Father Of 4 Daughters Blows Instagram By Refusing To Sugarcoat His Photos

People often show some sort of perfect life on social media, but in real life things are very different, especially if you are a parent. Simon Hooper wanted to put a stop in this situation. So he decided to create an Instagram account to show how parenting really looks like.

Simon is a father of 4 girls, a 9-year-old, a 6-year-old and 10-months-old twins. His account has reached over 190K followers with his realistic post about the parent life.  “There is way too much sugarcoating when it comes to parents, so I wanted to share what it’s really like and provide a bit of humor at the same time.”

Hooper knows being a parent is difficult. He describes his role as a father like “a handy man, taxi driver, swimming instructor, tutor, chef, counsellor, human climbing frame, bank, personal shopper and PA”. That’s exactly what you’ll see in his posts, no wonder people are going crazy.

These are 15 pictures that describe parenting according to Simon:
