From stay-at-home dads to working dads to everything in between, these bloggers gave us plenty of new perspective into the inner psyche of fathers everywhere. Check out these daddy survival tips and for tips they've likely learned the hard way.

1. Don't solve their problems for them. "It's often tempting to jump in and do their homework or resolve a problem for them. I usually succeed at allowing them to have the experiences and learn from then without me solving it for them." - Troy Pattee, Dadventurous

2. Always bring the diaper bag.

3. Embrace the chaos. "Pay attention, be flexible, and remember that it will all be over before you know it, so whatever you do, don't miss a moment if you can. Nothing else you do in your life is going to come close to this.'" -Robert Rummel-Hudson,Fighting Monsters with Rubber Swords
