20 #DadTip Tweets to Teach Dads a Thing or Two
You know I like a good tip. I’ve tried to hand some out here (take the deal, use coupons and take advantage of sales, etc.) but I don’t have all the answers.
So, I spent some time on Twitter today, scrolling back through tweets tagged with #DadTip to see what knowledge other internet dads have been sharing. Some of them are serious, some are jokes, some are common sense, and some are things I never would have though about until it was too late (crayons). Have a look at the list, check out the tweeting dads to see if you wanna give them a follow – and share any quick tips you have using #DadTip on Twitter, or by leaving a comment at the bottom of the post.
Enjoy!
1. LIFE SKILLS ARE NOT GENDER SPECIFIC
Dad Tip: Teach your son to cook, sew on a button, and how to shop for groceries. Likewise teach your daughter to change a tire, jumpstart a car, and to use a skill saw. These are life skills! #dadtip

2. This. Every single time. This.

3. Wishing all of your children good health – but who doesn’t love a good beard?
#DadTip when you take your child to the doctor and your spouse wants to know the diagnosis ALWAYS say it’s Lumberjack disease.
When asked the symptoms, let them know that your child will have a full beard by age 8.
Moms love it!

8. Art.
#dadtip if you need a Mother’s Day gift from your kid(s) and don’t know what to get. Eat some edibles and start painting. Moms will think it’s the kids art and love it 😉
