Scroll down for the punchline, plus a roundup of the hilarious parenting content from the week, guaranteed to make you smile, if not laugh out loud. And the odd helpful tip.
Happy Saturday Dads!
Ever been sitting on the tube and wondered why everyone keeps glancing in your direction, only to get home at the end of the day and realise you’ve had baby vomit on your left shoulder for the entire day?
No? Just us then. 😳
Well, we asked the Fathers of Reddit to help us think of some of the other classics that’ll immediately single you out as a new dad. And they didn’t disappoint.
Nothing says you’re a dad more than…
“having someone sneeze into your eyeballs”
“random patches of snot on my sweater”
“packing sandwiches for the lads golf weekend”
“only ever drinking cold tea”

🔢 It’s all in the numbers
Ever find that babies just love staring at your face? Well then, congratulations! You must be really, really, really, ridiculously good looking.
Apparently babies prefer to look at beautiful faces and will spend more time staring at the people they find most attractive.
So be honest, is it you, or your partner?
On a serious note, whilst 82% of parents think their baby is insanely cute, don’t worry if that isn’t how you feel.
If you’re actually wondering whether you should be auditioning them for the next Churchill biopic, have no fear. A study completed in 2011 established no correlation between attractiveness in infants and young adults, meaning that the 18% of parents admitting to finding their baby ugly can rest easy!
⚒️ Try this
Is anyone else mid-weaning and terrified about under/over feeding their baby? Seriously, how do you know when they’re full?
Well, we found this useful infographic from Mummy Cooks that maps out the different portion sizes to consider at each stage of the process.

“Looks like the film Paranormal Activity; I’m not going up there, there’s a demon baby in my bedroom.”
Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
Lent | 14th Feb - 28th Mar; always a useful excuse when negotiating snacks with your child
Random Acts of Kindness Day | Today; perhaps a mechanism for bringing two siblings closer together? You could try making a kindness tree
That’s it for this week folks.
