Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, especially when you're a single parent. Parents don't always get it right; in fact, most of the time, they screw up. But the sign of a good parent is one who can admit their mistakes and apologize to their kids when they get it wrong. One dad posted on Reddit, wanting to know how badly he had f*cked up when he cut his daughter's hair. He explained that he is a single parent and struggles to maintain his seven-year-old daughter's hair, which she refuses to take any responsibility for herself. After many discussions with her, he finally cut her hair, which she found very distressing. His mother and sister told him that it was the wrong move, but he is unsure. Redditors gave mixed responses, with many telling him that his reasoning was fair, but the way he carried it out wasn't OK. Below is his account; scroll through and tell us what you think. Is this bad parenting, or were his actions justified?

Everyone knows that dads and their jokes are super cringe-worthy. On the other hand, they are precious, and we must protect them at all costs. Otherwise, dad bods, dad jokes, and dad tweets will cease to exist - and where would we be without those things?! Twitter dads are our favorite, and we will continue to document their fatherly shenanigans every week. Scroll down for this week's best dad tweets, and then check out last week's in case you missed them.
If there's a group of people who do 'awkward' best, it's dads. There must be something written into their DNA that says, "embarrass my kids at all costs," because they succeed every time. These awkward family pictures prove how well dads do 'awkward,' and by the looks of it, how proud they are to have this talent.
Every couple with children lands on some kind of system to share the labor. Sometimes people switch or days, or months, or they agree to have one person take on the housework while the other focuses on supporting the family financially. There is no perfect recipe for a happy family or marriage, but the important thing is that everyone feels valued and not like they're being taken for granted. There's not a single thing wrong with taking on the role of a stay-at-home mom, but it is wrong to be pushed into that position and then resented by your partner for 'having it easier,' as if managing a household is not a 24/7 occupation.
Like we said, find the balance that works for you, but make sure all parties understand why it's 'balanced.'

We've rounded up some of the funniest dad tweets we found this week that accurately describe the journey of parenthood. There's something about men becoming fathers that makes them so much more comical, relatable, and goofier, and we're grateful for it. Here's the best from dads on Twitter from the past seven days, and here are last week's in case you missed them.
Women are inherently stronger than men. How do we know this? Because no man would willingly give birth or go through labor pains. The proof in the pudding is these dads who totally lost it during the delivery of their children. Even though they weren't going through the physical pain themselves, they couldn't handle the heat. Men, get out of the freaking kitchen delivery room if you can't handle the heat.

Check out these hilariously sarcastic tweets from dads who are hanging on by a thread, and then head on over to last week's funniest dad tweets for more dad humor.
A lot of parents place excessive pressure on their children to bring them, grandchildren. It's nothing new, and if you plan to have kids anyway, it's not such a big deal. But not everyone wants children, and we don't 'owe' our parents grandchildren. If they want to take care of something so badly, invest in some kind of house-pet, or succulent.
If one's parents are understanding, eventually they should be able to respect that their children don't want to have kids. But some parents can just get more and more obsessed with the lack of toddlers in their life and just progressively lose their sh*t.
Father's Day is upon us once again. This year is basically guaranteed to be better than the last due to... obvious reasons. Luckily there are many more options if you're looking for a fun place to take your old man. Don't ask us what to buy him though, it has (un)officially been decided that dads are the hardest people to buy gifts for — a close second being older brothers. How many ties can a man possibly own after all?
Father's Day is the day we celebrate all the dads out there who are doing their best to raise their kids and stay sane at the same time. Whether it's young dads, older dads, or grandpas, we are grateful to them and their efforts. Dads might be good at many things, but using social media isn't always one of them. So, in honor of today's auspicious occasion, we wanted to have a bit of a laugh at their expense, so here are some of the funniest dads and grandpas who have no idea how to use Facebook. Bless them, at least they're trying.
We can't imagine having a pregnant wife is easy because you have to deal with the hormones, the stress, and the responsibility of getting them through the pregnancy. But being pregnant is even harder, so the sympathy for partners is somewhat limited. These men think they've got it so tough having a pregnant wife and have resorted to being smart asses to cope with it. Three guesses as to whether or not their wives appreciate their sass? Yep, you got it. They don't! These tweets from dads-to-be prove that it's never too early to start with the dad humor.

Here are some of the funniest dad tweets we saw this week from dads who are just trying to hold it together.
Parenting is a Herculean task and not one for the weak-willed. Continuously making sure your kids are fed, clothed, bathed, and occupied can get pretty exhausting and make you want to throw in the towel. Unfortunately, that's not really an option, and so you have to keep on going— at least until your kids are 18. To the dads who do manage to keep up the parenting gig, we salute you. Because as much stick as we give dads, they can be pretty funny, so here's our Twitter tribute to them. The funniest dad tweets we found this week are a great dose of dad humor for when you need a pick me up. And last week's funny dad tweets are pretty good too!
