Have you ever pondered the fairness of celebrating Mother’s Day before Father’s Day? These humorous photos are bound to tickle your funny bone as they depict the striking differences in the way moms and dads handle parenthood.

Parents, of course, adore their children immensely, but their expressions of love and caregiving styles can be quite distinct. To your mother, you’re forever her little baby, while for your father, you’re not just a child but also a buddy who embarks on adventures that occasionally leave your mother exasperated.

Let’s take a look at the series of photos below to see if these comparisons hold true.

Over the weekend

When playing with my mother outdoors, I still keep my body smelling clean, but once I go with my father, it only takes 5 minutes to become… like this.

Sleeping

– Nestled beside her mother, they resemble two little angels at rest. Yet, with her father, it appears she’s engaged in some headrest acrobatics.

Mealtime

– When dining with your mother, it’s a carefully orchestrated feast. But with your father, it’s more of a “Let’s share a few bottles, son” approach.

Learning to Ride a Bike

– Mom patiently coaches you through every wobbly turn, while your dad’s patience wears thin, and he takes matters into his own hands, quite literally.

A Trip to the Zoo

– Mom helps feed the elephant and ensures safety, while dad nonchalantly says, “It’s just a weasel, have fun.”

Bath Time

– Mom provides a gentle and thorough bath, while dad adds an extra dimension of “fun” to the experience.

During our time together

Mom patiently reads books to her children to learn more about how to live and about necessary knowledge, while Dad treats the kids like slaves; only Dad has the right to play.
