Dads have made headlines for their funny tweets about parenting.
In fact, tweeting about the ups and downs of fatherhood is so common that it even has its own hashtag ― #dadlife. From diaper disasters to bedtime triumphs, dad tweets capture the everyday reality and hilarity of raising kids as a father today.
In honor of Father’s Day, here are 35 tweets that sum up #dadlife.
