As a dad, there’s nothing better than hearing from other people who can empathize about or articulate some truth from the wild world of parenting. It helps you understand that fatherhood is a shared pursuit and, well, that crazy stuff happens to every parent. There’s no better display of this than on Twitter, where parents regularly share the funny, silly, frustrating, and truthful events that happen in their lives. To that end, here are ten of the best dad tweets from this week.
Mad Women
I shaved before my wife’s work party, and my wife holding a cocktail and dressed impeccably looked up at me and asked “What the fuck did you do to your face?” I’ve married Don Draper.

Must The Show Go On?
Watching the faces of kids performing in the school holiday show, which range from happy to hostage. Much like the parents.

Mad Genius
My 3-year-old's favorite stuffed animal is a puffin.
She named him Muffin.
Not sure what kind of doctor I'm raising, a vet or a Seuss.

Hide & Do Not Seek
Wife (upstairs overseeing bedtime prep): "DOWN! SIT! BRUSH!"
I have no idea if she's talking to the dog, the kids, or all three, but either way I'm staying down here.
