Dad of 4 daughters has got nothing on this mom of 4 sons
by Whitney Barthel posted in Parenting
Simon Hooper, father of four darling daughters, has recently won the internet. Hooper?s Instagram page, @father_of_daughters, offers a priceless look into what it?s like to be completely outnumbered by females; a wife, Clemmie, 9-year-old Anya, 6-year-old Marnie, and 1-year-old twins Ottilie and Delilah.
I, of course, was immediately intrigued by this dad who is in the exact opposite position as I. I am the mother of four boys; 6-year-old Daniel, 4-year-old Frankie, 3-year-old George, and 1-year-old Charlie.
After making sure I hit the follow button for both Simon and his wife Clemmie, I relished this dad?s pictures; noting all the obvious differences in raising girls from raising boys.
*Playtime with girls=having to be a Barbie doll. Playtime with boys=having to be a referee.
*Shopping with girls vs shopping with boys. No explanation needed.
But, despite a few very apparent differences, I was blown away at how similar raising four girls appears to be.
I scrolled through his pictures and they felt eerily similar to ones I have shared on my own social media pages.
*Silly selfies for everyone!
*Walks are cool--whether you're a fashionista, or someone who refuses to change out of your Mickey Mouse pajamas for three days.
*Everyone has to eat, right"
*Boxes: BEST.INVENTION.EVER
I get the question ?so, are you going to try for a girl"? a lot. Usually my answer is, ?Nah, I?m good wit...
