Spread the love

Dads have a special way of showing love, sometimes loud and goofy, sometimes quiet and steady, but always memorable, whether it’s a corny joke delivered with total confidence, a lunchbox note slipped in just because, or staying up late to help with a school project they barely understand.

We’ve gathered some of the cutest pictures of dads being downright wholesome. So prepare to shed some tears, get comfortable, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own thoughts, experiences and stories in the comments below.

#7 Protecting My Kid From Absent Minds

Nobody ever thinks that they’ll make this mistake – with my ADHD I’m gonna be proactive about it.
We’re all fried. The day we brought him home I left the hose running for four hours. Sometimes I’m so concerned with his needs that I forget to eat.
Putting this on my arm when we’re driving and storing it on the car seat when we’re not offers me peace of mind.

#19 Witnessed A Beautiful Moment Watching Bluey At The Cinema

Here in the UK (not sure about the rest of the world) there has been a screening of a compilation of Bluey episodes in Reel cinemas across the country. I took my 4yo daughter and witnessed the most amazing moment I may ever see.
The intro music began, usual calling out ‘mum’, ‘dad’, ‘bingo’, then as it would usually sing ‘Bluey!’…. it didn’t. It was extended and a bunch of other characters joined in with the dancing. This isnt the moment though. Every single kid was pointing out loudly ‘oh, it’s different’ and collectively, 100 parents told their child to shush because they needed to hear it myself included. It’s like we said it in unison, realised we are all as sad as each other and all laughed. It was very special.

#38 Why Losing Weight As A Parent Is Important

1 year ago today, after seeing the photo on the left, I realised the small but very powerful reason why I needed to get back on track ❤️

It took me another three months to fully pull myself out of the mess I’d got myself into, but better late than never! 😂

We all say our children are our everything (and I’m no different!), but let’s be honest – life gets in the way.

We’re busy juggling work, socialising, stressing over bills, and just trying to keep everything together.

But to our kids? We are their entire world. Every smile, every tear, every moment – we’re at the centre of it all.

If someone depends on you, you have a responsibility to them.

A responsibility to live long enough to watch them become who they’re meant to be.

To be there to kick a ball around, or to help them practice their gymnastics moves.

To show them, by example, how to live a full and healthy life so that one day, they can do the same.

Do them a favour – live long enough to see them have their own children one day.

That’s the greatest gift you can give them.

Dropped the little guy off at his first day of daycare. The emotions are more intense then I was prepared for. I know this is what is right for our family, but it hurts. Please tell me it gets easier. I miss him already.
