Jokes about men being unable to change a diaper are out, and jokes about fully capable dads are in. Research shows that today’s fathers are more involved than ever before. Modern dads spend 3 times as much quality time with their kids as men just a generation before did. They sure deserve that Father’s Day card.
Bright Side supports dads, whether they be new dads, single dads, or step-dads — so we collected 20 photos of fathers being sweet, competent, and overall cool. And be sure to check the end of the article for the special Disney-esque image!
1. “My son asked me to wear an Elsa dress with him to a Frozen musical.”
2. “He pulled his stool up, grabbed the brush, and started lathering up. He filled my heart with joy.”
3. “Wife tried to shame me on Facebook, but all I feel is proud of my invention.”
4. The fun here is palpable!
5. “I made costumes for our little ones. It felt so great.”
6. “My dad used to take me to feed the buffalo when I was little. We called this guy Big Daddy.”

12. “Let’s build ’puters, Dad.”
13. “2020’s daddy-daughter dance was ’80s-themed. Yes, I’m the only dad that dressed up.”
