If there’s one word we might use to describe modern fatherhood, it would be this: busy.

In an average week, modern dads are spending nearly triple the time on direct child care, and more than double the time on housework, than their fathers or grandfathers did in the 1960s. They’re no slouches in the office, either. If they are employed, chances are they are putting in more than 40 hours at work, too.

As more and more dads juggle hectic schedules, sometimes it’s OK to ask for a helping hand to make achieving the illusive work-life balance a little easier. Here are five franchises that are perfect for the lives of new fathers.

Tot Squad

The 21st-century father is a guy who proudly wears spit-up on his shoulder as a battle scar, not an embarrassing stain. No longer is he satisfied with a supporting role—now, he’s attending childbirth classes, memorizing the pediatrician’s number and cleaning baby barf off the car seat. But sometimes it’s best to leave some of the dirty work to the professionals. That’s where Tot Squad comes in.

Originally founded in 2010 as CleanBeeBaby, Tot Squad offers eco-friendly cleaning service and repair and installation for baby car seats and strollers. When the brand started franchising in 2015, the goal was to come to the rescue of busy parents and caregivers everywhere. Now, with expertly-trained, powerful and fast service, Tot Squad is here to save the day of busy fathers.

Fresh Coat* Painters

The decisions that come along with having a baby and raising a tiny human are endless. And, quite frankly, they can be daunting. But tasks like designing your newborn’s nursey can be easier than you think. Instead of feeling intimidated by the design process, turn to the professionals to take care of the job for you—Fresh Coat Painters.

Using bonded, insured and background-checked painters, Fresh Coat Painters will give you the added peace of mind by ensuring your baby is coming home to an expertly painted, bright new room.

Famous Toastery

Every father may consider himself the next Bobby Flay, which means that every father will most likely burn toast, mess up scrambled eggs and whip up wimpy pancakes. When time is tight, it’s OK to admit defeat in the kitchen. Instead, treat your family to a nice morning out at Famous Toastery for a delicious (and nutritious) breakfast.

Famous Toastery is the leader of the better-breakfast segment, and their restaurants are best known for providing fresh, made-in-house-daily food. Because Famous Toastery uses only the best ingredients, this is one meal you can feel good about serving your family.

 
Here’s a scenario that most new dads can relate to: You stumble out of bed feeling as though you haven’t slept (and that’s because you haven’t). You don’t have time for a real breakfast so you hit the drive thru. By 3 p.m. you’re ready to face-plant on the desk. Come evening, you have zero energy to work on yourself and that growing “Dad-Bod.”
 
To get your health back on track, consider becoming a member with WORKOUT ANYTIME. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, new fathers can squeeze in a work out whenever they have an extra hour to spare. And, thanks to the brand’s high-end equipment, it’ll be an hour of “me time” that’s well spent.
