With a lucky pair of tongs and a "Kiss the Chef" apron, Memorial Day and the 4th of July are your favorite holidays. You're good friends to your neighbor, Camping Dad, and on your off-days, you are the Suburban Dad, wearing a fanny pack and showing off your mowing pattern to the neighbors. At high school football games, you tailgate with Sports Dad.

You're Grill Dad!

You can tie every type of knot, were once an Eagle Scout, whittle for fun, and your pocket knife is your prized possession. You probably bought your current house because it has a Cold War bunker in the basement that you've stockpiled with rations and gear and also have a back-up cabin in the mountains (you won't say which mountains). You're adamant that you're not a "prepper."

You're Survivalist Dad!

You were on the high school football team and could've gone pro, but your knee gave out. You don't swear unless there's a game on, collect baseball cards, and love all sports that someone could be injured in (chess isn't a sport). While they might wish it was Tyler's dad instead, you're the coach for your kid's tee ball team. Also, you tailgate with Grill Dad.

You're Sports Dad!

No one ever holds the flashlight in the right spot and when you ask your kid when the last time they got an oil change was, you'll grumble no matter what. You have a mustang (nice) that you keep in the garage — only driving it when it's 72 °F outside. No one else is allowed to drive the 'stang. You don't really work on the car, but on the weekend, you wipe it down while drinking a beer or coffee.

You're Garage Dad!

You have a secret copy of "A Dummy's Guide to Plumbing" and may use tools incorrectly to get the job done. But hey, at least you have a positive attitude. That is, until that d*mn sink starts acting up again. You're related to Garage Dad.

You're Fix-It Dad!

You sent your kids to Montessori school and make your own oat milk and kombucha. You eat quinoa, but you struggle with the fact that an exported good has a larger carbon footprint than eating local meat. You're a no-shoes household and you ride your bike to school conferences.

You're Granola Dad!

You were older when you had kids, are fascinated with WWII history, and fall asleep in your armchair. The kids play "don't wake the bear" when they walk past you in your slumber. You forget your kids' names without any remorse.

You're Grandpa Dad!

You love to camp, but you're not good at it. You hurry to get everyone's things in the car, but you forget the cooler of food at home. You have a singing fish in your den and are excited to be outside, but you hate your family by the end of the weekend and wish you went alone. Despite that, you're already planning the next camping trip by the time you get home.

You're Camping Dad!

You were older when you had kids, but you're in a higher tax bracket and more strict than Grandpa Dad. Your lounge is off-limits to the kids (and typically anyone else, too). You're what I would call "velvet as a man" and you definitely have some stakes in the stock market.

You're Cigar Dad!
