This is why dads should never, EVER be left in charge of the Elf on the Shelf

We are two days into Elf on the Shelf season.

Which can also be translated into: 22 more days of elf-related creativity for mums across the globe before we once more get to send that little guy (or girl) packing for the North Pole once more. Normally, when it comes to parenting tasks, we are all for delegating, but as these images prove, there is a good reason why you should never leave dad in charge of moving the jolly little guy – no matter how tired you are feeling, mamas. Just take a look: 1. Throwing money at Stripper Bratz There are no words. 2. Do you want to grate a snowman...? If you want to scar your kids for life, maybe. 3. Hostage elf This might give them ideas.. 4. Car crash elf Just make sure you have saved up for their therapy sessions in the future. 5. Elf in trouble They'll be afraid to leave him alone again. 6. Killer elf He has a dark side, clearly. 7. Doing his business elf OK, so this one is kind of funny... 8. Caught red-handed elf Nothing is sacred anymore. 9. Netflix and chill elf This is just all sorts of wrong.
