Parenting is equal parts sunshine and hurricanes. Fulfilling, enjoyable, and incredibly exhausting, it comes with just about everything: from happy to yucky surprises, to emotional and challenging situations. Name it, it’s all going to happen. But in between all of that are what we call little pockets of love and joy – the moments that tie everything together beautifully, and keep moms and dads holding on.
You see, it’s never easy but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be enjoyed.
Even if your patience seems to be wearing thin and your energy meter is at an all-time low, always find reasons to smile and laugh, and remember each moment is fleeting.
Take your cue from these fun-loving dads who weren’t the least bit shy about grooving to “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry.
Oh, and be sure to keep your ears open for all the supportive mamas, too!
This daddy dance party will remind you that being a parent shouldn’t confine you within that box of stereotypes. You know, the one that tells you that you should be more of this and less of that, that you should always try and maintain composure at all times, etcetera. Nope, no one needs that. Wave that off and do what you feel is best for you and your family.
In these parents’ cases, the best thing to do that day was to get up, let loose, and dance. And we’re all for it!
No, this isn’t simply dads dancing, either. It’s baby wearing dads!
You’ve probably read about the benefits of baby wearing, but the experts probably left out one important item: baby wearing lets dads dance, too!
Sporting the hottest dad accessory (aka the baby carrier), these men gamely danced together while holding their little ones close. We just know how snug and secure their babies must have felt despite the dancing.
And those loud cheers from the moms? Those aren’t just “I’m-rooting-for-you” cheers.
They sound more like “I love how amazing you are and how good you look being a dad” cheers, don’t you think?
See, dads don’t always get enough credit. They do, however, are often the punchline for parenting jokes. Not that they mind. But let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due.
Dedicated and loving dads couldn’t care less if they look silly or undignified.
As long as the kids are safe and happy, then they’re good. That’s what makes them a cut above the rest.
Dads go above and beyond. Always. Not everyone may see it (because dads think and move outside of the box and are actually so imaginative and diligent), but it’s always there: the willingness to provide, protect, and simply be the dad and husband they need to be each and everyday of their lives.
So, really, this video doesn’t just show dads demonstrating their mastery of choreographed moves. There is actually so much more to this clip than meets the eye. It’s love and laughter and dedication.
It’s a glimpse into the fun and colorful world of fatherhood.
Press play and enjoy the show these dads put on!
