Grover's Mommy uses a "funny old helmet" that his daddy brought home.

While the exploits of Grover's mother have been well documented [1], his father is a being of particular puzzlement. Given the lack of evidence, one would surmise that the patriarchal figure in Grover's life is largely absent.

More often than not, Grover's parentage is covered largely on the illustrated page, with an occasional appearance on screen from time to time. A rare mention of Grover's dad appeared in the pages of The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover, in a story about the secret origin of Super Grover.

In that story, it's revealed that Grover's mommy made Grover's outfit as a Halloween costume, using "an old towel, a funny old helmet that Grover's daddy had brought home, and a few other odds and ends." [2]

Grover's daddy is not pictured, and given the phrasing, it's not clear what author Emily Perl Kingsley meant to imply about Grover's relationship with his dad. The sentence seems to suggest a number of possibilities that may include the three monsters living together, visitation rights, or the idea that Grover may never have even met his father.
