Both mom and dad complete a child’s life and nurture him to grow into a mature and responsible person. Interestingly, while the two of them share common parenting goals; both have a different approach to it. A mother makes all efforts to guard her kids and keep them away from things that can cause any harm to them, even if that happens to be the tiniest of bruise.
Dads on the other end aim to push kids’ potentials and help them take up life challenges. They want their kids to excel as strong decision makers and risk takers. And guess this difference is what makes parenting fun for both kids and parents.
And while you make all efforts to convey your gratefulness to your mothers on Mother’s Day, make use of Father’s Day to thank your father for all the wonderful things he did for you and also for the many things which he did better than moms at times…
Here check out the list of things which dads did best:
1. Laughing on those little bruises
Be it a small game of cricket, or running around; bruises will always be a part of every child’s growing up days! However, with dads, bruises and cuts are only meant to be laughed at. This is how they teach kids to take up the life challenges with ease. They make them forget the pain and move on with things.
2. Turning into any superhero
Whether its batman, spider-man or any other superhero for that matter, dads can turn into any superhero kids want. They just have to name it and dads readily oblige playing up their desired superhero.
3. Playing the silliest of games with kids
No matter whether anyone shows interest in childish games or not, dads always do. From helping kids put their dolls to sleep, to eating from their cooking plates, from making funny faces to animating voices; he is a partner in crime in everything kids do.
4. Happily being their muse
From doing up his hair in weird ways to painting his nails, with dads, kids can experiment anything and everything. And they happily play their muse. They subject to their creative and artistic talents.
5. The Mr.Fix-it-all
You name it and they fix it! A broken toy car or a malfunctioning robot dog, fathers just roll up their sleeves, take out their tools and do not relent until its working properly. Whether it’s about repairing any item in the house or mending toys, dads can fix anything or we should say everything.

Dads always want kids to explore their inner skills fully and for them there is nothing which kids can’t accomplish. They keep encouraging them and motivate them to overcome their fears. They guide them to explore life and face its challenges.
8. Making bed time stories a real fun
Who says bed time stories are wholly meant for moms? Well, dads make for the best story tellers though it’s a different thing that their stories seldom make sense. But kids enjoy the way they imitate animal or cartoon voices.
9. Cooking some yummy delicacies
When dads get into the kitchen, a yummy treat is a sure shot guarantee. Even if dads don’t know the very art of cooking, they always take the pain of cooking something yummy for kids, for instance a bowl of maggi decked with their favorite veggies.
10. Stealing ice-cream from fridge without letting mom know
Sometimes dads act really sweet; especially when they bring for the kids a scoop of ice-cream from the fridge without letting moms know about it.
11. Being the protective armor to protect from mother’s anger
Though he too gets angry on kids but he always saves them from mom’s anger. He would often come up with excuses to help kids escape the situation or try tricks to calm down mom’s anger.
12. Styling kids in some bizarre ways
Well, when dads take to styling, kids certainly look strange. From tying a pony tail that looks rather funny to making them wear drastically contrasting shades, kids are always subjected to their fashion blunders. But he still manages to make the kids look cool. Guess this is why we say imperfection also has a beauty to it.
Dads not just act as the pillars of strength for kids but they even are a source of great fun and adventure. Their presence always makes a difference.
