24 Times Dads Acted So Dramatically When Parenting, Their Kids Just Had To Share It Online
Dear dads, what would we do without you? Who else would make us cringe over your punny jokes and who'd teach us to fix a flat tire? While we all appreciate their endeavors in making our life often less, and sometimes even more miserable, there’s a trait that makes dads very particular with their parenting tactics.
“My dad used to be so dramatic when he would teach me how to do stuff,” tweeted @PrinceHAK33M telling how his pa went into full-on cinema mode as if he was acting in a Hollywood drama. “This might happen, and you better be ready. The elements don’t care about you, son,” the dad said after he woke @PrinceHAK33M to change a tire in the rain.
The tweet immediately went viral with 238.3k likes and counting, and people found the drama king dads a totally relatable phenomenon. So below, we compiled a list with hilarious posts about drama dads, so scroll down, upvote your favorites, and share your stories in the comment section!
Psst! More hilarious posts with dads nailing fatherhood await right here.

To find out about navigating parenting in these crazily uncertain times, Bored Panda reached out to Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce,” which is a professional divorce document preparation service with 20 years of market history.
“A father is not just a breadwinner for the family. He acts as a coach, teacher, friend, protector, and role model when raising a child,” Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce” told Bored Panda.
She explained further: “You see, a child is like a sponge. They absorb everything that they see and hear. Hence, they tend to imitate their parents. For a son, a father is an example of how to interact with others. Therefore, they can adopt not only the character but also the manner of speech.”

I had a "good" dad like that. You end up traumatized from infancy onward by the parental paranoia and boot-camp-style "love".

I think in the long run, I'd have appreciated that. If I had a dime for all the times over the years that my damned tire went flat... could it be during the day? NO! On a DRY day?? No! On a warm day? NO! Always on a night of a cold rainy or snowy bucket of suck! Glad I learned how to deal! LOL

I read somewhere recently that a survey revealed that some huge percent of men aged 30 and younger have never changed a tire, and don't know how to do it if asked. I'm betting the stats for women are no better. My dad taught me to change a tire, replace a battery, change the oil and keep the radiator filled. In the same spirit, I taught my kids to drive in a standard transmission vehicle. Never hurts to be prepared,

I had to change one on a busy dual carriageway with only a 1 meter of hard shoulder at night in drizzly fog. I have a small hydraulic jack and a X tire wrench in my car. Best 50 euros ever spent on car accessories. The jack takes up a bit of space in the boot but god was it helpful that night!! I had half the car in the slow lane and the blown tires was on the front of that side.

Meanwhile, for a girl, her father is like a hero, Natalie argues. For that reason, the father’s role is incredibly important in the upbringing of children and the development of their personalities.
Natalie suggests listening to your children, “and you will notice that they use the exact words as their father. Why is a father like a teacher or coach to us? Remember who taught you how to ride a bike or skateboard. Or with which parent you did the craziest things in childhood. After all, who agreed to have tea with your dolls in the garden?”
On the other hand, “Mothers tend to be very protective of their children, while fathers are ready to give them freedom of action and imagination and take part in this themselves,” Natalie explained.

In addition of telling your teenage son how expensive diapers are, tell him that children shouldn't get babies and teach him about birth control.
Al Cook 4 years ago (edited)
How much are they in America? I don't think they're that expensive where I am. Depending on size, here in Australia it's about AU$30 (approx US$23) for a box of roughly 90 Huggies nappies. You can get cheaper brands for less obviously. I thought the only expensive thing in the States was healthcare?
Vanessa Galvan 4 years ago
It's about the same here. While diapers alone aren't expensive when you start think about $900 a year in diapers, $1,800 a year in formula, and so on kids get expensive

It turns out that the father’s participation influences psychological, intellectual, and gender-role development. “The children often look to their father for a sense of physical and emotional security. That is why it is important to live up to the reputation of a "protector" who will always come to help and teach them how to defend themselves. And we’re not talking about physical fights right now. Violence is bad. We are talking about emotional protection from the negative consequences of some situations,” a certified life coach explained.

My kid has just had to walk home without his shoes from a not very close by friend. He stayed there when the rest of us were leaving. I had no idea he didn't have shoes on. I the evening I was unable to puck him up.
“In most cases, fathers teach us not to dwell on failures and sometimes just laugh at ourselves when we screw up. For example, when a daughter does her first make-up in her life, she has a matryoshka-style instead of gorgeous make-up. The father will give an encouraging pat to his daughter and say, ‘Don't cry; you are always beautiful!’ Children want their fathers to be proud of them. It pushes them to self-improvement, cultivate external and internal strength, and reach new heights.”

Jon Steensen 3 years ago
Where I am from driving on slippery roads is a mandatory lecture before you can get your license. They have a special area where parts of the road is covered in an especially slippery surface and sprayed with water to introduce hydroplaning, and you have to demonstrate that you drive over it in a safe manor. It is quite fun, when done under controled circumstances and in a place where you do not end up in a ditch.

Uncle's are a different kind of dad... I know from experience. Mine crept all the way down the stairs into my cousin's room and flew through the door like a maniac when he figured out we were smoking weed.... Crazy thing is the house was 100 years old, the floors creaked when you farted, nevermind the stairs how loud they were. To this day we think he flew or somehow adapted Spiderman capabilities. Oh... He also took the weed we had and ended up mixing it into his own personal stash.

Natalie argues that when fathers show support, interest, and tenderness towards their children, it significantly affects the social and cognitive development of the kids. “For example, daughters, looking at their fathers, choose their future partners. If the father is a strong, loving man who respects his beloved, the daughter will look for the same personality traits in men when she grows up. On the contrary, looking at their fathers, sons adopt a behavior model to treat women.”

Such a stupid way of looking at things. It's not like you can "train" or "strengthen" your ear-drums. You'll shoot your gun in self defence once in your life time and your ears will be fine, shoot 100 rounds a week for training without ear protection and you'll go deaf. Idiot.

Agree agree with the other posts. While the MF in this case might be technically entirely accurate description its still derogatory to both parents. And in comparison to some of the other posts, getting your lazy butt out of bed at a fairly reasonable hour to do some jobs that would improve the appearance of your home and by extension your neighbourhood as well as some basic maintenance of the home you live in and enjoy that ensures it stays a clean dry safe environment is hardly an evil over the top punishment.
