Ben Affleck Suffers Same Fate As Dads of Daughters Everywhere

Jennifer Garner says she can always tell when husband Ben Affleck was left to his own devices with daughter Violet's hair. It comes out looking like a rat's nest.

Hey dads, sound familiar?

“You can always tell when he has been at it, just two random barrettes hanging in there. It’s so sweet," Garner told InStyle.

She could have been talking about my husband. He was over the moon when I gave birth to a little girl (which - despite us not finding out prior to delivery - he just "knew" was going to happen), but when she started sprouting enough hair to require clippies and ponytail holders, he was lost.

"It doesn't ever do what I want it to do," he tells me. "I just don't have the patience for it." This coming from a guy who once had hair past his shoulders. But his was super fine, super straight hair, hair that never needed to be brushed out with no more tangles spray after a night of rolling around on a crib mattress, hair that never needed to be secured in two little braids hanging down his back.

Some guys get hair and are perfectly adept at handling their daughter's locks. More are like my husband - facing a major learning curve after years of just not caring what their head looks like (because after years of long hair, his is now shaved in a Marine-like buzz - he does nothing more than shampoo daily). In our house it's particularly funny because it's the bald mother who has been showing Dad the ropes, teaching him about where on the head to place a ponytail (Not too high, this isn't the eighties. Not too low - she isn't an aging hippie) and how to brush out tangles without yanking on the scalp.

I'll give credit where credit is due. He tries. If he's the parent getting her ready for the day, her hair is at least brushed, albeit with a clip stuck at a random angle - kind of like Violet Affleck's.

Dads, did you jump over the curve after your daughters were born or do you turn out girls who sport the ragamuffin look in the morning?

Poor Peter Andre. I'm guessing that he didn't marry a skanky, dirigible-boobed glamour model so that he could limit his sexual activity to once or twice a month.

First, Jordan - the skanky, dirigible-boobed glamour model in question - announces that she's getting a breast reduction. From quadruple D's to double D's, but still. A reduction is a reduction. If you buy the Goodyear blimp, you don't want it downsizing itself to a mere hot-air balloon. Then she announces to the world that dear hubbie isn't getting any unless it's her, um, fertile time, and that if he manages to sperminate her, he won't get any for the duration of the pregnancy. Burn!

Next thing you know, she'll swear off sex all together and start wearing turtlenecks. Someone should call in Pam Anderson - she could tell Jordan that a girl doesn't have to stop being skanky just because she becomes a mom. I'll bet Peter Andre would pay good money for that.

There are a lot of Violets rolling at Famecrawler these days:

Ben and Violet Affleck took in some park action. You may notice that Violet isn't wearing her normal Crocs, but a pair of boots to go with the overall warmer outfit. Even Dad is wearing a hoodie. Fall is in the air. The highs in L.A. today were in the 70's. It's like we skipped fall and went straight to winter. Don't you think she needs a scarf, Ben?

Whatever you think of celebrity parents these days, there are many who seem quite lovely (Jennifer Garner and Angelina Jolie, for example). Of course, Britney makes us collectively cringe, but what about Kate Moss?

Britney Spears is a "troubled" mother it seems. Cousin Alli might play a crucial role in her kids being taken away from her.
Angelina Jolie may not eat much, but you can't fault her for saving the world's children one adoption at a time
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck seem like such good normal parents. It's hard to believe they're celebrities
