Being a single parent is hard, but these dads are showing the world how it's done by going the extra mile for their kids.
Single dads have unique challenges, especially when it comes to raising girls, who might find it hard to relate to a male role model sometimes. Taking a little nail polish for the team is always a quick fix, though, and learning how to braid hair like a boss is helpful as well. Even while working hard to provide for their little families, these dads find time to play.
Barack Obama once said that "any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father. It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father." If you're a single dad raising your children with courage, add your sweetest moments with them below!
