10+ Single Dads Share the Raw Truth Of Being the Only Parent (Page 3 ) | June 24, 2025

Story 8
Doing my daughter’s hair is a daily struggle. I’ve asked female friends, my hairdresser, and even consulted the internet, but no matter what I do, it always looks like she’s been through a windstorm. Since her mom isn’t around, she’s with me full-time.

I even took her to my hairdresser, who made it look beautiful. I bought all the same products and took notes. But within two days, it was back to being a mess. At first, I worried people would judge me, but now I know I’m doing my best, and I’m a great dad. © maxd / Reddit

Story 9
I once volunteered to help with my daughter’s school Christmas party. The mom in charge asked me repeatedly if I could handle bringing a specific drink. She even asked a family member if I’d manage it.

For context, my daughter was in 5th grade and I’d been a single dad with full custody of both my kids for six years. I reassured her I could handle bringing a drink — it wasn’t rocket science. © dn0614 / Reddit

Story 10
