My children love me and think I'm very funny when I do "childish" things to make them laugh and when I tell funny jokes.
But quite often, my wife would scold me and say " Dear, stop acting like a kid !" I think she's embarrassed that other ppl are looking . To me , I say "Who cares. I'm having fun with my kids."
I can't help thinking that men generally have a better sense of humor than women.
My prove of this hypothesis : Men tend to give credit to funny answers in this portal (myself included) , but I find the females do not quite enjoy funny answers which also makes sense and give less 'stars' in the rating. Agree or disagree ? Why?

What is wrong with clowning around with the kids? I clown around with mine all of the time. My wife laughs harder than anyone else! I guess she still thinks I have the old charm! I think your wife should be happy that you are interested in family life and like to have fun with your kids. It is what they will remember when they are older and will appreciate how good you made their lives. Do not worry about what others think, unless they make your mortgage payments!
I think that some men have a better sense of humor than women. Not all! My wife is just as funny as I am. Shh! I think she is funnier! Our home is always howling with laughter. It just makes life a whole lot easier! Have fun with your kids!

It's her way of letting you know that she wants you to be more of a disciplinarian, which is difficult to do when your authority is undermined by you behaving more like a "friend" than a father to your children. This isn't to say that you can't have fun with your kids...of course you should. But just make sure you're not subconsciously crossing that fine line into "friend" territory. Otherwise, your children are more likely to walk all over you and not accept your authority as a parent. For the first 18 years of your kids' lives you need to be a father first. The friend part comes after you are both adults.

first of all, most dad's these days don't spend enough time with their children, let alone having fun with them, and making them laugh ! I think you sound like a great dad, and your wife and children are fortunate to have you ! just tell your wife to be proud of her clown!!! if she really can't get past it, get her some dark glasses and a wig! either way, keep having fun with your kids, you're making memories with them that will last forever. and by the way, I'm female, and I'm the funny one in the family!
Best Wishes, and Keep the kids Laughing!

I happen to have a vagina and think I have a good sense of humor.
I think you should have fun and "clown around" with your kids while you can, they're not gonna be little forever. And you can't exactly clown around with a 24 year old, that's just creepy.
Maybe your wife is embarassed that you do it in public. Just do it when she's not around =] Or tone it down. Whatev.

Not really so that woman are less humor. I think your wife is slightly more toward the discipline type of woman. Try not only to play with the kids alone, but also let her join in the fun. I think she will slowly get use to it, and enjoy all the fun and humor with you.

You are not doing anything wrong, I am a female and I think that is sweet. Be a father to them and play with them if you want, even if you are being silly and goofy.
As for your wife, I don't know what you do exactly, but maybe tone it down a little bit when you are out in public for your her sake. A little bit of compromise goes a long way in the relationship.

I for one, love a funny guy. I think what you're doing is right...have fun with your kids while they still wanna have fun with you..once they start becoming a teenager then that's it. Cherish it.
I laugh with my husband and kids when he does silly stuff...I myself does it to have an enjoyable time together ( I even learned soccer so I can play with my eldest).
There are lots of times to be serious especially once the kids are older....
However, be serious with your wife. =)

i love the funny answers...i always have a good laugh when i read 'em...
clowning around with the kids should not be stopped...it is good for them... people need to have a good sense of humour to enjoy life... at least that's my opinion... ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH KIDS!!! your wife needs to lighten up a little
