The AfterEllen.com Huddle: The Best Advice We’ve Gotten from Our Dads

This Sunday is Father’s Day, so we want to know the best advice you ever received from the person you consider a father figure. Team, what have you learned from Dad?

Miranda Meyer: 1. If you’re navigating somewhere and you think you’ve gone too far, keep going. (This is almost always true, it’s eerie. It technically comes from my grandpa via my dad, though.) 2. “I always figured you wouldn’t really get your life figured out till you were, like, 30.”

Lucy Hallowell: Unless it’s related to car maintenance, my dad doesn’t give much advice. He’s a guy who does most of his teaching by showing. Sometimes that means pointing out how an engine works while he’s fixing his tractor or explaining how to tack while you’re sitting in a boat on the lake. Most of the time, if you pay really close attention you can see how much he cares for people. He doesn’t do big speeches but he’s is one of the most thoughtful, generous people I know. I can’t tell you the number of times I have gone to see my parents and found a painting or a book or some weird object sitting in the dining room. When I ask what it’s doing there my mom inevitably tells a story about how someone my dad knows, a friend, a colleague, the lady who works in the store down the road, mentioned they loved an artist, or a place, or that they grew up in some obscure location. My dad socks this information away and when he is traveling around and comes across some book or antique or picture he remembers that Susan or John or Nancy mentioned it to him that one time and he gets it for them. Few things give him more joy than handing someone the perfect gift.

My Pops and I are a lot alike. It’s not always easy for us to tell people how much they mean to us. But what I learned from my Pops is if you pay close attention it’s not so hard to show people how much you care.

Emily Anderson: My dad is perhaps the kindest person I’ve ever met, and I’m fairly sure a lot of it can be traced back to two pieces of advice he lives by. He always said if he could give a commencement speech that he would walk up to the microphone, say two words, and walk away: “Be considerate.” He has since added a second two-word phrase to his arsenal, which is “Love everyone.”

I wish these were the pieces of wisdom from him that most often echoed in my head, but sadly the most frequent one comes when I’m vacuuming, my dreaded chore as a child. “You’re not vacuuming, you’re cleaning the floor,” he’d say, and I’d trudge back and clean whatever I’d missed. I think I’ve finally got that one down. I’m still working on those first two, and while he would say that he is too, I’d say he’s got them pretty well mastered.

Erin Faith Wilson: I have learned so much from my Dad! He is a carpenter so I grew up around sawdust and power tools. I can use a hammer like a pro, I know how to hang drywall, I ALWAYS have a tape measure on hand and because of him, I call an electric screwdriver, a “drill motor.” I inherited his desire for things to be done with quality and to work hard at all times. He is also a very playful man so while he taught me to work hard, he also taught me that taking a break to play catch or a practical joke on someone is a must. He has been there for me through some of my darkest times and I honestly don’t know what I would do without him. I love you Dad!

Emily McGaughy: My dad and I have an extremely close relationship and he has and continues to be one of my greatest allies-one of the few people in this world that I feel truly understood by. He has done a great job of impressing upon me the importance of being present, in the moment, and squeezing as much joy out of each day as possible. He’s always told me that when I’m experiencing a happy moment in my day, I should “really grab on to it” and feel it fully because those moments pass. I’m still guilty of becoming lost in the stress and pressure of the day to day, but I hear his words often in my head and am working to heed his advice.

Elaine Atwell: “Hold your head up high and act like you’re supposed to be there.”

Bridget McManus: My Pa taught me how to change a tire, put on clown make up and to dance my heart out. And when I got married he told me that a happy marriage is about being “joyful, fun, giving and caring.”

Dana Piccoli: My father is a man of few words. Like, so, so few. It took me a very long time to learn to appreciate that about him, because when I was younger, I just found it frustrating. In turn, I was about the worst bratty teenager to my poor dad. (Sorry, Guido!) Above all, my father instilled in me a relentless work ethic. The man is 70 and still working full time, not because her has to, but because he likes it. I also learned to be handy from him, as he could fix about anything and so can I.

What’s something you’ve learned from your dad?

At 55, he found himself hating his job and didn’t see any way to improve it, so he switched jobs. Others may have just waited it out until it was time to retire, but he didn’t want to do that. He made the change and never looked back, and is much happier for it. And probably my favorite thing about him, and something I try to mimic in my own life as I get older, is that he is entirely unashamed of what he likes. Some of his friends tease him about liking Broadway musicals, some of the younger guys at work give him a hard time about liking country music, my mother will scoff at some of the goofy shows we both love, but if my dad likes it, he is not even a little ashamed to own it. He quotes In the Heights to unsuspecting friends, listens to Disney Pandora when he’s working-whatever suits his fancy. Because what other people think doesn’t bother him at all.

When I came out to my parents, my mother had a lot of questions, but my dad was silent for a while. When I asked what he thought about the whole thing he shrugged and said he had known since high school. “Are you happy?” he asked. When I said, “Yes.” He responded, “That’s all that matters.” And I think that’s a pretty neat way to live.

Erica Feliciano: My dad taught me to be proud of who I am and where I come from. And, he’s always been my biggest fan.

Anna Pulley: “Stop wasting your time crying over boys.”

Emily Anderson: My dad is perhaps the kindest person I’ve ever met, and I’m fairly sure a lot of it can be traced back to two pieces of advice he lives by.

What’s something you’ve learned from your dad?

Trish Bendix: I’ve gotten a lot from my dad, including his love of reading and writing which has been a huge part of my life. But I think the most integral part of his influence was the way he has never ever shown once ounce of bigotry or judgment, no racism, homophobia or sexism, toward or about another person or group.

I grew up with a father who taught my sister and I that every single person is valuable. As a football coach, he always said he’d put any girl on the team as long as she showed up to practice. He’s only showed me encouragement in my loving who I want to and choosing a career path (“As long as you’re happy.”). His support has been unwavering, and even though I’ve tried to have conversations about why he is how he is, he’s not super chatty or emotive so all I can do is make assumptions on his lack of ill will toward people who are different than him (Is it because he’s adopted? Spent part of his childhood in Nigeria? I’ll never know.) I try not to question it too much and be grateful, because his influence has allowed me to feel confident in exactly who I am, and have that same kind of appreciation, love and respect for everyone else.

Valerie Anne: My dad has taught me more by example than he has sit-down, Danny Tanner-style lessons, but I’ve learned so much from him nonetheless. He has embodied the follow-your-bliss attitude I hope to master. If you want something, work for it. Ask for help if you need it, but don’t just sit around hoping and wishing. Make it happen. If something is making you unhappy, fix it. Don’t complain and whine and accept your fate. Make changes.

What’s something you’ve learned from your dad?

Kim Hoffman: I have a very practical, sensitive, smart Jewish dad with plenty of stories and jokes. But he gives the best lessons, too. Because they’re simple. Lessons from my Dad: Soak the bejesus out of it. (If you have a cut, a scrape, anything-“Eh. Soak the bejesus out of it.”) Look at both sides, and then decide what’s fair (he’s also a lawyer, so he’s taught me to seek truth and justice and to not fear a healthy debate, though, his debates have been dinner-table-walk-aways so, debates still trigger me.) Midnight snacks are important. (Don’t hold back-the whole fridge can come out, bagels, cream cheese, eggs, meats…it’s midnight, people!) When playing a game of cards, or a board game (like Risk), it’s okay to taunt the other team with chants and songs that may intimidate them into crying. Game tears will make for a better game, right? Always backup your work. (He wrote a memoir and for the last three years of writing, he will tell the lady in the grocery store to “backup her work.”) A short walk after dinner does the body good. Breakups require alone time by a lake. Always add celery salt to a Chicago-style hot dog. SPF 50+ is crucial to this skin. And most importantly: To believe in my convictions and go after them, even if it means the risk of failure-at least I will have tried.

Lianna Carrera: When I came out, my then Southern Baptist Minister of a dad said to always follow my heart and see where it leads.

Sarah Terez Rosenblum: “You never have to show up anywhere you don’t want to.”

Trish Bendix: I’ve gotten a lot from my dad, including his love of reading and writing which has been a huge part of my life.

What’s something you’ve learned from your dad?

Ali Davis: My dad wrote me a great letter right as I started my freshman year of college advising me to work hard… but not too hard. Much of the letter was about failing a final exam because he had been up all night burning his school’s name into a rival college’s football field, and how he still felt good about that decision.

Three stressful years later, as my friends and I sped back toward the French oral final that I was about to tank because they had convinced me that driving to Norfolk to eat at a drive-in was a better use of my time than studying, I knew he was right.

My stepdad gave me one of the best pieces relationship advice I’ve ever gotten: Never get seriously involved with someone until the two of you have been on a trip where something goes seriously wrong. That’s where you really see someone’s character come out, and watching for that-or for little things, like paying attention to how someone treats waitstaff or customer service agents-has served me very well.
