If you've ever been on parenting duty, you know that it's a rollercoaster in the truest sense. Little ones start to bawl, things break, and suddenly you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. But then a dad joke comes along and you know that everything will be alright.
Fathers are wonderful creatures. Sure, they're sometimes charmingly lackadaisical. But they inspire entire TV shows and a whole different approach to parenthood for a reason. Moms don't get how they manage. Nobody does, except the wonderful weirdos that are the dads of our world. The 'Life of Dad' Instagram page has been on the mission to "celebrate the adventures of fatherhood" for a while now, and so Bored Panda handpicked the pinnacle of dad memes from the page for you to chuckle at.

Aw, he/she has blind faith in the awesomeness of his/her sibling. That is cute. But maybe step in before they make the first flight attempt!
I wish I could have done this for my dad :( He sustained a catastrophic brain injury when I was 18 and was bedridden/near-vegetative for 20+ years. He died in 2021. I was the only one in my family who stayed at his bedside the night he died, and I was able to hold his hand as he went. But I sure wish I could have at least poured a beer into his feeding tube!
forgot to say when you wake up from a four hour nap & your toddler is gone lol
Mine sleeps like this when we allow him in our bed AND FARTS. I mean chemichal weapon farts.
And how often they knew perfectly well that you were lying.
If I was playing with the older controllers maybe but the new ones have too many buttons. I was really looking forward to annihilating my kid in Super Smash Bros. I used to be darn near unbeatable but apparently I don't have the brain capacity to learn how the switch controllers work.
😂 I mean understandable. Subway is not exactly food, it’s more like having a mistake made in front of you.
Aw, but I LOVE socks. I have a drawer full of crazy socks. I'm 41, I figured it's finally my time to dress like I want to XD Socks should be a thing of joy for all!
It’s all the couch’s fault in my house. And gravity is an accomplice. All family members are innocent bystanders in the whodunnit mystery of “where did the remote go?”

I really wish the ones who hate kids would not comment in every single picture "that's why I don't have kids :))", "omg kids are gross" and stuff like that. If you don't want to have kids, don't have them- but stop being a mean a**hole towards everyone who does. It's really childish to boast on your quality of life, like do you think some of us have never had a proper sleep or something, in our entire lives? :D
I’m here to say: THIS is why I admire parents! I don’t know how you do it, I’m in awe and happy to help whenever possible.
A lot of times it's just being there for the child and remembering that they are little versions of yourself and your spouse mixed into one being. Both sides are warring inside the child to become the dominant personality in a great anime battle in their minds.....
Thank you for saying this.
These posts are really for the folks who do have kids anyway.
i hate being a stereotype.
