The Difference Between Moms And Dads Taking Care Of Kids

One of the stereotypes in our society is that moms are the caring parent, while dads are the funny, clumsy and have-fun-with-everything parent. Well, while that is not always true, there are pictures proving that it is. Let’s take a look at some photos, and see how moms and dads react in the same situation. Just bear in mind, most of the photos here are just for fun. While in reality they might be true, we do not believe dads are the worst parents ever.

1.

When left alone with mom, this kid is all cute and adorable. But when the father enters the scene, the two of them have fun with lots  of shaving foam. Dad and the kid look like they are ready for Halloween. Of course no dad would let his child shave at the age of 4 or 5.

2.

When your dad takes you out with your stroller, you know you are out in a style. Fathers love to teach their kids from little, and if it not Putin on the picture, it sure will be some football team or basketball team. Team loyalty starts when you are little, and dads try to do that.

3.

Nowadays, teaching your kid to work on a computer is like teaching him/her to brush his/her teeth. It starts at the youngest age, but while mom can work with her kid at the same time, dad uses his kid as a mouse pad.

4.

It is feeding time, and you are left with your mom. Your mom will try to be as gentle as possible. Now you are with your dad. He will just make a sandwich and give it to you.

5.

No matter if it is a girl or a boy, mothers are always trying to use gender-neutral games and toys. Fathers, on the other side, expect even their girls to be manly, and they use their machines in the house as toys.

6.

Fun fact: the drunk baby meme originated from a mother sharing her baby girl telling a joke. But the stereotype will always be that you drink your first beer with your father.

7.

Visiting the zoo can be a blast. But when you are with your mother, she tries to educate you, telling you stories about every single animal, and let you pet one or two. Your father, on the other hand, tries to have some fun.

8.

Another way to use a stroller for your baby is by having him in your arms. And dad knows it best.

9.

Pouches have become a huge trend in parenting care in the past few years. Moms use it the same way like kangaroos. Dads, on the other hand, have a different view of what a pouch is.

10.

It is a well known fact that dads play video games. This one is probably the closest to the truth of parenting, as moms are those reading, while dads will let you play a video game with them, or sometimes even not.

11.

Another genuinely true picture, as we’ve seen our male friends share countless of photos with their baby on their head. It might not happen all the times, but whenever a female friend of mine shares a picture with her baby, it looks cute and adorable. Daddy photos are more like the right picture here.

12.

Another baby sleeping time photo, and it is true to the nature of parenting as well. I don’t know what is with babies when they sleep next to their mothers, but they just look cuter and more adorable.

13.

When it comes to toys for the baby while sleeping, dads want to be practical as much as they can. Leaving a baby bottle ensures the baby will have something to eat when he/she wakes up.

14.

Going back to that video playing stereotype, this picture shows dads don’t waste a second of their time, being able to multitask between taking care of their baby, and playing games.

15.

Another feeding time picture, and as you can see, dads have no problem feeding even off of their baby. Some might say it is messy, but dads do not care.

16.

Another well documented truth. Whenever kids are out with their mother, they come back home as clean as they went out. When they are out with their fathers, on the other hand, they need to get into the wash machine.

17.

Visiting a kids themed park is a dream come true for little kids. And while moms will take you to some calm and risk free ride, dads will probably opt for the adrenaline rush.

18.

When Halloween hits, you can notice at first glance who chose the mask for the kid. When moms choose the mask, you can see princesses, princes, and many other cute and adorable masks. Dads, on the other hand, have a different view how a mask should look like.

19.

We talked about feeding time, and how dads are clumsier and dirtier. Both moms and dads will share their meal with their kids, but the result is quite different.

20.

Both mothers and fathers love when the kid is participating in cooking. But as with everything else with men, cooking is a mess. I know you’ve probably watched a cooking show, and even though men are the stars, the kitchen looks clean and neat. In reality, that is rarely the case, as when men cook, the kitchen is left in a mess.

21.

Another great example of what happens when moms invite their kid to a cooking class, and when dads invite their kids to a cooking class. Assistance is always welcomed, but the approach is different.

22.

If you need any more proof how dads take care of feeding when it comes to babies ,this is it.

23.

We said that dads are more into video games. What happens when fathers love to take their video games and toys love to a next level is a Lego and Star Wars inspired stroller. Who cares about practicality and functionality when it looks awesome?

24.

Let’s go grocery shopping. While moms will get their kids a free ride with a stroller, dads will usually use the stroller as a storage unit. The difference is evident.

25.

I must say, I’ve heard from my friends that dads are actually much more careful when it comes to bathing. But the stereotype is that dads will have fun with foam and everything else while bathing their baby.

26.

This has to be one of the new ways for holding a baby. I’ve literally never seen this before. But if the baby falls asleep, it is all good.

27.

As we said multiple times, dads are always looking for the next way to have fun and interact with their babies. Moms might hug you, kiss you and cuddle, dads will probably play with you and your face.
