    My pro tip for the dad and people wanting to be like the dad is to lead with the important information and then show the meme. Or even better, keep your partner in the loop regarding the stuff you’re doing as you’re doing it, at least when you’re doing this kind of stuff that is on multiple peoples’ radars. That way they don’t even start freaking out.

      My interpretation of the comic is that he had not done these things until after she had yelled at him, making him realize that the situation was really bad and he needed to take it over from her. Arguably he should have come to this realization sooner, but we all occasionally fail to see what is in front of us time to time, so I am willing to cut him slack given that he immediately jumped in without being asked once it became clear he was needed.

        Oh, yeah, I could see that being the way it was intended. It’s tough to convey the passage of time in pictures.
