Dads, you are the parent in charge of extreme activities, the parent who will always serve as the first horsie, the parent who will most likely get set on fire, and the parent who will fill their kids minds with wild ideas. And all of those qualities together make you dads certified agents of chaos in the household. But hey, what is quite without chaos to compare it to. What is peace without conflict.

We need the balance of ying and yang in our lives to make our lives the special adventures they are. And we have the dads of the world to thank for the madness and maelstrom they inevitably cause while parenting their children. So dads stand tall and be proud of your place in the family, and enjoy this collection of posts that prove that you are the Tasmanian devils of your home. Just remember you are liable to clean up the messes you have made.

  • Oh dang, this house must have had a whole heap of chaos come raining down on it in the hours and days following this release of frustration. This dad should have been informed about using equally confusing and annoying questions to get his kids of quieten down. The kind of questions that seriously stump them.

    Public Library Adam Gaylord @AuthorGaylord Me Pre-Kids: I'm never gonna lie to my kids ever. Me with Kids: I just got off the phone with Santa, the firefighter dog from Paw Patrol, and the Green Power Ranger, and they all agree, if you don't put your shoes on, they're gonna have to put down another unicorn.

    Mike G. Fejes @fejesmg I was unable to find child care for my daughter this week so we have been hanging out. Today, I took her for a 5km run/bike ride (I try to run and she bikes). Halfway, she looked at me and said "this is the best day of my life daddy".... If anyone needs me, I am out buying a pony.

    Sydney Battle @SydneyBattle my parents are fighting bc my mom was letting a big spider live in the kitchen window bc he's "perfect for halloween" and my dad killed it. 4:57 PM 10/6/21 Twitter for iPhone 000

  • You know it is funny, because chaos, much like love is in the eye of the beholder. And if you are a mother who has kept a spider around due to fright and covered up your fear with some lame reason, then yeah. Compared to your paralysis, going ahead and unaliving the spider is pretty chaotic.
