I asked the top dad bloggers to share their best tip that they wish they knew when they first started parenting. Here are their responses:
I wish I knew not to spend thousands of dollars on new furniture for our house. Almost every piece of furniture now has tears, stains, scratches, and missing parts. Kids will destroy everything in their paths.
-Jeremy Atkins blogs at Go Ask Your Daddy.
Everywhere you go, when you see free napkins, grab them. Grab as many as you can! Then stash them in as many places as you can: glove compartment, work bag, drawers, your jackets, your pants… literally anywhere there is an open space. The trick to successful parenting is to have napkins within arm’s reach 24/7.
-Jim Lin blogs at The Busy Dad Blog.
I wish I knew that I was good enough to be the parent I wanted to be, the all-star dad I imagined myself being. I wish someone, another dad who had gone through it before me, had sat me down and said,
“Look kid, you might get strange looks at the park, you may hear some condescension at the grocery store and it is possible that members of your own immediate family won’t trust your judgment at first but you be the best version of you and, in no time at all, you’ll prove them all wrong. You’re going to be a remarkable dad.”
It took me a little while, too long probably, to come to the realization that, yes, maybe I approach parenthood differently than some (and VERY different from others), but my ideas and tactics had value when it comes to raising bright, inquisitive and interesting daughters, and that me being the best version of myself is the absolute best thing I could ever give, and ever do, for my children.

The one suggestion that I wish I would have heard right after our twins were born is “Learn to roll with the punches.”
I see myself as a pretty organized guy. I learned early on that time was valuable, so everything in my life was always on a schedule. Once you throw an infant into the mix, you find that there’s no such thing as having a day planned to perfection. Especially with twins. There are just too many unknowns throughout the day that can, and will, throw you off course. Diaper changes. Clothing changes. Unexplained crying fits, followed by spontaneous naps. My advice to new parents is to have an idea of what you want to accomplish, but not to be disappointed if it doesn’t happen quite as planned. The errands you wanted to run in the morning might have to be done in the afternoon. The 3 stops you planned on making could turn out to be just one before someone has a meltdown. (And I won’t say who.) Roll with the punches. Take it all in stride. Tomorrow is going to be better. I promise.

My best tip for parenting is to always find time to reflect and look back on all the victories – big or small. Whether it’s the first time your child says ‘Dad’, or the first time they sleep through the night, always find time to look back and see how far you’ve come throughout this parenting journey.
When you’re in the thick of things, you really don’t get to appreciate these moments, so it’s always good to try to take a step back and be proud all the accomplishments.
Every month I do a photo of my daughter to keep track of how much she’s grown. And when I look back on past months, I’m reminded of what I was going through and what she was going through. Being able to reflect really gives you great perspective on being a parent and life as a whole.

The best advice I would give to myself back before I became a parent is that you shouldn’t be afraid to make mistakes. No one is the perfect parent. No one has it all figured out. As is the nature of raising a human being who has independent thoughts and actions, kids are more unpredictable than a volcano and sometimes just as deadly. I think that new parents get caught up in how peachy everything is going to be, somewhat similar to the honeymoon phase of any relationship. Everything seems great and sailing along smoothly until it isn’t and your record is forever unclean. Get used to the asterisks in your time as a parent. Those footnotes in fine print may explain away the time you got angry at your baby for not drinking his bottle only for you to discover in your stupor that you picked up a bottle that had rolled under the couch for a week and had gone bad. My kids are okay today despite my mistakes. In fact, they are probably better because they see that mom and dad aren’t perfect and that we don’t expect them to be either.

All dads with partners that are able to breastfeed should do their best to support breastfeeding. That means helping however possible to allow the mother to breastfeed their child as opposed to using formula. Help with cleaning bottles, cleaning around the house, cooking healthy meals, supportive verbal language and kindness goes a long way too. Basically, us dads play a bigger role than we think when it comes to breastfeeding, and the benefits to the child will last a lifetime. From fewer illnesses and trips to the doctor, to a higher IQ, healthy weight, and increased bonding, breastfeeding (when able) is a no-brainer.

Best Tip?
Give Up All Expectations!
When our oldest was a baby, he would wake up like a bajillion times a night. I got good at running into his room, cuddling him for a second, then putting him back down to sleep. Then, run back to bed for some cherished sleep of my own. Then, it got harder and harder for him to go back to sleep when he would wake up. After several weeks, I was running on caffeine and hopes. And then, one night it happened. I snapped. I remember being desperate for him to go to sleep so I could get some sleep and because he wouldn’t go to sleep…I couldn’t go to sleep and I was ready to shake him until he slept. Horrified, I ran out of his room before I actually shook him. I broke down in tears in the living room. Once composed, I went into his room and picked him up. We went to the kitchen and brewed a pot of coffee and played video games all night. When my wife woke up at 6AM, I passed him off to her, went in took a shower and went to work. I was exhausted, but I wasn’t frustrated any longer. I gave up my EXPECTATION of sleep, and my frustrations went out the window. Sure, I was exhausted, but I was no longer angry with my son for being a baby. My boys are 7 and 5 now, and I’ve found that whenever my expectations are getting sidelined by reality…it’s time to toss that expectation. It’s not much, but it has salvaged so much of my sanity. Good luck…and you got this!

It’s ok to make mistakes and to let your kids know you made mistakes. Some of our most meaningful times of growth have come after I have apologized to the kids and let them know that the way I responded was how I wanted to be as a parent. Vulnerability with kids is as important as consistent parenting.
-James Rohl blogs at Stay at Home Dad Portland.
Be patient and do whatever you can to get on the floor and be active with your kids from an early age. The time that you have with them is fleeting and you want to make sure that you take advantage of every moment, not missing or wasting a single minute!
-Christopher Lewis blogs at Dad of Divas.
The best tip for parenting that I wish I knew (or truly embraced) when I started was that.. My dad was right. That kids grow up WAY too fast. Before you know it they will be all grown up and you REALLY WILL miss the days you never thought you would.
-David Melin blogs at The Life of a Father of Five.
