Father Of 4 Daughters Refuses To Sugarcoat His Instagram Pics, Takes Internet By Storm

If other people's perfect photos make you feel bad about yourself, it's because they don't show the reality! That's why Simon Hooper, father of 4 daughters, decided to show what parenting really looks like. The result? Now he has more than 190k Instagram followers, and they're growing like crazy.

“My whole account is to show a realistic view of what parenting is like from a parent’s perspective,” the dad told HuffPost. “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.”

His oldest daughter is 9, another is 6, and 10 months ago he and his wife welcomed two beautiful twins. Now Simon is “a handy man, taxi driver, swimming instructor, tutor, chef, counsellor, human climbing frame, bank, personal shopper and PA.”

This week my eldest has been doing sex education at school. Shes very mature about it & having a midwife as a mum, they know a lot more than your average kid, no 'front bottoms' or 'nunnys' in this house, it's strictly a 'vagina' affair (which coincidently would be a great title for a drama series on TV) That said, she's chosen tonight (when @mother_of_daughters is away) to ask questions about men which makes me feel like an embarrassed child, but i promised to tell her the truth. My personal favourites - "do you wear a condom daddy?" Me - "Yes". Then why do you have so many children? Touchè. "Have you and mummy had sex more than 3 times?" I laughed proudly - "Way more......like at least 9 or 10 times" ( I didn't want to come across as a sex crazied maniac). Can wait to until she asks if I've ever masturbated.....I will actually curl up in a ball and die #sexeducation #shestheadultimthechild #sheknowsmorethanme #dontaskaboutmasturbationorilldie #ivedoneitloads #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife #parenting

Tomorrow is international day of the girl and I, more than most, am celebrating. I might be heavily outnumbered and outgunned, but I'm celebrating because my girls are strong independent young ladies that are growing up in a world that they can do anything they put their mind to (with a little encouragement). We strive for equality and see women as equals (and in my case, as superiors!). That said, in many places girls are seen as second class citizens and have limited opportunities to reach their full potential. This has to change. Go kiss your girls goodnight & encourage them everyday to reach for the stars. Tag a strong girl and share. #mygirlswearthetrousers #daughters #dayofthegirl #girlsareequals #girlsarestrong #sisters #mygirls #girlsareamazing #beproudofyoudaughters #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife

Is it only me or do all men learn to sleep on an 8 inch strip at the edge of the bed? Irrespective of the size of the bed, or how many people are in it, I always find myself relegated to the 'man zone'. I've become so used to sleeping on this limited area of bed real estate, that I'm confident that I could sleep on top of a wall & not fall off. On the other side of the bed (the promised land), @mother_of_daughters sleeps like a star fish all night long, kneeing me in the back and generally complains about me coming to bed too late, being too cold or my foot encroaching onto her territory. At least the bed's nice and warm, even if the reception isn't sometimes! I hope that next Sunday, on #NationalLieInDay, I'll not only gain another hour in bed, but more space - but it's doubtful ! If you want to regain that hour (and some space for that matter) click in the link in my bio, loads of great prizes to be won @SimbaSleep #bedrealestate #livingontheedge #girls #twins #daughters #therestoomanygirls #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad #gopro

Clemmie gave me a pretty simple job this evening - "go pack the baby bag" (we're going away for a night). A plan developed in my head (why can't I take anything seriously?!) I called her in - "well you said pack the baby bag!!", expecting a laugh. She didn't. I then suggested cutting holes in the bottom for their legs to hang out like those dog carriers but @mother_of_daughters was already less than pleased that i'd used her prized leather @kerikitbags for lols, so with my tail between my legs, I repacked. A shed load of nappies, baby crack (milk powder), toys they won't play with & a monitor - There was still enough room for half my family in there! #bottomlessbabybag #mobiletwins #howmuchstuffdobabiesneed #fatherofdaughters #dadlife #instadad

Teething is now in full effect and the girls want us to know all about it. An email would have sufficed but it seems they'd rather use their voices to get the message across that they really aren't enjoying this stage of development. Its not straight screaming, it's more like the sound a wounded animal might make that just wants to end it all. I can't blame them though, it's like a mini scene from 'Alien' in there at the moment, just in very very slow motion (and of course teeth don't then go on to kill you and the crew of your ship so a few subtle differences but essentially the same). #canyoubulkbuybonjela #teethinglikealien #twins #thisisntfunforanyone #doubleteethingisnotdoublethefun #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife #daddydentist

Developed a New product this evening - child shoes. They cost a fortune, stop you from achieving anything, age you dramatically, are never clean despite washing them regularly and never go in the direction you ask them to. Come to think about it, these sound terrible. Back to the drawing board..... #childshoes #theywillneversell # #dadlife #fatherofdaughters #instadad #thesethingsweighatonne #bedtime

After long day of walking around and playing, The twins needed a bath and I needed a wash so day 2 of #dadtakeover ended like this. (I dont run baths just for myself...I'm a man after all). In theory this sharing of a bath was a good idea. In reality it felt like I was an uninvited blue whale who'd gatecrashed a private spa for small people. If looks from babies could kill, I'd have been dead for sure. Strategically placed flannels were used in the taking of this picture. (And yes I took the picture on a tripod before people ask! Im on my own!) On to day 3. #uninvitedbluewhale #bathtime #yesthishappened #yesitookthisphotograph #family #notsuchagoodidea #twins #parenting #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife

If there is one thing that us dads are good for its being used as a mobile human climbing frame. We're practicing our routine for britain's got talent, the talent being how many family members can hang off me (kind of a real life buckaroo game) before I slip a disc and crumple into a pathetic mess crying like a child who's grazed their knee for the first time. Now all I need it for @mother_of_daughters to get on my back and the twins to rest of my shoulders and the award is surely mine. Come see us on the BGT tour next year. #dadclimbingframe #buckaroo #whyisitalwaysmedoingthis #backofan80yearold #thighsofapowerlifted #fatherofdaughters #instadad #dadlife

Ronda Rousey Breaks Silence After Getting Destroyed By Amanda Nunes In 48 Seconds

Despite coming into the fight in unbelievable shape, Ronda Rousey got the beating of her life at the hands of Amanda Nunes. The fight was oddly promoted with a massive pro-Ronda ad campaign and a complete absence of press commitments. It was framed as Ronda not wanting to talk the the press so she could prepare. Based on the end result of Friday night’s bout, her preparation didn’t extend beyond getting an even more smoking hot body.

Rousey finally spoke though after failing to show up to her post-fight press conference (and most would say the fight itself) following her loss to Amanda Nunes. The UFC 207 bout lasted a laughable 48-seconds after Nunes treated Ronda’s face like the punching bag Ronda should have been practicing on. Maybe Ronda should try her luck in the WWE next. Or you know, go to a real MMA camp that will teach her how to not get punched in the head.

Humiliated once again, Rousey fled the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas choosing not to engage with the media. Speaking to ESPN in a statement, the fighter said:

“I want to say thank you to all of my fans who have been there for me in not only the greatest moments but in the most difficult ones. Words cannot convey how much your love and support means to me.”

She continued:

“Returning to not just fighting, but winning, was my entire focus this past year. However, sometimes – even when you prepare and give everything you have and want something so badly – it doesn’t work how you planned.”

Ronda continued:

“I take pride in seeing how far the women’s division has come in the UFC and commend all the other women who have been part of making this possible, including Amanda.”

 She concluded:

“I need to take some time to reflect and think about the future. Thank you for believing in me and understanding.”

Popular Teen Model Shares Courageous Photo To Shame Modelling Industry

It’s safe to conclude that teen model Barbie Ferreira has made a big impact in 2016. Earlier in the year she showed us that she’s got nothing to hide, when taking part in a Photoshop-free ad campaign called #AerieREAL. And now she has returned- this time teaching us all to be confident in ourselves, while calling out the fashion industry for its awful double standards.

This all started when the 19-year-old posted a photo of her stretch marks to Instagram, sticking with the theme of having nothing to hide and being proud of one’s appearance. While many of her fans were quick to praise her for the courage she showed, she posted again later that day to discuss an incident that happened to her on the set of a photoshoot.

Teen Model Modelling Industry #2

Barbie wrote:

After I posted the picture of my stretch marks, not even a few hours later I was stood naked at work in front of strangers (super vulnerable position) and got asked what was wrong with my hips.. Pointing at my stretch marks. By a woman.

She added:

Id be lying through my teeth if I didn’t say micro-aggressions like this don’t happen on the daily for me in this industry. And like I always do, I choke back the tears and keep going like nothing happened.

Teen Model Modelling Industry #3

Ferreira explained that those who work within the industry still have not fallen in line with the body positivity movement, which she has been working tirelessly to promote.

She said:

This industry is not cute, never has been. I don’t want to sell you this idea that all these brands are so body positive when it’s so few that actually represent what women look like not just an idealized version of a thick girl (like they try to do to me.)

She added:

girls are not treated like people in this industry !! At all !!

Teen Model Modelling Industry #4

Barbie also went on to claim that the industry have been forcing runway models who put on even one inch of weight around their hips to ‘starve themselves’.

She said:

“Not only the consumer is being told they’re not good enough – even the girls in the pictures are given the same shit”

Many props to Barbie for having the confidence to speak on what many of us are thinking. Hopefully this horrific attitude from the modelling industry towards curvier models and people in general will change sooner rather than later. We don’t need another generation of young women who are miserable because they feel they need to conform to standards of beauty that aren’t even real.

25 Celebrities Who Got Away With Major Crimes Thanks To Top Defense Lawyers

Some criminal defense attorneys are able to work miracles. With the right group of attorneys, it is possible to get out of nearly any type of crime. As long as you've got the money to hire a good lawyer you can even get out of murder. Being famous helps too. Don't believe it? Check out these 25 celebrities who just received a slap on the wrist for breaking the law, when they should have done jail time! #1 and #2 were found not guilty of murder even though they had evidence!

"Snoop Dogg was arrested and put on trial in connection with the death of Philip Woldermariam, a member of a rival gang, after his bodyguard McKinley Lee shot and killed him back in 1993. Even though the rapper had been driving the vehicle from which the shooting commenced, Snoop and his bodyguard were acquitted of murder charges on the grounds of self-defense thanks to their dream team of lawyers." One of the defense lawyers was super attorney David Kenner. As long as you're a famous rapper, you can obviously get out of murder. Congratulations Snoopy.

#24 Justin Bieber

Bieber has certainly caused a great deal of trouble in his short career. This guy got Bieber out of some hefty charges including vandalism and assault. His lawyer, Roy Black, has been there and done that when it comes to representing celebrities. He's worked with Joe Francis, Peter Max and William Kennedy Smith. What will he do next?

#23 Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg was arrested for beating up a blind man and nearly killing him. He recently showed extremely cockiness when he sought out a pardon. Of course, the prosecution lawyer, Judith Beals, insists he didn't deserve it and he was able to escape the charge without doing any jail time. Beating a man blind is certainly non-reprehensible.

#22 Robert Blake

"On May 4, 2001 Actor Robert Blake and then-wife Bonnie Lee Bakley were having dinner at Vitello's, a favorite Italian diner. They parked several blocks away in a dark area near a dumpster. After dinner, Blake escorted Bakely back to the car. According to Blake, he realized that he left a handgun he was carrying back at the restaurant. When he returned to the car, he says he found her shot in the head." Robert Blake had a showboat of an attorney in Thomas Mesereau. Mesereau put on one heck of a show, confused the jury and helped Blake walk free. Guess you can't really ask for more than that, huh?

#21 Paris Hilton

Model and Actress Paris Hilton has had her fair share of run-ins with the law. One of the most memorable is the time she backed her Range Rover into a Honda Civic and drove away without leaving a note. In California, it is a crime to damage a parked car and drive off without leaving a note. A misdemeanor crime that is punishable by a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Paris didn’t have to do any jail time or pay a fine. Paris did the same thing a few years later with her Bentley. I guess if you have money, you can get out of anything!

#20 R. Kelly

Singer R. Kelly has been in and out of trouble but mostly out of it. With the assistance of his criminal defense attorneys, Sam Adam, Sam Adam Jr, and Edward Genson, Kelly was able to beat child pornography charges and supposedly peeing on the victims. However this isn't the only time Kelly has been in trouble.

#19 Don King

Boxing promoter Don King killed two men in separate incidents. King killed the first man in self-defense when the man was trying to break into his gambling operation. King was charged with second-degree murder for the second incident, in which he stomped to death an employee who owed him $600. Boy oh boy, Don King has been in a ton of legal trouble and has faced many court trials. Charles E. Lomax, who represented King, should certainly be credited for having superb skills. Despite being convicted of second degree murder in 1966, King only ended up serving 4 years in prison and is still out and about and robbing professional boxers.

#18 Robert Downey, Jr.

Robert Downey Jr.’s was let off very lightly on more than one occasion for crimes that would see most non-celebs spending some serious time in the slammer. After spending almost a year in a substance abuse treatment facility and state prison, Downey Jr. was released early due to the fact that he had served time based on his orginal 1996 arrests. On a later occasion in 2000, Downey Jr. was apprehended after he was discovered in possession and under the influence of controlled substances following an anonymous tip-off and was put on parole. In 2001 he was discovered wandering around Culver City barefoot under the influence. Tests showed he had cocaine in his system, but was released and absolutely no charges were laid. Sure, RDJ got in trouble on numerous occasions, but there were also instances where his fame no doubt aided him in getting off easy.

#17 Rebecca Gayheart

Rebecca Gayheart hit and killed a 9 year old boy in 2001, was found not guilty of murder and paid a $2,800 fine and went on her merry way. Now, she's formed a close relationship with her attorney, Laura Wasser.

#16 Britney Spears

Britney Spears was caught driving with her 4-month-old son, sitting on her lap, without a child restraint. California law requires drivers to secure children sitting in the front seat who are under a year old or under 20 pounds. A violation is punishable by a fine of $100. She did not have to pay a nickel. Also in 2007 Britney Spears was charged with a hit and run accident after hitting a parked vehicle and driving without a valid licence. No fine or punishment there. I guess the court and judge were huge Britney fans.

#15 50 Cent

Some celebrities know how to handle their own troubles. 50 Cent certainly did, when he turned snitch and transformed a nine year sentence into a six month stay for selling drugs. Wow, what a guy. Selling crack isn't for everyone.
