Fatherhood can be a tough and daunting task for first-time fathers, but with some of these genius dads' clever and creative strategies, it should be a breeze. These kids practically parent themselves!

If you're a clever dad who can lend his expertise to this list, or if you've seen a comparable image, we'd love to see it added to this list! Vote for your favorite strategies too so that all of dad-kind can see it.

Maybe he is so engrossed with his video game that he doesn't realise what is happening.

I love it! Multitasking and showing he is secure in his masculinity.

I think he can take her to the park later, maybe it's cold outside.

Great dad?Like what exactly he is going to teach them?Maybe instead of the playing video game he should pay attention to them and talk with them?Play outside?For me this picture is showing very bad parenting..he looks like he is staring at that s**t for ages

Kinda lame. Take the kids to the park! Ride bikes, build a snow man...Parenting isn't passive.
