Athletes and bands aren’t the only things/people that can be underrated, although The Afghan Whigs WERE critically underrated during the 90’s. But I digress, we recently asked the moms and dads of our outstanding Facebook community to share the things they think are underrated. I mean, sleep, obviously, especially sleep with a cuddly puppy, but what else doesn’t get enough credit? Here’s a sample of the most underrated things in the world. Amazingly, bacon only came up once (maybe it is overrated now…maybe it’s time the world moves on to chorizo! That’s right, chorizo is the new bacon, you heard it hear on Life of Dad first!)
Bobbie Lea Baker: Lying in bed with your significant other, watching movies from the 80s, passing back-and-forth a bag of chips and a block of cheddar cheese.
Andrew Roden: What is underrated is your own personal well being. Everyone expects you to be there for your kids and put up with whatever is thrown at you by your other half no matter what the cost to your well being.
Kevin Hines: The little scoop that comes with the baby formula
William Kueny: Single fathers raising their children like a boss!
Zack Deighan: Being alone in the bathroom.
Jeremy Stone: The value of a good overnight diaper.
Chris Williams: Being able to fart freely in a loud place.
Timothy D. Glen II: house. to. self. all. day. long.
Jose Reyes: The quite game.
Dustin Hughes: Dad Jokes.
Dustin Ashmr: The healing properties of a child’s laughter
Shain Wells: Buttered toast and a really good burp.
Tom Bergeson: Brown sugar bacon.
Lee Goddard: Baby changing facilities in the men’s rest rooms. [also a small detail that matters a lot!]
Finally, viva la gingers! Andy Rentfrow: Redheads. [as the husband of a redhead, I 2nd this one!]
