Fatherhood For Dummies
Imagine the day after Fathers Day you find out what a terrible dad you were to your children. Well that just happened to me as someone pointed out the web site Fatherhood.Gov
Fatherhood.Gov is the government giving tips on how to be a dad.
Here is a good tip; Bike or walk to a park, trail, or other outdoor spot. Leaving the car at home will reduce carbon emissions and you will add exercise to your day without even trying.
Had I known how to be a good dad I would have suggested we walk to Mount Charleston Mountain that was just 40 miles one way from our house. I'm sure Stacey and Tyler would at that very moment said to me "what a good dad you are".
One other tip to being a good father: Tip, turn off the water when you brush your teeth in the morning and before bed time. You can save 8 gallons of water.
Just think, had I turned the water off when we were all brushing our teeth together they could have been nuclear physicist or the president of the United States by now. I guess having them brush after each meal in addition to in the morning and at bed time was a bad idea as well I hope they are not having nightmares over that.
Yet Another tip I completely messed up on; Tip, many electronic devices use electricity even when thy are switched off or not in use. You can save money and energy by unplugging the items when they are not being used.
I sure hope my kids don't have to go to a shrink on a regular basis to get over the trauma they suffered.
I'm not sure how happy Vicki would have been when the microwave, TV, all the clocks were off and when plugged back in were blinking but maybe there is a Marriage.Gov site that covers that issue.
I guess I was a bad dad for playing catch, board games, basketball, card games, watching movies together, camping, water guns etc. you know those silly things when I should have shown them how to unplug usless appliances, brush their teeth and to forget we even had a car.
Man dads have it so easy nowadays they have the government telling them how to be a dad.I'm really glad our government used our tax dollars wisely for that site.
I sure hope Vic made Kool-aid today I think I need some after this discovery.

My favorite line was the last. Great post! Now I'm off to see if my husband is a good dad and to see if there is a site motherhood.gov!
