Mothers get all the tribute –the songs, the poems, and sugar and spice and everything nice; while fathers just get a couple of pictures and the odd ‘I love you dad’ card on Father’s Day. Even though they deserve much more than that!
These underdogs of the parenting world are a very loving and pretty damn cool lot to be honest! Just like at your dad. Hasn’t he always been there for you, cheering you on at every school function and beyond? And then there are his jokes. No matter how lame they might be, they almost never fail to put a smile on your face.
Just like your dad, there are many other fathers all around the world who deserve nothing less than a “Father of the Year” Award! Check out the following 18 of them and you’ll be convinced too!
1. Being a man is not just about building up muscles. It’s about doing little things to make your princess happy!
2. When ‘the son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.’ – Superman.
3. Fathers are equally capable of donning as many roles as the mother. Like being a comfy pillow to their tiny tots, for example!
4. When mommy and daddy exchange roles just because they’re that awesome! Brownie points to the father though.
5. Daddies are expert at multitasking and improvising at the same time. Just at this dad using the stroller as a shopping cart!
6. Want to win the best dressed contest at a Halloween party? Just take a cue from this dad and his “super healthy” costume! Don’t miss the little one!
7. Having a pony of their own is every girl’s dream and this father worked hard to ensure that his princess got one of her own.
8. Looking for expert advice on how to baby sit? Look no further than this dad who can juggle pets and baby at the same time like a pro!
9. Dads are just amazing at “juggling” things aren’t they? Just look at this dad’s awesome juggling skills!
10. Mommies are too protective and even have fun the ‘safe’ way. If you want to have real fun, daddy is the one you should hang out with!
11. Famous dads are the best. Just look at Ryan Reynolds! Could he be any cooler? No, sir.
12. If you don’t know how to strike a pose, trust your father to come up with one for you. A picture truly says much more than a thousand words!
13. Like we said: multitasking. Dads are a pro at it. They can handle anything in the world and still look pretty cool while at it. Like carrying a trolley bag with a daughter on it at the airport.
14. A father is someone who can take you to new heights. Quite literally! Now that’s a high that won’t wear off quickly.
15. Kids are raised in the cocoon of fairytales and pretty white lies so that the world seems like a magical place. But trust a dad to break that illusion with stark honesty. You want the truth kid? Go to your father!
16. Toy guns are the best way to get rid of your daughter’s wobbly milk teeth without worrying about the tears or the tooth fairy. At least according to this father.
Fathers are awesome aren’t they? Even when they make the silliest of mistakes, they never fail to create a happy memory that you will cherish for years to come. Here’s a grand salute to all the fathers out there! You guys are the best!
