17 People Who Perfectly Sum Up What Fatherhood Is All About

Raising a child is one of the greatest responsibilities and challenges a person can face, but it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences. A father knows how to share his parental duties with his partner while also taking an equal stand. And sometimes, problems that might arise while bringing up a little human require a dad’s creative solutions.

We at Bright Side wanted to show our appreciation for the dads who are always there when their children need them, even if they have to step out of their comfort zones.

1. “I just delivered our baby in the backseat of the car.”

2. “Dressing up with my daughters took a turn. Meet Jenny (with the blue hair). She’s sweet.”

3. “My wife wants to pursue her career of being a chef, so we decided I would start staying home full-time.”

“This is his face from our first full day together, 7 months old.”

4. “Was playing a video game with my son. My daughter was behind me giggling the whole time. This was the end result... I feel beautiful.”

5. “My guy was headed from the hospital to the parking lot, fully loaded. Godspeed, unknown new dad.”

6. “After 17 foster kids, I now have one I get to keep.”

7. “Making lunch — guess which is mine.”

8. “I built a playground for my kid. Bonus back pain for me.”

9. “After 6 months, I finally found a way to drink my morning coffee in peace.”

10. “Yes, you’re absolutely right — Daddy needs his nails painted.”

11. “I can’t move. She was squirming quite a bit until I put my hand on her.”

12. “My dad hates cats. He just sent me this while babysitting my cat.”

13. “Girls just wanna have fun!”

14. “My daughter painted my nails since Mom had her nails done already.”

15. “When I was 2, I gave my dad a stuffed beluga whale. 18 years later, he still brings it to work with him every day.”

16. “I grew up without a dad. Last week I made the front page of our local paper for being one.”

17. “My dad and I recreated a photo of us from 1995.”
