You’re not just any father; you’re THE father. Known for your love of hanging out with the other dads at the local coffeehouse (or tavern, depending on the setting), your days are filled with sipping freshly brewed coffee, sharing tales of questionable heroics, and dodging your spouse’s sharp glare. While you can strike fear into the hearts of your children with just a raised eyebrow, you are equally adept at crafting excuses to escape home responsibilities, though you often tremble at the thought of your significant other finding out.

You carry a whip—not because you’re a fighter, but because it’s the ultimate dad tool for discipline and keeping unruly kids in line. However, the same hand that wields the whip also masters the fine art of brewing the perfect cup of coffee. Your charisma shines when persuading your children to finish their chores or intimidating them into obedience.

And let’s not forget your stealthy nature: slipping out for “just a quick coffee” is a skill you’ve honed to perfection. You’ve even mastered the art of deception, spinning tales about why the “milk ran out” just so you could justify an hour away with your favorite brew buddies.
