Stay At Home Dad Gained Fame Through Funny Post-It Notes
Parenthood is not a child’s play. The proud parents have to go an extra mile every time while their children take up the bits of maturity. With time, it becomes a part of their routine. They start to find solace in those moments. One of the parents named Chris Illuminati took his part of the story to another level by giving his experiences a hilarious touch.
Chris Illuminati was all set to play the part of a stay-at-home dad. His wife handed over the charge of their first child to him. But at the same time, she was a little nervous about it. So she wanted to tell him all the things he needed to do while taking care of the child. Chris also did not want to miss out on any of the instructions. So he picked up his post-it notes and penned down the directions. It marked the beginning of his post notes writing spree.
As the time ticked away, his love for the notes bloomed. He began to write down the elements of his parent life. It included some reminders and instructions for him. Gradually, he went on to improve his writing style. His notes started to take hilarious notes. Anecdotes also shone brightly in his comments. His notes impressed his humorous soul. Thus, he decided to share the funny elements of his fatherhood with the rest of the world.
After some rigorous efforts, he created his blog. He started putting up his post-it notes. They reflected his day-to-day parent life. Not just that but they also shed light on the dilemmas of his life.
For instance, he shared a “Dad rule” through his post-it note. It says, “When a 5 y.o. hands you a bracelet and says “Daddy, I made this for you” you smile, say “I love it” and you wear that shit with pride.” Another says, “I want to get a landline in the house again just so when it rings for the first time the kids freak out and think its a fire drin.” To make you go mad with laughter, many pop up with their unbeatable laughter punches.
Putting aside the funnier ones, some of them managed to touch hearts with their tones. For instance, one of them says, “I wasn’t the best parent today but at least I have a blueprint of what not to do tomorrow.”
One more says, “Find someone who looks at you the same way a kid looks at doughnuts covered in cereals.”
Thus, his post-it notes managed to grab the attention of an editor for a local Oklahoma website. The editor put up his notes. To his delight, his notes made waves across the globe within a few hours.
His “half-assed approach to parenting” featured on The Huffington, The Today Show, The Daily Mail, etc. Chris went ahead bubbling in light of fame to write down his book. He also manages his Instagram account and lives his fatherhood to the full.
The post-it notes are a new inspiration for budding parents.
