Have you seen The Daddy Tag Challenge zip zapping across the internet? It’s a fab new challenge created by The Frenchie Mummy. I have had the pleasure of reading a number of these posts over on the #DreamTeam linky. So, after having a good chuckle at ‘The Daddy Tag – “Daddy Pig” makes his blog debut from Dawn over at Rhyming with Wine, I was excited to see that she had nominated Mr Button to join in with the fun. Woohoo!
As expected when I ambushed Mr Button his first thoughts were:
“I have got no choice have I!”
“Is that what you are putting down?”
“Was that an actual question?”
Riiiiight…. So anyway Mr Button… here we go.
Are you a Stay at Home Daddy or a Working Daddy?
I am a working daddy. *Smug smile.
Would you have it any other way?
*Looks up into the sky. I wouldn’t mind being at home. I think I would be a good house husband. *Laughs… then looks suddenly nervous.
Do you co-change dirty nappies? Even the very smelly ones?
I did. Yes. And the diarrhoea fiasco at Christmas. *Looks at me proudly.
Well done Mr Button. This happened when Little Button was 3 months old and feeling very poorly on Christmas Day.
A little fairy gives you the possibility of breastfeeding? Are you going for it or do you run away?
Sounds so painful.
What is the one must-have item for a daddy?
A jumperoo… looks fun.
Me: For you or the little one?
Mr Button: Both!
How many kids do you plan on having?
Undecided.
Lads’ nights? How often do you have them?
Never. Well not in years. Unless you count when everyone comes round to ours.
Your children’s/child’s favourite achievement?
Walking, and taking her first steps.
What is your best memory with your kid(s)?
When we got the really big paddling pool for the garden and we both got in. You were are work!
Mr Button: Remember I sent you all those photos to your email.
Me: Mmmhhmmm… I do remember. Little Button was thrilled. That was a lovely memory.
Name one thing you miss since being a daddy?
Nothing.
Me: Awwwwwwww!
Mr Button: Actually… I miss quiet time. *Finds this very funny.
Weight gain, before pregnancy, during, after and now? And we mean YOU DADDY, not the mummy!
Is that for you? Read the question again.
Me: Did you get fatter?
Mr Button: *Nods. In sympathy.
Dream holiday with your kids?
A trip back home to Cyprus.
Me: But is that a dream holiday?
Mr Button: Disneyland?
Dream holiday without your kids or even without the other half? (You’re allowed to dream)
A round the world trip.
How has your life changed since having kids?
Life has more meaning. *Smiles a huge winning smile.
Me: Awwwww that’s such a lovely thing to say.
Mr Button: It’s true.
Finish the sentence “It makes my heart melt when…”
What did Dawn’s husband say?
Me: I will tell you after.
Mr Button: When Little Button gives me hugs and kisses.
Me: Daddy Pig (aka Dawn’s husband) said… when the kids go to bed.
Mr Button: *Snorts with laughter.
Favourite beers brands and football team?
*Perks up. Obviously Tottenham Hotspurs. But do I have to choose a beer? I would say a nice whisky and coke on the rocks.
Huggies or Pampers?
We used Tesco’s. They didn’t leak.
Have you always wanted kids?
Yes.
Best part of being a dad?
Having unconditional love. *Smiles to himself.
Thank you for the nomination Dawn. Mr Button loved reading Daddy Pigs answers.

Brilliant! I definitely think that Daddy Pig and Mr Button would get on famously! Oh and I would also like a jumperoo. I mean seriously! They’re amazing! Thanks so much for picking up the tag and for mentioning our post lovely. Really enjoyed reading this and Mr Button sounds like a blog superstar! Dawn x
Me again! Thanks again for all the lovely comments in your post – Daddy pig was thrilled – and for hosting the brilliant #Dreamteam x
Lots of laughs reading this. They’re not half bad, these men of ours! Mr C struggled with the beer question too. Too. Many. Choices! Thanks for the nomination (it was my first ever blogging tag – fierce excitement!) Loved reading about Mr Button and Daddy Pig! 🙂
Ah what a great tag! Loved reading this xx #DreamTeam
So great to see this post on your linky! Thank you so much for doing it! As you said, he had no choice! LOL. Love that!
I so agree with him. The Jumperoo is such an essential! I can actually get on with my stuff because of it haha. SO many lovely answers! I love the way he wanted to know what Daddy Pig said! Did the two men actually meet? #thedaddytag #DREAMTEAM
Love these. Might have to rope Mr J in as he totally doesn’t get blogging!! #dreamteam
Haha this looks like so much fun! Might have to convince the hubby to give it a go. #dreamteam
I wouldn’t mind a jumparoo myself! #DreamTeam
Ahh I loved these answers, and who doesn’t love a jumperoo! I would have one too if I could! :- ) #dreamteam
Haha I love it Mr button 🙂 my other half did the wonderful daddy tag too. It’s so great finding out some of the Daddy’s inner thoughts 🙂 #Dreamteam
Life has more meaning – what a wonderful thing to say! Great tag post – well done Daddy! #DreamTeam
This is such a fun idea! Loved reading your answers #DreamTeam
I love reading such tag posts, I enjoyed reading all of the answers #dreamteam
Awww, some lovely answers. The nappy one made me laugh! Holding on to a hero daddy moment years later 🙂 I want an adult jumperoo.
#dreamteam
Just popping back from #DreamTeam as I read your post when you tweeted us the other day (I should really comment when I read them so that you know I’ve read it, ha!!). Some great answers from Mr Buttons, I need to get Mr Latey – whoops! I mean Mr Lighty – to do his!! xxx
I would love a jumparoo too! I love reading the daddy tags #dreamteam
Awww! I love these posts! He sounds like a lovely Daddy! #dreamteam
I think a Jumperoo is on most people’s ‘would like’ list! #dreamteam
You should do more of these, really fun to read!! 🙂 A jumperoo is a definite thing you should have in every single house. They let me have a shower!!
Loved reading this, thanks for a giggle!
#DreamTeam
Mr Button sounds ace! I have seen the adult equivalent of a jumperoo in town it is a giant harnessed bungee trampoline… maybe if one comes to a town near you Mr Button could be granted his wish! Xx #DreamTeam

I really enjoyed reading this. We so often hear the mum’s side of bringing up the babies – I love hearing the male approach. I can recommend a trip around the world with the kids – start saving, it’s amazing 🙂 Alison x #DreamTeam
Aww what a nice little tag. Such great questions! I loved reading this and I loved Mr Buttons answers, very sweet. I wonder if my Mr would say the same 😉 Emily #DreamTeam
I got nominated to do this by someone else so really need to get on and do it. I’m intrigued as to what his answers will be. It’s nice to get an insight into their minds aswell. #DreamTeam
These daddy tag challenges are pretty darn adorable.
#dreamteamlinky
Aww I love this. My husband did it last week and it was so interesting to hear his answers. I love that your husband thinks a jumperoo looks like fun, I often think an adult jumperoo would be pretty awesome! #dreamteam
Such a cute interview! Daddy Button sounds like a star #DreamTeam
Hahaha I LOVE Mr Button’s answers and the way you have written them Annette. Very entertaining and he sounds like an awesome daddy! Tor xx #Dreamteam
Awww, what lovely answers! Having unconditional love is the best part of being a parent, full stop. #dreamteam
Aw, he gave some lovely answers! I love ‘What did Dawn’s husband say?’. Gorgeous photos too #dreamteam
Excellent, I’d love a jumperoo for me too!
#DreamTeam
Lovely interview. I love these tags are a great way to get to know the whole family! #dreamteam

Great answers by Mr Button #dreamteam
This is so funny! Loved the answers and the way you wrote it… classic!
And who wouldn’t want a go in a jumperoo!

Seeing these I am curious as to what answers my hubby would give. Thanks for an insight into your husbands thoughts. #DreamTeam
Aww this is so sweet xx #DreamTeam
Ah this is nice. The paddling pool day does sound like a lovely memory. The Christmas diarrhea not so much. #dreamlinky
Ah so sweet! #dreamteam
it really is true, life has more meaning #dreamteam
I love this! Think I may have to get my husband to have a go! #DreamTeam xx
Aww such cute answers – I love the laughter in between too 🙂 This is a great tag, fab to hear it from the other half’s perspective! I’m so curious what my other half would say…Thanks for hosting #dreamteam with me xx
Haha!! I would love to get my OH involved but I don’t think he would be as accommodating as Mr Button in answering the questions! He sounds like a keeper :). Thanks for hosting #DreamTeam xx
Isn’t this just lovely? Bits of this made me giggle such as his ‘winning smile’ and when he snorted with laughter at Dawn’s hubby’s response. I asked hubby whether he’ll do it an to my amazement he said yes. #dreamteam
hurrah! so happy to see it on other linkies #brilliantblogposts
