Dad Tip #2

I wonder how many dad tips I'll end up writing. This one goes with the shopping list that I had posted previously.

Here's the tip:

You see pictures of dad's giving their kids baths and they're always on their knees next to the tub, arms outstretched, bellies resting on the narrow side, reaching for their kids. This can get pretty tiring on your no-doubt-already-worn-out body. Instead of doing this, roll up your pant legs (or wear shorts) and SIT on the side of the tub. You have much better reach and your kid is easier to grab if they start sliding away because they don't want to rinse out the shampoo.

Trust me. I have TRIED to give a bath "the normal way" but it is so tiring it's nuts. You end up walking out of the bathroom with your hand on your lower back exhausted while your kid is toddling around at your feet energized like nothing else. Instead of being tired and hurting, take my advice and you'll only be tired. Sorry, there's nothing I can do to cure that one. If I knew how to, I wouldn't be sleepy at 8:35 at night.
