VIDEO: Dad records every Saturday morning with his daughter - for three months

Dads - whenever your kid-less friends ask you what fatherhoods is 'really like', show them this. They can't say they haven't been warned.

A US dad used video app Vine to record every Saturday morning spent at home in the company of his daughter, for three months.

Now he's edited the highlights into a YouTube video - and this is what having kids actually looks like.

Manic energy levels? Check.

A succession of fairy/princess/Peppa Pig outfits? Check.

One Direction at top volume, all the time? Check.

More coffee? Check.

"Every Saturday morning, my daughters go to dance class," the dad - real name Tony - told Buzzfeed.

"My oldest goes with my wife first, leaving me home with youngest for an hour before I take her to her own dance class.

"She requests her playlist on Spotify EVERY Saturday morning. I started to film my reactions to her songs and dancing while I was checking my email and messages in the morning, having my coffee, or just generally trying to wake up on the weekend."

Tony has shucked off online criticisms of his parenting style, some commenters having pointed out that he could do more with his (adorable, if high-maintenance) daughter than slap on some tunes and leave her to her own devices.

"Of course, I added the annoyed look to make them funnier. My daughter DOES NOT annoy me."

"These Vines are such a snap shot of daily life, and are meant to entertain," he added.

"She's the best."
