Advice

Ignore ’Em

“Parents are burning kids out

on structure. I think all children

should have three hours of

daydreaming every day. Just

daydreaming... If you want to

know how you can help your

children: Leave them the f**k

alone!”

—George Carlin

Celebrate Their Achievements

“My dad would treat spelling

bees like athletic events.

I’m in the middle of spelling

some shit, all I heard was

‘Alriiiight. Yeeeeeah! My son’s

spelling the shit out of these

motherf**king words!’”

—Kevin Hart

Be Your Own Man

“I’m not ‘Mom’s assistant.’

That’s depressing, just waiting

for her to write you a list,

walking around a store staring

at it, and calling her from the

cereal aisle to make sure you

got the right thing. Be a man.

Make your own list.”

—Louis C.K.

Accept That You’ll

Embarrass Them

“I think every kid thinks their

dad is goofy. Even Johnny

Depp’s kid must be like, ‘Oh

god, my dad with those freakin’

scarves. This isn’t a pirate ship;

it’s a supermarket, Dad.’”

—Judd Apatow
