Egy négylányos apuka felfedi a hisztis, zabolátlan, de imádnivaló igazságot az apaságról
#5 A nagy kérdés, hogy az apukák hol tudják nyilvános helyeken tisztába tenni a gyermekeiket, nem mindig tisztázott
I need your help - A couple of weeks ago, I posted about the lack of baby changing facilities for dads, then low & behold, New York introduced new laws to address that exact issue a day later. Was that down to me? I'm a legislative juggernaut in disguise? In a word, no. But that doesn't mean we can't collectively affect a change. With that flaming pile of nappy offal called Brexit occupying our MP's time, chances of a law change are small, but perhaps we can ask some leading outlets to make changes of their own accord to help dads share the childcare responsbilities when out and about and not have to resort to changing our kids on bathroom floors, in car boots, on toilet lids or just shoving our kids in the arms of women to deal with the problem. Click on the link in bio to sign the petition, please tag some people & share widely. Thanks to Al @Itsthefergusons and @thedadsnet for leading the charge and to you all for being part of the (nappy) change revolution. #bepartofnappychange #dadschangenappiestoo #squatforchange #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad #fod

#6 Csajparty - szülinapki kiadás
Birthdays parties are one of few times in your life can legitimately make it all about you without feeling guilty. To shamelessly get your way and to soak up the attention showered up on you from all directions - perfect both for 3 year old and 36 year olds who haven't grown up yet (i.e. me). But what happens if you to share that day with someone who's a mirror image of you and loves nothing more than following you around like a shadow in a heatwave? The answer - a competition to take centre stage - the eventual winner (Ottilie) then led a dance to a seemingly never ending loop of baby shark while the loser (Delilah) clinged me in the kitchen as I make crustless ham sandwiches Picture 3 tells the whole story in one shot! I guess twin like can be hard sometimes. Fyi @mother_of_daughters will kill me for this picture because of "all the chins" but she looks great and I rarely get all my girls in one shot, so suck it up Clemmie, you're beautiful from all angles.

#7 A karácsony előtti este, amikor megpróbálnád titokban becsempészni az ajándékokat, de a négy kislányod annyira izgatott, hogy úgy tűnik, egy percet sem fognak aludni
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring.....apart from the 4 hyped up children who have main lined festive spirit intravenously & are massively over excited at the prospect of a large guy dressed in red, breaking into our home and leaving presents in their bedroom. Father Christmas is getting advocaat this year as daddy forgot to buy sherry and now I'm banished to the "wrapping room" for the next 2 hours to pay for my sins as once again, I've last everything to the last minute. Good luck everyone, merry Christmas and here's to hoping you don't see your children eye balling you from the foot of your bed at 3.38am shouting "he came, he came!!!

#8 Családi filmes este - a ritka pillanatok egyike, amikor a lányok kicsit lecsendesednek
Thanks to advances in modern technology and the advent of on-demand viewing (which has helped to bring about a generation who have less patience than a closed down hospital), our children will never know the joy of planning the family festive viewing schedule by taking turns to circle things in the annually bought radio times using red biro or the pain of having to make a choice between Bruce Willis crawling through air ducts in Die Hard and Harrison ford having his heart ripped out by a blood thirsty witch doctor in Indiana Jones, both of which had been scheduled at same time (& both festive heart warmers). Yet it seems there's such thing as too much choice these days, so with everyone now 'off' from Christmas, we settling in for our first festive family argument which was only resolved when Toy story was whacked on, pop corn was rolled out and the remote was hidden in a kitchen drawer. 1hr 21mins of relative silence. I think @mother_of_daughters was quite pleased with her suggestion - Everyone else looking forward to some intense forced family time this christmas? #hohohonowihaveamachinegun #donttouchtheremote#forcedfamilyfun #wherestheredbiro #toystoryforthewin #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad #fod

#9 Amikor kapsz egy csodás műalkotást
It's a little known fact that children's nurseries generate so much art work per day that if you added it all up, it would weigh the same as 10 blue whales who'd really left themselves go. Ok, that's not true but I'm sure that they are a contributing factor to Amazon rainforests reduced lung capacity and heavy wheezing. And what do we do with all these jackson pollock style master pieces that are covered in half dried poster paints that weld themselves to the car, glitter (the syphillis of the arts & crafts world as you can't get rid of it) & an ocean of PVA glue that covers the page from corner to corner? Be honest - we take a half glance, pay the appropriate compliments & then 95% of their portfolio goes straight to that special private gallery in the cupboard - the recycling bin. Do I feel guilty? Sure, a bit, but I'm 4 kids in, so that guilt gets brushed off pretty easily - I'm cold as ice. (Fyi we keep the best ones, we're not total monsters!) #coldasice #disposableart #wheresmypicturegone #fatherofdaughters #twins #dadlife #instadad #fod

As a guy, no one warns you that when you have daughters, you're going to spend a good proportion of your future dealing with hair related issues. Growing up, the most my parents had to deal with was when I dumped an entire bottle of peroxide in my hair, turning it thr colour of the rising sun & burning my scalp like forgotten bacon in the process. But when you combine the facts that we have more hair in our house than a cousin IT convention, and that our girls have follicles with have no grip, you end up living with clogged drains, balls of hair placed around the house, nit epidemics, meals with a side helping of hair, endless brushing & plaiting (usually accompanied by screaming), hair brushes that are more hair than brush, vaccum cleaners that no longer work thanks to being bound with wads of the stuff and so many hair products that I'm now close to being forced to keep my sad little collection of out of date toiletries in a bag that hangs out the window. I'm strongly considering just shaving their heads in their sleep but realise they just end up looking like a bunch of juvenile offenders. #Haireverywhere #shavethekids #challengesofbeingsurroundedbywomen #hairalldaylong #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad #fod

#11 De a fesztiválozásról nem kell lemondanod
I always wonder how toddlers view festivals as it's such a break from normal life. They see a lot of adults stand in a field usually reserved for farm animals & watch them slowly regress to being teenagers again, shouting "I love this tune!" Or "who's this band - I've never heard of them", while embarrasing their families by dancing as if their limbs were independently controlled by an invisible puppet master. They're treated to a muffled audio experience of the world through neon ear defenders while observing other children run around, seemingly free of supervision (although infact mum & dad are taking turns to have 'eyes on' & make sure they don't stray too far), fuelled by a day long course of glucose supplied by parents wanting an arguement free afternoon. Their nappies get changed under open skies & sleep covered in coats, only to wake and find they are still in same field, but the sun's gone to bed, everyone's covered in glitter & daddy is sporting a childs tutu. It must be a very confusing sensory overload, but they seem to love it & a break from norm is something we all need now & again #festivalfashion #throughtheeyesofatoddler #breakfromthenorm #whosthatonstage #onemoretune #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad #twins
