Dad-Core

Being a Dad is tough. Being a Dad that stays home,..that requires you to become Dad-core! Dad-core Dad's can be seen pushing the tank that is the side by side stroller along the side of the road and yes, up hills. They are always equipped with their ration bag,..which consists of raisins, dried fruit loops, and the occasional raw fruit. Dad-core Dad's go to story time at the library, even though they are the only male there. Dad-core Dad's try to hold their head up high as they pass their "tank" past the workers with their hard hats and and reflective gear as they engage in earning man points by hard labour. Being Dad-core requires you to also wear the hat of resident bum-wiper/diaper changer (it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.) Gone are the days of relaxing on the couch as the little ones scurry around, becoming Dad-core requires you to gain a whole new level of perceptions. Like a ninja. Dad-core Dad's no longer bask in the silence of their kids,..no they are immediately suspicious and have been know to break up rings of wall graffiti and the ever popular game "sink the brand new toilet paper roll." They also know how to contain any and all arguments with a flick of the remote control.(take that elmo!) Dad-core dads are also pre programmed with every answer to the question "why?" they handle blow-outs and blow ups, can fix a mean chocolate milk with ease and always have a supply of chicken nuggets in the freezer. Yes, being Dad-core is not easy, but the benefits are priceless, there's those times where.........wait the kids are being too quiet I have to go....
