Dads See The World Differently If you are going to leave dad alone with the kid, there is a really good chance you’ll end up receiving a photo like this in a text message.

Nothing The Tongue Can’t Fix You know many parents hate when you waste food as a kid. They always try and make sure you eat everything you’re given. No food left behind. this dad takes it to the next level and leads by example. The ketchup, that’s right, the condiment happened to fall on his baby’s face ad he disregarded using a napkin. The tongue came out in full effect ready to save that babies face from red 5. The child seems to be unbothered by the whole thing so that is a good sign. It could be that he or she is used to this type of behavior. buzzfeed 18. Don’t Add Your Dad On Facebook Parents are supposed to be embarrassing. That is one thing you can’t change about them or avoid. The likelihood of them saying something or doing something you don’t want to say or do is greatly increased on social media. Just like with anyone online, they always feel it is easier to talk crazy while behind a screen. That means your Facebook posts are not safe. This dad is living proof. His comment was a little suggestive but the daughter was sure to inform everyone that was indeed her dad making that comment. facebook 19. She Needed To Be Cooled Down It was either a hot day or he needed to discipline his daughter with an intense air blow to the face. The other daughter seems to be getting a kick out of this. The one getting the air to the face might either be enjoying it or hating it but you would never be able to tell by her facial expression because it is blown away. Does this look like more of a punishment, a dad doing something wrong or a daughter wanting to have a good time? Whatever the answer we’re sure you’re not supposed to be blowing pressurized air on your daughter. wittyfeed 20. Bonding Time No pants, no problem – the lawn isn’t going to cut itself! Here is a prime example of leading by example. The younger you start them, the better off they are when they grow up. And if this is the backyard then it is completely fine that they do the cutting in the comfort of their underwear as long as no one can see them. But this dad should reconsider his choice of wearing no pants. And are those whitey tighties? Who let him do this? It is probably another one of his children that took the picture and not the wife. lifebuzz 21. Ballet For Dummies This dad seems to be bent on learning ballet for his daughter. A nobleman indeed, but what is he wearing? It looks cute on the daughter but on him, it looks quite menacing. Even with that cup of coffee in his hand as a stretched attempt to save his masculinity, just take a look at his legs. Is he wearing light pink pantyhose? Anything for your princess we supposed, but this is clearly going to be something his friends never let him live down. Well, at least the ones who are not married without children. boredpanda 22. Gaming Is Life We’ve seen a similar dad fail like this earlier but this one is a bit different. It isn’t a selfie and it just showcases the pure skill this dad has in gaming. He is balancing the bottle with the controller while playing one his favorite games and making sure the baby is fed. It is not easy to play games when you can barely move the controller. Try it for yourself. As long as the baby seems content, there is nothing wrong with this image. Except for the fact that if he is playing online and can’t press start, it’ll be harder than usual to get back to the game if he has to attend to the baby. boredpanda 23. Staying Fit This seems to be a bit backward and alarming. The dad has a piece of chicken in one hand and some ice cream it looks like in the other. The child is getting the exercise that she probably doesn’t need at that age and he is skipping out on a workout he probably does need. At first glance, it seems like a good idea and way to get out of a workout but you’re only cheating yourself from your fitness goals! This child might be a future cyclist! There also appears to be some type of soft beverage in the drink holder. boredpanda 24. Baby Road Rage Note to mothers, don’t let dad take the baby out alone very often. Some shenanigans may be going on without your permission but don’t worry, a video or picture was probably taken in order to show you. And once you get that picture, you can either fire him from taking the baby out alone or you can embrace it and make a meme out of it, like this. Hopefully, they are not driving and just parked but you must admit, this is a pretty funny picture. It really looks like the baby is driving a monster truck ready to smash over smaller cars with that facial expression. themetapicture 25. This Is Unfortunate We may have said the last picture was probably the biggest fail but we have the right to retract that statement. After seeing this, this little girl would rather be anywhere else in the world than sitting in that chair right now. Anything can happen at any moment that leaves this poor girl scarred forever. She already can’t erase the image of his crack out her memory because this is on the internet and it will not live forever. If that dad ate the wrong foods prior to this and happens to let one go, consider this the biggest fail. failblog Credits: giveitlove.com Share this story on Facebook with your friends
