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.
10: dad, close your eyes and open your mouth

before becoming a parent i didn't know i could ruin someone's life by providing them with food, water, juice, clothes, entertainment and shelter for free.

Today's a day that will go down in history. My teenager just said to us "I don't know everything". It's a Christmas miracle!!

My 8 yo is playing a VR game called Job Simulator. He's literally working in an office ....for fun.

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.

one thing about adulthood i was not prepared for was how many cardboard boxes i'd have to breakdown and throw away all the time.

Omg one teenager is gonna be the death of me and I've got two more to go.

it's challenging to be parent. for example i had to hold in my laughter as my poor sick 8 yo sat on the toilet crying in anger declaring "it's not fun that every time i fart i poop!!".
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) December 28, 2023
my 8 yo: I DO LISTEN!
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) December 26, 2023
me: you need to get dressed you're going to the doctor
8: to go where????
Hey toddler parents - I have a teenage son now. i'd rather have 50 toddlers if that tells you anything about how great a teenager is. ok bye. hope this helps you.

i went to bed with a clean kitchen and all kids in bed. i woke up with a messed up kitchen and my 14 yo sleeping on the couch. was there a party between 11pm and 6am that i couldn't hear?
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) December 29, 2023
for 2024 i've made a resolution to be the parent i always thought i'd be before i had kids. the first step will be getting rid of the kids.
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) January 2, 2024
don't let anyone call you a bad parent. your kid already tells you multiple times a day. i hope this helps

how to ruin your childs entire week with 3 words:
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) January 11, 2024
empty the dishwasher.
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.

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.

If you can handle listening to someone sniffling their snot for eight straight hours without wanting to off yourself, parenting might be for you.

If you hate having to talk to a lot in the mornings or any time of day, don't have kids
— Dadman Walking (@dadmann_walking) December 10, 2023
