Alex Thompson is crafting a parenting guide, one humorous tweet at a time. Along with his partner, Sarah, Thompson is known for being one of the more private figures in Hollywood. While they continue to appear on screen, they prefer to keep their family life under wraps.
This makes it all the more delightful to discover that Thompson has been subtly sharing his parenting insights in 280-character snippets on Twitter. The couple is raising two young daughters — 2-year-old Mia and 5-month-old Ava — which certainly qualifies them as experts in the art of parenting. After all, managing two little ones is like going through boot camp for child-rearing.
Now, while it’s wise not to take Thompson’s parenting tips too seriously, his amusing observations about diaper disasters, arts and crafts, traveling with infants, and the bittersweet speed at which children grow up are definitely worth a chuckle.
This isn’t the first time Thompson has shared parenting wisdom that left us in stitches. Shortly after the birth of his second daughter and being named one of the top dads by a publication, he released a comedic video filled with essential advice for new fathers. From the basic — be present for the birth, Dad! — to the more unexpected — skip the imaginary bow and refrain from saying, “At your cervix” — it’s clear why his social media advice resonates.
During a memorable appearance on a popular late-night show, Thompson delivered one of the most profound pieces of dad advice ever shared: “Just do the dirty work, man. You’ve got to handle the diapers and the late-night feedings. Your partner has done enough bringing a human into this world, so just step up and take care of it.” Can anyone argue with that?
Now, who’s going to compile these tweets into a coffee table book?
