What's the Best Advice Dad Ever Gave You?

Motherly advice is often driven by emotion and the need to protect, while lessons handed down from dad tend to be more straightforward and practical, applying to the challenges of everyday life, and sticking with you when you need it most.

For Father's Day, our Patch Facebook readers shared some of the best advice they have received from their dads over the years. Hey dad! We're still using it!

“Good credit is the key to a successful life.”

“Drive extra carefully when it first starts raining”

“Don’t pack more than you can carry.”

“Don’t hold your knife like it’s a weapon.”
