The Most Honest Father's Day Confessions from the Dads at Hooray Heroes

What would fatherhood be without its challenges? We know from personal experience that you sometimes have to get a bit creative with your parenting to save (what's left of) your sanity from those adorable little hooligans!

And we know very well what a grip children tend to have on daddy's heart. The reactions to our books and numerous positive Trustpilot reviews are proof of that.

So, here are our superstar dads with their wickedly funny parenting hacks and confessions.
What can we say? Enjoy 🙃
👶OK, here goes nothing: like any responsible parents we don't want our kid to (over)eat chocolate. We figured out a brilliant 🎓 way to outsmart our 👼 youngster - we would simply tell him that any kind of chocolate the two of us were secretly having while getting caught (yup...) by him contains alcohol and is therefore off-limits to children - so smart of us! 🧠😎🍷🍫
This actually worked well: for a number of days he lost interest in chocolatey-looking things ... until one day he told his grandma that he wants some alcohol! 😱We have no way of knowing if the a-word was ever uttered in kindergarten. 🙄We bought some fancy "organic" hazelnut cream and call it "chocolate" now so he can have some...
👶I heard you all expected great things from me... but... I am a perfect parent. 😎🤣
(meaning my kids will probably get MORE and BETTER trauma than most kids 😄)
👶 Everything we don't want them to eat or drink is for adults cause it has alcohol.😄So they just think we're raging alcoholics! 💪


👶Not me, but some family friends. They have two kids, 7 and 3. The 7 year old has a loose tooth. The kids are arguing, the 3 year old kicks the 7 year old in the face. There's blood. 🩸 There's screaming. There's chaos. Dad cleans everything up, flushes it down the sink. 7 year old realizes her tooth fell out. The tooth is now in the pipes. Dad unscrews all the pipes in the kitchen to successfully retrieve the tooth. 7 year old is happy. The kitchen pipes now leak. 💦
👶 Does anyone know how to get kids into the bath? Or out? And explain to me how both activities can end in arguments? 🤔
👶 PSA (Parental Service Announcement): "Baby Got Back" is not appropriate for children. Unless you want to answer a lot of awkward questions. 🍑 😂


Too bad kids don’t come with a guidebook – oh wait! They can!
Having a child can be a messy, exhausting, thankless job at times. It is this very fact that makes it all the more vital to find the fun(ny) in the everyday tasks that come with having kids. Better than letting the constant diaper changes, blowouts, late night feedings, and colds get you down, have a laugh about it instead. 😂

A fabulous way to help yourself stay positive is with an actual guidebook to help you giggle your way through the ups and downs of parenting. Silas's Guide for Mommy and Daddy is a spicy personalized book that combines the craziness and wonder of life with a newborn. Personalize your characters, choose 10 baby-based stories to include, add a dedication and turn that frown upside down!
