Dads Hacks: Men Are Sharing The Ingenious Ways They Boss Parenthood

Parenting can be hard, so we’re always on the look out for a hack to make the job that bit easier (and maybe even give ourselves a break).

Thankfully, some generous dads are sharing their best innovations on Instagram, with everything from using dumbbells to help their baby sleep, to using recycling bins to teach them to walk.

We’re already taking notes.

DADHACK - BIN WALKER Wanna help your kid with their walking but don't wanna fork out for yet ANOTHER baby gadget they'll only use for 2 weeks before relegating it to the garage, watching it collect dust for 10 years, consider selling at a car boot a dozen times and then finally chucking it in a neighbours skip in the middle of the night?......Why not just turn your recycling bin into a baby walker?! You can claim one free from the council and it even doubles up as a genuinely useful object. Not only does it keep the tree huggers happy when you fill it with your empty booze bottles BUT ALSO the missus happy when you're teaching the kid how to walk! Winner winner, chicken (pie) dinner. #dadhacks #lifehacks #parenthacks #firststeps #recycling #treehugger #winnerwinnerchickendinner #dad #lad #baby #ladbaby

DADHACK - STICKY MCFINGERS Wanna know a quick dad hack to stop your kid slapping their sticky little ice cream covered sausage fingers all over the settee, TV remote, cream carpets, white walls, PlayStation controller, work jeans and unattended new laptop?.....Force an upturned Maccy D's coffee cup lid up the stick and under the ice cream so any potential drippage (I think that's a word) is caught before it ever reaches their roaming little trotters. I can't promise it'll stop the mess entirely.....but it makes you less of a dick than not giving them an ice cream at all. #dadhacks #hacks #lifehacks #mcdonalds #parenting #parenthacks #dad #lad #baby #ladbaby
