Parenting two kids is, in my humble opinion, challenging enough at times.
Which is why I can only imagine what having four kids must be like.
But, luckily, now I don’t even have to imagine anymore, because hilarious UK-dad Simon Hooper, who lives in London with his wife Clementine and four daughters (FOUR daughters!) shares the tales of his harried and hectic life with all of us on Instagram – and guys; it is pure gold.
Father_of_daughters, as Hooper’s Insgram account is aptly titled, admits to the Huffington Post that he shares the truth in an effort to be as realistic as possible about the challenges of parenting.
“In general my whole account is to show a realistic view of what parenting is like from a parent’s perspective,” the dad-of-four explained. “There is way too much sugarcoating when it comes to parents, so I wanted to share what it’s really like and provide a bit of humor at the same time.”
Amen to that.
In true to his word, Hooper’s pictures do indeed give a great insight into the trials and tribulations of raising four young kids.
We all know it, of course, that parenting, as well as being fun and love-filled and amazing, is also messy, stressful and at times even nightmarish. It is just easy to forget sometimes in these days of Pinterest-perfection and filtered reality.
Parenting, my friends, requires a strong commitment and an even stronger sense of humor. And when it comes to those, it looks like the Hoopers have it all – by the bucketload.
Just take a look and see:
