Many parents opt for the "good cop, bad cop" strategy to control their kids' behavior. Often the father ends up being the bad cop by censoring activities or setting up curfew. Naturally, over a period, the dad is seen as the taskmaster who cracks the whip every time kids cross the line.
It does not help for dads to play bad cop every time. Children need to feel comfortable to bond with their father. On the other hand, fathers can do their bit by relaxing the curfew occasionally. A happy father-child relationship is when both learn to love and trust each other. This makes the child realize that boundaries are set for his welfare and safety.
Here are some of the best father quotes to help you bond with your dad. If you are a dad, you will find resonance with these dad quotes.

Ironies abound everywhere. You just have to notice them. Here are some examples:
Recently, on a fashion show, models were dressed in nothing more than fancy ostrich feathers and beads. Ironically, the aborigines of Australia also dressed in similar costumes but they did not make it to the ramps at Milan. While colossal amounts of food grains lie rotting in world's biggest granaries because of a sluggish bureaucracy, starving kids scavenge for scraps of food in dustbins and garbage piles. Though scientific advancement has prolonged human life, it destroys nature, the very essence of life!
If you are touched by life's ironies, you will enjoy this collection of funny but true quotes. These quotes express realities with a touch of humor. Whether we like it or not, life always has such funny but true moments.

The other day I was watching the sitcom, Modern Family. While watching a crazy family scene, my older son exclaimed, "That's just like our family." His comment got me thinking. Are we a crazy family? Or is craziness common with every family?
While talking to friends, I learned that every family has its quirks. No family is postcard-perfect. Each has its strengths and deficiencies.
So when I observed families in my neighborhood, I saw things that I never noticed before. The overweight family living next door has super-intelligent kids. The family with a large brood in my neighborhood is famous for generosity, and community service.
If you feel that your family is a bunch of oddballs, read these funny family quotes. You would be surprised to learn that even the rich and famous families have their eccentricities -- and I am not talking about the Kardashians here! Your family's quirks should not change your affection. On the contrary, you should love your family even more. You are special, because your family makes you special.
