Father-of-two Rob Kenney hopes his popular YouTube channel, 'Dad, How Do I?' will teach kids key lessons on being an adult.
Rob Kenney, pictured with his extended family on the left, has over 2 million followers on his YouTube channelparents divorced when he was a child, and his dad got custody of him and his siblings. But fatherhood didn’t interest him, and in October 1978, at his daughter’s ninth birthday, he told his kids he didn’t want them anymore.
Kenney and his siblings were left to fend for themselves, more or less. Learning the ropes of adulthood was understandably difficult: He had to learn how to shave on his own, how to unclog a sink on his own, how to change a tire on his own. In the videos, released weekly, Kenney relays his advice in a plainspoken, “just-the-facts, ma’am” way. There’s the occasional dad joke. If he’s unsure about something, he’ll admit it ― and he’s quick to remind viewers of other methods of doing something. In his how-to on shaving, he says, “When you’re done, don’t forget to [clean the sink] or your mom, or whoever else uses the bathroom after you, is going to kill you.
“We had all learned to cope on our own since had emotionally checked out a couple of years earlier and had left us for a week at a time,” he said.Kenney dancing with his daughter when she was younger. On the right, he's pictured with her in the delivery room.
