Parents seek advice from everyone (even if we don’t always want to hear it). Sometimes that advice comes from family, sometimes from friends, and mostly it comes from our kids. But even cartoon characters can give us advice. Even the most evil and despicable ones at that.In the new movie, Despicable Me, Steve Carell plays the world’s worst villain but maybe one of the best dads. And despite being “evil”, Gru shows us exactly what we need to do as parents. He cooks the kids breakfast, the most important meal of the day. He reads to them, which has been proven to increase kids vocabularies and help them speak earlier. He goes to their ballet classes and actively partakes in their lives. Most important, though, is that Gru puts the kids before his own needs. Maybe being a super villain is his day job but being a dad is his life. The movie hits theatres on Friday, and I think it’s a great family movie.To learn more of Gru’s excellent parenting advice, click here.
