Mum hilariously reveals the six types of dad you get at the school gates – which one is your other half?
WE all know the stereotypes of parents that – if we’re honest – actually true.
From mums who seem to manage to make a fresh lunchbox, hand-stitch their children’s uniform and still put on a full face of makeup to the mums-of-six who are far too run exhausted to do anything over than fling their children through the school gates on time.
But what about the dads?
In a funny TikTok video, influencer Amy-Jo Simpson ran through the typical types of fathers you see at the school gate… and some may sound familiar.
Amy-Jo started with the young dad, the one who turns up in baggy clothes and his cap on backwards.
Next she flagged up the cyclist dad who enthusiastically waves his children off in full lycra.
Then she moved on to the “confused dad” who never quite seems sure what he should be handing his kids to take with them.
Next up the dad that all the mums secretly fancy with his suave smile.
Then she imitated the “military dad” who marches his kids into the playground.
Finishing up with the dad who wears shorts and flip flops all year round – and we all know one of those.
Fellow TikTokers were quick to comment on the witty video.
One said: “100% I’m the confused dad. Even turned up at the wrong school once.”
Another added: “To be honest, I think us dads all secretly think we’re the ‘everyone fancies dad’!”
While a third said: “Cyclist dad is spot on.”
