Whether it's the "one trip" dad who insists on moving everything in record time, the "elevator logistics" dad who is also a Tetris whiz, the "hydration" dad making sure no one goes without water, or the "IKEA setup" dad making sure all the furniture is properly built, we're all fans of the dads getting it done for their collegebound kids.
