Snap not happy.

It's a well known fact that most Dads are bad at taking photos. I have no idea what makes them terrible, at capturing memories but they suck at it!!

In order for me to have a photo with the kids, I have to ask him and physically give him, my phone in camera mode...And even then 9 times out of 10, the photo is terrible, with either my head cut off, no-one looking or blinking!! It's unbelievable how terrible he is because when it comes to taking pictures of car, he's like a professional!! It's staggering how he can't see that a moment between me and the kids, is nice enough to just take his phone out and take a quick snap, but the car has had so many professional shoots, that I've lost count!!

I often say to him, that if I was to not be here all they would have is selfies, I've taken or shots of blurry peolpe, that if you squint hard enough, you can sort of tell its me.

I have a ridiculous amount of photos of him, some posed and some natural ones. I've captured newborn moments, playing moments, sleeping moments and loving moments. I always manage to not cut his head off and everyone is alway in focus and smiling.

It's not just our family, where this happens. Mum's are never in the photo, as they are always behind the camera. Our recent holiday snaps, look like I wasn't even present! In fact, while watching the holiday video, for the 13478 time this week, Number 1 actually asked where I was!!! I told her I was taking the photos but what I actually wanted to say was... well poppet, I was there but Daddy is so shit at taking any type of photos, that it's almost like I don't exsist in this family, as there's actual no evidence of me anywhere, bar this photo of you with a torso, with no head!!

Sometimes it would just be nice for him to take a photo, without prompting! To just engage his brain, once in a while and instead of playing a game, take a picture!!

Dad's... Take a dam picture. Take the shot of mum playing with the baby, of mum napping with the toddler, of mum making memories with her kids. She has taken loads of you and one day, you may regret not taking the time, to recognise a moment.
