Comedians Perfectly Explain What Being A Dad Is All About. Mike Myers Really Nails It

June 14, 2014

Comedians are known to tell it like it is. And these three really hit the nail on the head when it comes to being a father.

Louis C.K.

"Be a dad. Don't be 'Mom’s assistant.' That's depressing, just waiting for her to write you a list, walk around a store staring at it, calling her from the cereal aisle to make sure you got the right thing. Be a man. Make your own list. Fathers have skills that they never use at home. You run a landscaping business and you can’t dress and feed a 4-year-old? Take it on. Spend time with your kids and have your own ideas about what they need. It won’t take away your manhood; it will give it to you. I did that. I spent more time with my kids. And I found out that I’m a pretty bad father. I make a lot of mistakes and I don't know what I'm doing. But my kids love me. Go figure." 

Chris Rock

"When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy, because 'sacrifice' infers that there was something better to do than being with your children."

Mike Myers

"Having a kid is like falling in love for the first time when you're 12, but every day."
