Dads get a lot of flack for just being the fun parent, and for slacking off around the house or like, endangering our kids’ lives when they throw them into the air, but here’s the thing.

They have awesome skills, too.

Dads give great pep talks, they’re the best wrestlers, they love things like remote control cars, and when you’re down, they really do know how to coax loose a smile.

And if you need proof, look no further than these 11 awesome fathers.
