If You've Never Fathered A Kid, You'll Fail This Quiz!

Just like being a mom, fathering can be one of the most wonderful and difficult jobs in the world. You get to help to nurture a mini replica of yourself for the rest of your life. You watch them fall, play, grow, get sick, go to prom, get married... the list doesn’t end.

During pregnancy, the mother’s body goes through a lot of changes, and we mean A LOT! Sometimes dads are helpless and don’t know how to help the situation of an angry, nauseated, and tired mommy.

Only a true father knows certain aspects of life with kids. He knows how to feed, change, and soothe a crying baby (at least he should know!) What do you know about fathering a child? Do you know the ins and outs of caring for a woman who's having your child? We know you enjoyed and fully understand how to make a baby… lol, you know it’s true.

Well, here's a quiz designed to test your knowledge on fathering a child.

Question 18

You come home and see toys piled up in the living room. What do you do?

Ever stepped on Legos? Ouch! Well, if you have, you probably died and came back. Kids are always leaving their stuff lying around the house. Toys, clothes, shoes, and even themselves, once in a while. How would you deal with this?

Question 19

Your child climbs on your back. What do you think he/she wants?

Kids can be little cheeky monkeys! They sometimes climb you like a tree. They crave and love attention and cannot get enough of it. As their father, you should embrace this childlike innocence. Trust us - it won’t last forever.

“R-e-s-p-e-c-t, find out what it means to me.” There's more than enough of this to go around. We're told that there are certain morals and values that we should instill in our kids, respect being one of them. But how many of us show them respect?

Question 22

Do you rely on your partner to do most of the “adulting”?

Question 23

Back in the 1950s, it was said that men should go out and work and that a woman’s place is in the home, being homemakers.

I mean, we have stay-at-home dads, for chrissake!

Question 24

Question 25

How well do you handle stress?

Stress can make you wind up dead, crazy, or in the hospital. We all deal with stress the best way we know how, some better than others.

Your way of dealing with each individual problem may be your solution to reducing stress.
