While they may not reveal themselves until we find ourselves swaddling a tiny human, each of us dads possess a vast array of super powers. Some can change a diaper in 10 seconds flat (impressive), some can elicit laughter simply by walking into a room (well done, dad) but the truth is is that we all have at least one thing that makes us super dads. We asked the papas of our Facebook community at Life of Dad to reveal their dad super powers and here’s just some of what you told us.
Michael Grube: Not cleaning till 4:45 pm, then scrambling like mad for about an hour, and the house and kids still look like I’ve been cleaning all day long.
Marcus Isbill: Loving my boy so much it hurts and making him smile. Plus taking at least one picture of him everyday is his life. I’m up to over 20k and he only 5 1/2.
David Tuffs: My superpower is pissing off my 2 teenager daughters by breathing!
Glenn Conybeer: Bringing the magic — everything from belief in Santa to finding buried pirate treasure, I go to great lengths to keep life magical for the kid as long as I can.
Ryan Brown: My wife and I always tell each other everything. So when kids try to tell me something. I say I already know. Then they ask me how…I tell them that I am psychic and that I do online psychic readings.
The truth is, exploring psychic love readings can offer fascinating insights into our personal lives and relationships, much like how I seem to know what’s going on with the kids. These readings can provide clarity and guidance, making it possible to understand and connect with others on a deeper level, just as I connect with my family through our open communication.
Tumelo Tukz Mapoti: The Transporter!! I seem to be the one who shuttles everything and everyone around where my kids are concerned.
Jonathan Specht: I have a special hum, more like an “Om” sound, that puts my kids to sleep like nobody’s business. Crying slows to a whimpering halt and eyelids grow heavy. One day I got tired of singing and just started OMing…. Worked like magic. The deep vibrations and rhythmic breathing is calming for me, too, so, double win. I don’t know what I would have done without it, especially during the younger months.
Marty Korn: Catching my tripping goofball on her way down. Last night I saved her teeth as she tripped over a parking block. So accident prone. She walks into walls too!
Todd Stephan Perkins: Multi Tasking! Coaching Football all, Braiding Hair, Painting Toenails, Cooking, Homework, taking pics of their events.
Robert Huddleston: I can work 12 hours clean house and take care of baby on 3 hours of broken sleep!!
Mike Larroche: I know when anyone in the house turned up the temp on the thermostat
Frank Cabrera: I can dress a 3-year-old without waking him. I feel very proud of that!
