Year after year, Father’s day comes with a little more anxiety than the year before. You’ve already gifted your dad everything you can think of: coffee mugs. Ties. That multi-purpose tool you knew he’d never use. And around that time in early June, every magazine runs an article that claims to know what your dad will consider the perfect gift—but men are impossible to buy for, and no run-of-the-mill lifestyle blogger, no matter how convincing they may sound, is going to change that.
So why buy him anything?
We won’t sugar-coat it: we know what your dad actually wants. It isn’t a monogrammed grill set, a bath caddy, or an Apple watch. Nope! What your dad wants—trust us, we talked to him—is a kid who has their sh*t together. (In other words, a kid who doesn’t have to call at midnight and wake him up because they can’t find their insurance info when they get pulled over. Sorry, Dad!) This year, try giving your dad the gift that keeps on giving by learning how to be a little more self-sufficient than the year before! He can wave goodbye to incessant confused text messages from you thanks to the gift of a lifetime: a subscription to Get Adulting.
If you’re wondering how a subscription to an app that you use might be a good gift for him, here’s three of the best ways that a $2.99-a-year personal subscription might just be the thing he never knew he needed. If you’re lucky, you might even hear him say “It’s exactly what I wanted!”
No need to freak out when the power’s out. Save your dad the headache of an avalanche of stressed questions by learning to handle emergency situations yourself!
Although your dad probably doesn’t want to be a stand-in for 911 when something goes awry in your apartment, there’s times when things aren’t quite serious enough for a call to emergency services, yet are a little more urgent than a lengthy Google search. If your dad is often the solution in those awkward in-between situations, he doesn’t have to be! Use Get Adulting’s DIY Emergency Toolkit in the “Adulting 101” section to figure out an action plan for sudden mishaps such as power outages, medical emergencies, burst pipes, and more. In this section, many common problems are listed above extensive, in-depth information and solutions that’ll leave you feeling like more of an expert than dear ol’ Dad himself.
Next time your car’s got issues, give the mechanic a break by learning some tips and tricks on your own time.
If you’re anything like me, your dad is the guy to go to when your car’s acting up. He’ll fix your problem—even if it takes him four hours, three YouTube videos, two beers and one entire Rolling Stones album. But after he’s fixed your flat tire, changed your oil, repaired your mirrors, replaced your wipers, and duct-taped your splash shield, it might be time to ask yourself: does my dad need a break?
The answer, even if he’s too afraid to say so, is likely yes. And he can finally have one once you start using the My Garage section of Get Adulting, where you can learn the answers to every car-related query you’ve got all on your own! Learn the ins and outs of vehicular care so your dad doesn’t have to do it for you. And, keep track of all your car’s documents in one place to keep him from having to pick up the phone at odd hours when you need the info. He’ll finally get a full night of sleep!
Finally, prove to your dad that you can be a successful adult all on your own by educating yourself about the couple of things he forgot to mention.
Now, we all know the advice of fathers is the real guide to life, but there’s no way our dads can teach us everything. Eighteen years of living with your kid may seem like enough time to teach them all they need to know about the world, but sometimes things get left out! Instead of having to ask your dad everything he forgot to teach you when you lived at home, let him enjoy some well-deserved me time by teaching yourself some of the answers to your lingering questions about adulting. With Get Adulting’s Life Guides, you can fill in any gaps of knowledge with ease—learn about debt, retirement savings accounts, filing taxes, insurance, credit cards and credit scores, homeownership, and so much more. Learn it all, and your dad won’t even realize there was anything he left out in the first place!
While there’s absolutely no replacement for a job well done when it comes to parenting, it never hurts to have a second method of education. The Get Adulting app is perfect as an additional resource for young people, and it saves dads everywhere from having to parent just a little too much! If you know your old man really just wants a break this Father’s Day—because let’s be honest, he might not want to explain the difference between a 401k and IRA for the third time—give Get Adulting a shot. Not only will he get the chance to finally relax; he can be proud knowing his kid has grown into a self-sufficient adult! But don’t worry, dads—despite the Get Adulting subscription, we know it’s all thanks to you.
Happy Father’s Day!
