Being a modern dad means you love doing things your way rather than following the conventional parenting style. The image of you being a not-so-strict dad also helps your kid open up to you and confide in you. And there are plenty of advantages to being a modern dad. You get quite popular among your kid\u2019s friends and also sometimes get to join their happening parties. Who doesn\u2019t love that?<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are seven signs that show you\u2019re a modern dad:<\/span><\/p>\n

You are well-versed with modern text lingo<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Terms like TTYL, YOLO, IMHO, and NVM do not make you wonder what they mean. You use them during texting like a pro.<\/span><\/p>\n

You understand the importance of work-life balance<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

And it is not just restricted to going to the office and earning for your family. You\u2019re as much involved in house chores and your kid\u2019s life as your wife.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re equally excited about your kids fancy dress show<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You\u2019re<\/p>\n

Or should we say more than your kids? You go through all possible online videos and blogs to help your child dress as the fanciest character for the show.<\/span><\/p>\n

You let them explore<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

Be it a trip with friends, night out, or opting music over science- you never stop your child from trying anything new. You give them the freedom to explore things and also teach them to use it wisely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re cool about your kids dating\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You\u2019re<\/p>\n

Yes, your kids discuss their dating life with you and ask for suggestions from time to time. More than a dad, you\u2019re a friend to your child with whom they can discuss anything under the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n

You know Facebook & Instagram better than anyone else<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a pro at taking selfies and know your best angels very well. Your kids follow you on Instagram & Twitter. And no, you know that it\u2019s not cool to tag them in embarrassing photographs. That\u2019s what makes you cooler.<\/span><\/p>\n

You are disciplined not strict<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

You understand that it is essential to teach your kids the importance of discipline in life. But you don\u2019t practice strictness to make them learn it. You lead by effective techniques and examples to show them that it is crucial to be disciplined in life for being successful.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
