Dads really do live by their own set of rules. They are goofy, sometimes they don’t think through life’s big moments, and they are loving. We combed through thousands of dad fails to find a group of images that perfectly sum up why some dads really need parent training to get through the day. By the time you see these examples of dad fails you will be questioning if men should really be allowed to hang out with their own children unsupervised. From dad built swings to the Cheerios Challenge, there’s no lack of… um… interesting ideas. 1. This Gamer Dad Is Doing It Right Believe it or not, having children doesn’t mean you need to change everything about your life to accommodate them. Kids, especially when they are very young, just want to be held and stay close to their parents. This dad was on bottle duty but he also wanted to play his favorite video game. The only change he had to make in his life was learning how to hold a bottle, a baby, and a video game controller at the same time. Baby looks happy and dad gets to continue playing video games — it’s a win-win situation. Buzzfeed.com 2. The Cheerios Challenge In 2016, the Cheerios Challenge went viral all over the internet. Parents attempted to stack the largest number of Cheerios on their baby’s head while the child was sleeping. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a majority of participants in the Cheerios Challenge were men. This dad fully mastered the art of Cheerio stacking and was proclaimed one of the best in the art form. It may have helped that this little child was able to sleep so soundly without waking up as dad stacked a ton of cereal pieces on its face. Buzzfeed.com 3. A Badass Baby We’ll call this one “The Early Years Of Harley Davidson.” When his wife was at work this dad took it upon himself to give his baby a goatee, a tattoo and a bandana. The baby went from looking like a young little child to a badass biker. The photo went viral and people commented on how much the baby looked like a real biker. We’re not sure if this guy’s wife was amused by the photo but it was definitely a unique way to have fun with their kid. This is why dads shouldn’t be left alone for too long with their children. diply 4. That’s Now How You Dress Them Dad! Jeremy was preparing to send his daughter to daycare when he put her in a pair of overalls and delivered her to her caretakers. When he sent a photo to his wife and explained that the baby was gone for the day, she asked why the child wasn’t wearing a shirt. The dad claimed ignorance and left it at that. This adorable photo and proceeding text conversation caught the eye of Ellen Degeneres. After the photo was shown on daytime TV it went viral and Jeremy’s cluelessness was exposed to millions of people on TV and the internet. Imgur 5. Look At My New Hairstyle! The goofy nature of dads is perfectly highlighted in this adorable set of baby photos. When dad was told to give his baby a bath he jumped into action with some bubble bath hairstyling that went viral. The baby’s mom, Melissa Nas, posted this photo on Imgur and it was viewed millions of times. Dads are awesome at reminding up not to always take life so seriously. Plus, his baby is absolutely adorable and really seemed to be enjoying bath time with daddy. Hopefully, their father also remembered to actually clean them during bathtime. Pinterest.com 6. A Child And A Beer Our sub-heading isn’t as ominous as it sounds. This dad wanted to have some quality time with his child but he also wanted to enjoy a nice cold beer on a hot day. Using some out-of-the-box thinking he devised a simple but effective way to do both. The baby is having fun in its child swing and the dad is getting some rest and relaxation. This is one of the most popular dads fails online but is it really a fail? Dad solved a problem that helped him out and made his kid happy — we consider this a daddy success. Buzzfeed.com 7. Who Needs Disney World With This Dad Around A trip to Disneyland or Disney World can easily cost thousands of dollars. This dad figured out the perfect way to avoid those costs while still giving his kids the time of their lives. We’re not sure if this dad ride will pass federal safety regulations but their kids don’t seem to mind. His wife may not have seen the funny side of this “ride” but the photo has gone viral on several occasions. Dads have their own unique view of the world and that just means their children discover new and exciting ways to try stuff in a different way. viralnova 8. Just A Quick Snack The nurturing nature of fathers. This dad was hungry for a piece of chocolate cake but he was torn between a delicious dessert and a sleeping baby. While a mom may have waited for their child to wake up, this dad turned them into a placeholder for their plate. “The only way my three-day-old daughter would fall asleep. After two hours of carrying her around I got hungry,” he wrote. Dad’s have their own unique way of parenting but sometimes it works out for everyone involved and then there is delicious cake involved. Failblog 9. This Only Took 10 Minutes It doesn’t take long for dad to do something like this with your little bundle of joy. “I leave my husband with the baby for ten minutes,” bemoaned a Reddit user who posted this hilarious photo of her angry-looking infant. We don’t know if this baby photo should be classified as a parenting fail or a hilarious memory this small child will have for the rest of their life. What we do understand is that dads should really have a lot of supervision when interacting with their kids or stuff like this happens and goes viral all over the internet. Buzzfeed.com 10. 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. This is the type of view dads have on the world. Although, we have to admit that this cute little baby head does look exactly like a kiwi. This is one of the tamer “dad fails” we managed to dig up. At the end of the day, there is a good reason to NOT leave dad alone with the kids, especially when the father is a big child themselves and will likely have this type of day with the kiddo. diply 11. A New Way To Carry A Child? There are certain daddy moments that make us question whether certain people should be raising children — this is one of those moments. This dad was in a supermarket when he decided to see if a plunger could be used to pick up his young son. First, the plunger totally worked and the child was lifted off the ground. However, the dad didn’t stop to think whether or not the plunger might leave a mark. he also didn’t consider that the suction might give way and send his son flying hard into the supermarket floor. lifebuzz 12. Proving His Daughter Can Do Anything Dads have a duty to their children to make sure they grow up believing they can do anything they set their mind too. This dad might have gone a little far by having his tiny little daughter push him around in a grocery store cart. We have to hand it to this little girl, she’s really throwing everything she has into pushing her dad and a cart full of food around the grocery store. Dads love to show off their quirky side with their kids and they don’t care who watches them as they offer up their own take on the job of parenting. lifebuzz 13. A Bottle And A Beer When your baby needs a bottle and you really want a beer at the restaurant there is a solution. This dad was so desperate for a cold one that he attached several straws together in an attempt to drink his beverage while his baby was busy drinking from her own bottle. Also acceptable for this act would have been a twisty straw or someone else helping dad drink his beer. Of course, he could have just waited for his daughter to finish eating and then enjoyed his cold beer with a lot less outside of the box thinking. buzzfeed.com 14. This Dad Who Dropped His Daughter In A Foam Pit Dads are often responsible for teaching their children to take chances in life. Whether it’s a chance for a new job or just trying something new, we learn how to move forward in life with help from other parents. This dad was apparently attempting to teach his daughter a lesson about trust — and he failed miserably. Thankfully, they were swinging on a rope in a gym with a foam pit. We’re willing to bet this guys little daughter was a bit more cautious about the decisions she decided to make in the future. diply 15. Baby In A Dresser Drawer If you want to play on the computer and your baby is in desperate need of a nap, you might want to take some advice (or not) from this dad. He prepared a sleeping area in the drawer of his desk. His little child gets to sleep and stay close to dad while he plays on the computer. This dad definitely has a different take on what it means to be a responsible parent but he still manages to keep their child safe. This might be a dad fail in the eyes of some people but everyone is happy and healthy so that’s good enough for us. viralnova 16. This Dad Who Just Doesn’t Get It This dad was shopping with his daughter when he realized there were a few household items that needed to be picked up. Rather than grabbing a shopping cart like any normal parent, he decided to just pile all his food needs on top of his daughter and her stroller. The poor little girl can’t see where she’s going because she’s covered in milk and other household items. Sometimes dads don’t do the best job of thinking things through before they act — this dad proves that point perfectly and it’s hilarious. walmartfails 17. 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
