Man gives 25 hilarious examples of what it's feel like to be a father of three kids
Being a dad is not a joke and this man's experiences sum up what it is like to be a father to not one, but three kids.
Nobody is ever prepared to become a parent unless they welcome kids into their lives. It's a beautiful journey of raising your offspring, but at the same time, it comes with its fair share of challenges. If you thought only moms are out there navigating through parenting duties, then you might be wrong. Dads don't have it any easier either. They have to set an example for their kids all the while handling their tantrums, disciplining them and putting in a lot of effort to raise them. They also wake up in the middle of the night to put the kids back to sleep, answer their unimaginable weird questions and tackle their arguments.
It is difficult for dads to keep their heads in the game and become great guiding figures in their kids.' lives. Sometimes, these dads might lose their patience and sometimes, they might make mistakes as well. This is where one comedic dad comes in with his fun-filled commentaries. @dadmann_walking, is out there taking everyone on a trip consisting of reality checks with humor when it comes to parenting, especially being a dad to young kids. This father's social media is full of witty and accurate remarks about dealing with multiple kids in the household. He doesn't shy away from admitting that being a dad can get exhausting at times, but it's still worth it.

my 9 and 7 yo each had a friend sleep over this weekend. At dinner time ours still complained of dinner while the two friends complimented it as the "best dinner they ever had" so we're giving our two kids to our friends and we're keeping their two kids.

20. You don't see those kids sneaking up
at midnight 6 went through the dark house quietly to not wake his brothers, traveled up the stairs softly, entered our room as quiet as a mouse, got right up to the side of our bed and at volume 300 scream and cried that an alarm was going off in his bedroom. i almost died.

21. Not everything needs to be renamed
most often it's cute when kids have alternative names for things. however my 8 yo calling taco bell's cinnabon delights "creamy balls" confirms that we are out of the cute-renaming-of-things stage.
