Parenting is like an abstract painting that’s very beautiful even in the eyes of ordinary people. You don’t have to have an artist’s eye to understand the beauty of it’s day to day mess. Did you know that the most like photos online are of animals, bikini-clad women, and babies?
You probably know that because your feed is flooded with cute animals and babies, right?
Well, it’s about to get even cuter because, after this post, you’d be following this dad and his princesses on Instagram. He posts photos of his day to day parenting life and the world is loving it!
His photos get between about 20k – 50k likes and his videos get more than 100k views! Does he know how to work his social media or what?
If you don’t know who I’m talking about, then read on.
Parenting According to This Dad’s Instagram Account
Meet Simon Hooper from London. He’s a father of four daughters all under the age of ten. Imagine the hectic life he lives!
His life is hectic and busy balancing a full-time job as a consultant for a U.S. based company and being a full-time father and husband.
He shares the realistic yet funny side of parenting on his very well received Instagram account, @father_of_daughters, in hopes to bring humor to what seems to be a harrowing journey.
“In general, my whole account is to show a realistic view of what parenting is like from a parent’s perspective. There is way too much sugar coating when it comes to parents, so I wanted to share what it’s really like and provide a bit of humor at the same time.” -Via Huff Post
Simon also shared that despite having twins on top of a 9-year old and a 6-year old, they’re pretty much like every parent.
“Everyone is dealing with the same issues in this journey called parenting.”
And with the horrors parenting comes with, it wouldn’t hurt to drizzle it with a little bit of character, a pinch of positive attitude and a whole lot of humor.
This week my eldest has been doing sex education at school. Shes very mature about it & having a midwife as a mum, they know a lot more than your average kid, no ‘front bottoms’ or ‘nunnys’ in this house, it’s strictly a ‘vagina’ affair (which coincidently would be a great title for a drama series on TV) That said, she’s chosen tonight (when @mother_of_daughters is away) to ask questions about men which makes me feel like an embarrassed child, but i promised to tell her the truth. My personal favourites – “do you wear a condom daddy?” Me – “Yes”. Then why do you have so many children? Touchè. “Have you and mummy had sex more than 3 times?” I laughed proudly – “Way more……like at least 9 or 10 times” ( I didn’t want to come across as a sex crazied maniac). #sexeducation #shestheadultimthechild #sheknowsmorethanme #dontaskaboutmasturbationorilldie #ivedoneitloads #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife #parenting
It doesn’t matter whether you’re done with just one, a basketball team or maybe forming the next Cheaper by the Dozen sequel, what it really takes is commitment and love.
And from the looks of it, these parents have those areas covered and are going to be just fine!
