'That's some low quality Dad-ing,' the comment said. 'Take one of those single-seater chairs, set it near the swing, drink your beer next to the kid. Mom can't complain, you've got your beer, and you're spending time with your potato.'
And more people chimed in with hilarious comments making fun of the ingenious dad and his kid.
