We were looking for a fun prompt this week and we finalized on this ‘Role reversal’ idea. Role reversal of mom and dad. I must tell you that my girls love it when this role reversal happens and in case you are wondering why? Read it here what happens when dad plays mommy’s role.
When I am not around, he is the coolest dad.
Why? Cos he gets pizza and burgers from outside,
And let them eat anywhere and at any time.
When I am not around, he is the coolest dad.
Why? Cos he is not nagging and shouting like mommy,
And never asks them to finish their chores like mommy.
When I am not around, he is the coolest dad.
Why? Cos he lets them sleep late,
And tells them funny bedtime stories.
When I am not around, he is the coolest dad.
Why? Cos he cooks awesome stuff unlike mommy,
As he experiments with different things and makes them very happy.
When I am not around, he is the coolest dad.
Why? Cos according to them, daddy is much more fun,
As he plays interesting games with them,
And I am sure in all this nothing gets done.
One thing which my girls very happily always tell me after I come back, “Mom! The house was very quiet when you were not there.”
And I know what they mean!
I always thought about myself as a fun mommy but according to my girls – daddy is more fun. And this mommy has no complaints. 🙂
A lot of people ask me this question, “How are you able to manage so many things? Your kids and husband must be very helpful and supportive.”
And the answer is yes! I am able to do so many things or follow my passions as I know that he is there to support me in everything. He manages stuff with kids and I don’t have to worry when I am stepping out for some work.
So, role reversal in my house is fun as kids enjoy more with dad. I think we moms worry too much about the things and are a stickler for rules but dads manage things in a much cooler way. That’s why kids enjoy more with them.
At least this is the case in my house, What about you? Let me know your fun story too. Waiting to hear from you what happens when dad plays mommy’s role.

This was a fun post to read on a Monday morning. Mummies are the real sticky lot when it comes to rules and Dads can be so much fun because they themselves seldom follow rules 🙂 You are a lucky one to have your husband’s full support and his being hands on with your daughters. In my home, Daddy is favourite because he lets D watch a lot of TV while I do not at all. The song goes – ‘Dabba hai dabba mummy ka TV dabba.’

Yes, dads let them watch tv and do all that stuff which we dot allow. And Kids surely know whom to go when they want things done. Thanks a lot Anamika for stopping by 🙂

Oh yes, for all kids, dads are more fun than mommies! Moms are sticklers for rules and systems while for dads and kids, rules and systems are meant to be broken! 😀
January 16, 2017 at 11:58 am
Haha..yes all rules are broken when I am not at home. That’s why daddy dear is more fun. Thanks Shilpa for stopping by 🙂

Deepa it is fun to read your story. Kids secretly love being with their dads. He plays with them on mobile that I deny. They has no rules to follow.

Its fun to read this. A short poem said it all.
My Toddler stay happy with his Dad as he allows him to watch videos. He also joins him while Daddy is busy playing screen game. But rest everything goes for a toss.

Its fun for me to read all these responses as it shows how we moms are sailing in the same boat. Dads will be dads. Thanks Upasna 🙂

Hahaha spending time with dad is always fun… You get to do more daring stuff. Moms are always so strict. They aren’t wired to be laid back. This was a fun read 😀
January 17, 2017 at 12:27 pm
Yes..kids love spending time with their dad as there are no rules. Thanks for stopping by Rajlakshmi 🙂

I think noone these days is mama’s boy/girl. The role has been reversed 😉
January 18, 2017 at 5:48 pm
Completely agree..Thanks Zainab.
January 19, 2017 at 1:01 pm
Depending on what kind of dad he is, I think the result would vary. I bet though it will mostly be hilarious. 🙂
January 19, 2017 at 3:24 pm
Agree Lux..Thanks for stopping by 🙂

This is quite a fun post Deepa! I like it when you put all those words poetically. I have found the men I have been associated to – be it my dad, brother, husbands and friends, are always so good when it comes to sharing responsibility of taking care of children (of course, a few friends are exempted here). In fact it has been a 50/50 sharing that, I have seen role reversals everyday.
January 22, 2017 at 10:01 am
Its nice when dads share equal responsibility. Thanks a lot Menaka for stopping by..glad you liked it 🙂
