What Kind of Dad Will He Be?

For the record, I don't buy it. But parents.com had a quiz asking what kind of father a guy will be. So here's what they say about me:

He's a Hands-On Dad! This dad is very involved in the nitty-gritty of parenting. He loves being around kids, and it shows. He doesn't consider it a chore to bathe a kid, host a play date, or help with homework. While his involvement with the kids is heart-warming, there are some difficulties you might run into with this type of dad. For instance, if you don't agree on how a parenting situation should be handled, it could get a bit sticky. Clarify your approaches to parenting early on by exploring parenting what-ifs (What if our child refuses to eat dinner? What if our child throws a tantrum in the store?), role-playing, and discussing parenting articles or books together. A hands-on dad might also tend to be a worrier. Reassure him that while his protectiveness is understandable, the children need space to grow and learn. It's important to keep the kids safe, but at the same time a scraped knee is nothing to panic about. This quiz is for entertainment and/or educational purposes only.

"You have not only the right but the obligation to point out anything that could physically endanger our child. You may be called on to reasonably justify it."
