Dads are a special breed, don’t you think?
They’re at once dashing and nerdy, encouraging and protective, immature and yet so old. It happens to the best of men when their first child appears in the world and honestly, it makes them a little bit better.
A fact these 15 men seem to realize, because they’re really leaning into the whole experience.
15. How else will he be able to say “do you know what our electric bill is?”
And “are you gotta get a job and pay it?”
Actually, I’m going to change my answer to “counted the number of light bulbs that were on in the house at the same time, and reported the number to the occupants in an accusatory fashion.”

14. Yeah that definitely happened.
But I’d be willing to bet they’re all used to it.
I *may* have offered an opinion on my son’s wrist x-ray to a group of medical professionals

13. They always find a way to kill your alone time.
Even if they’re not there, right?!
Was afforded a half-hour of peace while my wife and kids picked up breakfast this morning; spent it unlocking the bedroom my son locked us out of as they were leaving

12. I know what’s going in that kid’s stocking this Christmas.
Portable jump boxes are the best thing since sliced bread.
Without complaint, went out to rescue my future son-in-law from his dead car when it was a good 20 below … after I was already in bed for the night.

11. It’s a rite of passage.
But not one anyone really wants to complete.
I’ve developed a tendency to groan when I get in and out of the car.

10. Welcome to the club, sir.
It’s not very stylish here but we’re all okay with that.
I have begun wearing clothes that are comfortable without care for how it looks.

9. You gotta make good time.
Nothing else is more important.
on longer road trips, I have gotten excited when there is a tailwind

8. Sometimes you gotta pull rank.
Before you pull a muscle playing running back.

7. I know this happens to everyone.
But literally music sucks now.
lamented the passing of music’s golden age

6. My husband is currently using this line, but with a grill.
We’re making hamburgers inside this summer yay.
Refused to buy a snowblower until late March (through one of the snowiest winters in Minnesota history), because I wanted to “get one on an end of season sale.”

5. It will be years before he admits his mistake.
But also he will start calling professionals from now on.
I insisted on crawling under the house to install some fans to dry out excess moisture, because, “it can’t be that complicated.”
After multiple trips into a very small crawl space, and serval hundred dollars, I think my wood floors are ruined and my house might have mold.

4. It’s only charming when dads do it.
And only marginally so, then.
As the lady at the grocery store checkout scanned the banknote to make sure it wasn’t counterfeit, I asked her “I did a good job with this one, didn’t I?!”

3. Not that there’s anything wrong with the way tween girls dress, right?
You’ll learn, sir. Especially if you have daughters.
I complained that bunnies ate my dianthus flowers and accused all men under 30 of dressing like tween girls.

2. This one’s a classic.
And one dads always regret but will never admit it.
Moved houses and hired movers to move “the heavy stuff,” but decided I could move the rest of it myself with a U-Haul because, quote, “I’m not paying guys to carry my goddamn towels around.”

1. Hahaha this is my favorite one yet!
Who does that?!

If you’re gonna do something, might as well go all out, right?
