How He Is As a Father

<strong style="outline: none 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 4px; display: inline-block;">Harry: He’s the typical awkward enthusiastic dad who embarrasses his daughter without meaning to, spoils her rotten, and loves her with all his heart. He’s always gentle and patient—never raising his voice. To calm her down, he sings and at the sound of his voice, she stops whatever she’s doing to listen.

<strong style="outline: none 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 4px; display: inline-block;">Zayn: He’s the overprotective father with the motto ‘better safe than sorry’. His most treasured possessions are you and his children and he’ll do anything to keep you all safe. Constantly reminding his boys to wear knee pads, elbow pads, helmets, seatbelts, sunscreen, bug-spray, anything and everything that has even the tiniest ability to protect them.

<strong style="outline: none 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 4px; display: inline-block;">Niall: He’s the understanding dad, supporting his daughter and son with their every decision (as long as they’re appropriate). He’s all for following dreams and discovering new paths in life and he encourages them. He’s also the sympathetic dad with open arms and comforting hugs when those dreams sometimes go off course.

<strong style="outline: none 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 4px; display: inline-block;">Louis: He’s the fun father with the omnipresent smile and warm eyes. He’s always ready to entertain—tickling, chasing, and laughing with his daughters. He’s often the model of your three little girls’ games of dress-up, having to wear gaudy lipstick, pink tutus, and bows. But he never complains and has just as much fun seeing them smile as they do dressing him up.

<strong style="outline: none 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: 4px; display: inline-block;">Liam: He’s the super involved dad, present for each football game, choir concert, and performance. His family is his life. He’s terrified his kids will grow up too fast, so he makes sure he’s there for every event possible, blanketing them with his love.
