Fun Dad

Pure dopamine dad

Energy · Mischief · Laughter

When you walk in, your kids cheer and your partner sighs. We both know it.

What this archetype looks like

You bring energy, play and lightness into the house. Your kids may remember you as the parent who made life feel fun and safe. The good part is warmth and joy. The hard part is that rules, structure and hard conversations may fall to someone else. That can create tension with your partner over time. What helps is keeping the fun, but also showing up for discipline, repair and the less easy parts of parenting.
