You’ll do anything for that little rascal. Until that dragon decides to share your secrets with the whole schoolyard.
Luc (29), father of Anna-Sophie (11) and Layla-Rose (8):
“My wife had evening shift and in the afternoon girlfriend Sandra would come to visit us, not convenient for our daughter to plan a play date.
Once in class I wanted to repeat this with Anne-Sophie, who was five at the time. I asked, “Remember what we agreed on this afternoon?” Says Anne-Sophie, in the middle of a full kindergarten class: ‘Yes daddy, I know, your girlfriend will come when mommy is gone.’ I felt compelled to explain this remark to the other parents present.”
Highly esteemed teacher
Lian (45), mother of Juliëtte (13) and Arinka (11):
“Twenty years ago I started just as a teacher in the lower years. One of the toddlers in my class spontaneously exclaimed: ‘My dad thinks you’re hot!’ I felt honored.

Mum and the dads
Anouska (33), mother of Sofie (5) and Tijn (4):
“In a crowded schoolyard I called my daughter Sofie with the words: ‘Come on baby, we’re going home quickly because daddy is coming soon!’ Sofie shouted all over the square: ‘Which daddy?’ Um… she only has one. She lives with us as long as she lives. But because of her strange reaction, other mothers looked at me as if I brought a different father home every weekend.”
That you already know
Marisa (32), mother of Kasper (9):
“We really wanted to leave earlier to avoid the winter sports traffic jam. My husband and I discussed that we would just report Kasper sick for two days, so as not to have to arrange anything with leave notes. He promptly enters the classroom the next day: ‘Miss, I’ll be sick next Thursday and Friday, so I won’t be there.’”
