#bachelordad

In November 2016 my wife went overseas for a few weeks. While she was away I had some fun with our two kids on Facebook and hence #bachelordad was born.

Day One:

Bachelor Dad for next two weeks… Whats for breakfast kids? M&Ms with chocolate topping… cereal done, Coke… and a heathy serve of cheezels to make sure we have dairy requirements covered. I don’t know what all those mums are complaining about… this parenting thing is easy as!

Day Two:

Well that’s breakfast done…

Day Three:

Drinks before bed… no worries

Day Four:

Dinner is served… Eat up kids

In case you missed it… That’s two chocolate muffins, ANZAC buscuits (or cookies for our American readers), marshmallows and green and yellow M&Ms.

Day Five:

A double black espresso should warm the kids up before bed.

Day Six:

Wow… who knew Slurpees were so much cheaper than water. #bargain #winning

Day Seven:

Veggies… check.

Day Eight:

Ponytails sorted the easy way…

Day Nine:

Ssssslithering sssssnakes should help the kids sssssssleeep sssssssoundly.

Day Ten:

No toothpaste? No worries… just use Nutella kids… and don’t forget to rinse with coke. We Can’t have any Nutella left on your teeth before bed

Day Eleven:

The best thing about a sugar coma is the peace and quiet. #winning

So my wife finally comes home from her trip and this is how she responds…

Family detox #MumIsHome #FunPolice #Vitamins #PartyTimeOver #StopEncouragingTheMan #AllABitOfFun

Of course my wife knows me well… she also came back with goodies…

Hmmm… I don’t remember detox involving chocolate. #wivesarethebest #mmmmpreztels

But of course the fun didn’t stop there…

The kids have got some work ahead of them once they get home. Let the fun begin #familytradition #bachelordad lives on

And the Grand Finale…

Our youngest blabbed a day early… So we had to open my wife’s Christmas present tonight… My wife is now the proud owner of the very first 2017 #bachelordad calendar
