for the day. The two have a great deal going on –  the child has vowed not to tell his mother that he is watching television, and the father can get some much-needed rest. Dad can nap all day while his child watches television for hours.

Let’s face it: observing a child is exhausting, and now and then, you need to turn on the television and relax. The father also allowed his son to stack his plush toys on him in his defense. The father and son appear to have been caught in the act by the mom. But we’re curious, who took the photo?

Staying Fit Together

Another shot of the “World’s Best Father.” This dad’s perspective on what it means to become the best father appears to be a bit counter-intuitive to his workout. His daughter is getting the exercise she doesn’t need at an early age, while he is avoiding it by pursuing some fried chicken.

Dave will become a professional chicken wing eater at this rate, while his daughter may become a future cyclist. Given that he is on an exercise bike with a piece of chicken in one hand and some ice cream in the other, you can rest assured that this is just another of Dave’s jokes.

Not Enough Room Inside the Car

When their second child was born, this new family of four had not yet upgraded their vehicle. They realized they didn’t have enough room in the truck for everyone when they piled into the car for their first official family outing.So Dad devised a method of transporting everyone to the store.

Although attaching your son’s wagon to the back of the truck does not appear to be the safest method of transportation, it is pretty amusing. His song is unconcerned, and he is simply enjoying the open road with his juice box.

It appears to be enjoyable, similar to tubing on the pavement. However, if they are moving, some legal consequences are most likely in place.

Photoshop Brilliance

There isn’t much you can’t do with Photoshop these days. We had to share this face swap because it is one of the best. This father captured a photo of himself and his son from a day at the beach. He then switched their faces so that it appeared that his infant son, who has a hairy chest, was holding his tiny father!

Unlike mothers, who typically post-beach day photos on social media, fathers take a different, unusual path. Photos of their son throwing sand around aren’t cutting it. For the picture to be worth sharing, they must add silly drawings or swap faces.

Conclusion

As mothers and fathers, none of us have a clue what we’re doing. When it comes to “parenting,” we’re all just winging it and doing our best. We sometimes make strange, borderline insane, or just plain stupid decisions with our children in our efforts to figure out parenting. And, while we can all admit to the occasional parenting “whoopsie,” dads appear to have a pretty fantastic track record when it comes to epic fails.
