75 Of The Funniest Posts From "The Dad" - Where Parents Of The Internet Hilariously Collide
Parenting can be hard; that's why we make jokes.
There’s nothing as uniquely life-changing as becoming a parent. You’re suddenly entrusted with the huge responsibility of caring for and raising a whole human being.
Doctors literally just hand you a baby fresh from your partner’s (or your own) womb and send you on your merry way. You’re responsible for your child’s development, which means being engaged, warm, and loving.
That also means playing with them, reading to them, and feeding (and teaching) them about nutritious foods. As they get older, more things come into play, like playdates, what sort of schooling you’re going to pursue, and extracurricular activities.
It’s a LOT, and while you’re in it, it feels like it’s never-ending. Each stage of growth presents its own challenges.
But all of it can be so, SO rewarding. There aren’t the proper words to express how incredible it is to watch and guide your kid as they grow into a self-sufficient person.
A person who has been shaped by your love, attention, family morals, and hopefully, Dad jokes. Because why put in all that serious effort without taking a few breaks here and there for a laugh?
In the spirit of all things parental and humorous, we’ve collected tweets and memes from an online project called The Dad. This project is dedicated to sharing the parenthood experience, with a heavy focus on humor, because parents in the trenches NEED IT.

Reading through these tweets supports the idea that men CAN and DO possess natural parenting instincts, and they aren’t just clueless meat suits in the way of Moms. As Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, a renowned pediatrician, states, "Fathers play a crucial role in their children's development, and their involvement is vital for healthy family dynamics." Dads may have been poorly portrayed in society and media, but things are finally turning around for the better.
Witnessing Dads rocking the parenting hustle is only going to help inspire more fathers to be better. We just love to see it. As Dr. Lawrence Cohen, a respected child psychologist, emphasizes, "Active fatherhood fosters resilience and emotional intelligence in children, benefiting the entire family."
