Daddies and their daughters....

MisN

Normally I get DD ready in the morning for DayCare but yesterday I had to be at work early so left DH in charge.

When I picked up DD, she was wearing a brown pyjama shirt, clashing pants and hot pink socks and no shoes (he brought her boots only).    Her hair had about 5 clips in it all strewn about (DD has lots of hair than seems to grow forward so it really needs to be styled out of her face but DH can't seem to work the small elastics I normally use).  The DayCare providers and I had a good laugh.

Share your funny stories about Daddies in charge.

Well, I don't have on of DH...but I can tell you the one time my mom left my dad in charge of getting us ready for picture day...my hair looks ridiculous.  Poor guy, he definitely tried though.  Good thing we wore uniforms for school.

Let me start by directing you to my siggy. DH is a fabulous daddy and does an amazing job as a SAH.

But let me tell ya, he is used to dressing a boy I think which is a different thing all together from a girl DS's clothes pretty much match easily and no hair issues involved. Poor DD. The "best" outfit of all was brown flower pants with a pink onsie (thankfully there was pink in the flowers), striped pink and purple socks and black and white adidas sneakers. No bow in her wild hair (her hair also grows forward and needs to be pushed back with a barrete or tiny elastic). Top it off with her fall jacket which is polka dot pink/gray. I laughed so hard when I got home from work that day.

DH dressed DD in a red white & black fleece top with purple and pink flowered cotton leggings. Yowsers!

DH and I were in a musical when DD was about 4-6months old. We would sometimes leave her with friends for practice and sometimes tote her with us. She was always really good at musical practice and loved watching everything going on around her. I had to be there early once so we drove separately and DH brought DD. When they arrived I was on a break so I went to her carseat to pick her up and she didn't have any pants on...she wasn't just in a onesie either, it was just a little baby t-shirt and a diaper and her hair bow lol. "She's a baby, she doesn't always need pants" he said LOL Thankfully I had an extra outfit in the diaper bag :P 

Really though, DH is awesome. He's such a good dad and is totally on top of caring for our daughter. I still think of this story and giggle.

That sounds like a very colorful outfit.  DH always dresses DD in outfits that don't match.  In her drawer, her 2-piece outfits are folded together.  You'd think that would be easy to grab & she would match.  Oh no, he'll take the top from one of the outfits & pair it with jeans or some other pants.  It cracks me up that he makes it harder than it has to be!

When we were visiting my parents for Thanksgiving my dad went to get Chloe up in the morning.  She came down wearing her brown skirt over her brown pants and topped with her brown shirt, black socks...her hair was all over the place...

He said that they were all brown so he thought they went together, although he wasn't sure which socks because there were no brown ones...so he went with black.

Thankfully my hubs is really good about dressing our daughter, in fact he usually has an opinion on her outfits for special occasions (although he won't touch her hair...men).

Without fail, DH will just pick a white onesie when dressing DD...I think he just is afraid of clashing, but doesn't get that the white ones are for under things! He also has a hard time figuring out which socks have grippies and which require shoes.

But by far the funniest is one time when I went to change her after he'd done the last diaper change and her diaper was SO low, she had plumber's crack. I was like "who put this diaper on you!" and he heard me through the monitor and came in to see what he did wrong, then said "it's bikini style. she likes it that way. she told me". 

hah.

DH actually doesn't do that bad of a job when he has to free DD. However, he has put clothes on backwards, inside out and shoes on the wrong feet. He also will never attempt to put DD's hair in a pony tail either, so I don't get a chance to do so before I leave for work, she goes to the babysitter with wild, messy hair.

Oh, everything from mismatched outfits (dressy tunic with beat up, ratty corduroy pants) to not feeding her at appropriate intervals (and wondering why she's so cranky) to waiting too long to change a diaper- it has all happened. But he is learning as he goes, and he is an awesome Dad.

lurking here... When dd was about 15 months old, I went out for dinner with a few girlfriends and came home to find my dd sitting on the couch in only her diaper. Now, while that may not seem that bad, the diaper was actually on backwards! How he managed that, I will never know! It wasnt a pull up type so it must have been so hard to get it on.

Hi never posted here before but would like to answer..... My DH is colorblind and when her dresses her it is horrrible!!! Poor guy. He tries though so thats all that matters to me lol.

My husband once told me "the colors match, patterns don't matter" as DD was wearing flowered pants and a striped top. The colors also didn't match.

For the first few months, most things he put on were backwards. My favorite was when DD was a week old and had a little dress on with ruffled tights. When I changed her clothes, all the ruffles were in the front. He is a great dad and he gets most things on properly by now.

It usually doesn't get too bad - he usually calls me with stupid questions and lets me put on her clothes most of the time, but the other week, I came on and her jeans were backward ---- he said he thought pockets went in the back. but ummm, these didn't (like heart designs for looks), and hellllo, look at the tag! haha
