Started The Bear on Hulu last week and I'm hooked. My wife keeps making fun of me for getting stressed watching a cooking show but that kitchen chaos is real. Looking for recommendations on what to watch next. Open to anything except reality TV. No judgment zone here right?
So my 7 year old went to school and told his class 'Why did the cookie go to the doctor? Because it felt crumbly.' His teacher called me that day to tell me about it and I was so proud. Told him the same joke two days before. This is my legacy now. I'm creating a generation of kids groaning at terri...
Took 8 weeks with my newborn and it was incredible. Now I'm back at the office 5 days a week and I feel like I'm missing everything. My son is already changing so fast. I know I need to work but the guilt is eating me alive. Did anyone else feel this way? Does it get easier or do you just learn to l...
Our baby is 2 months old and my wife has been dealing with some dark thoughts and postpartum anxiety. I'm trying to be supportive and handle more of the night stuff but I'm also exhausted and sometimes I say the wrong thing. Looking for advice from guys who've been through this. How do I help withou...
About four months ago I got a decent grill and started actually learning how to use it instead of just throwing burgers on there. Been watching YouTube videos, experimenting with different techniques, smoking briskets on weekends. My family went from dreading my cooking to actually asking what I'm m...
Been doing local bass tournaments for about a year now and I'm obsessed. There's something about the early mornings, the competition, and just being on the water that gets me out of my own head. Just placed 3rd last weekend which isn't much money but the high is real. Thinking about joining a league...
At 35 I was 280 pounds, pre-diabetic, couldn't play with my kids without getting winded. Did the whole transformation thing over two years, now I'm 185 and actually healthy. The crazy part is I don't even miss the old me that much. Yeah, I miss not counting calories and just eating whatever, and goi...
Spent the last 3 weekends building out my garage workbench and I gotta say it feels amazing to have a dedicated space. Got my tools organized, some decent lighting, and even mounted a pegboard for the hand tools. My wife said I looked happier in the garage yesterday than I have in months lol. Alread...
My oldest is 7 and we finally took him to see the local team play. He was so hyped he could barely sit still. Got him a hot dog and a foam finger and he wore the biggest smile the whole game. Even when nothing really exciting happened he was just happy to be there. Might've spent too much money but ...
My 12-year-old asked me why God let bad things happen if he loves us. I froze for a second because I don't have all the answers. Instead of pretending I did, I told him the truth - that I don't fully understand it either but I've seen God work through hard times. We're reading through some devotiona...
My father taught me to open doors, say yes sir and no sir, shake hands firmly, and respect women. Now I'm trying to pass that on but the world's telling my kids it's all outdated. Not backing down though. My boys are learning that being a man of character and courtesy isn't weakness, it's strength. ...
Got laid off last month and I've been pretty angry about it. My kids have asked why daddy seems sad all the time. Really hit me that they're watching how I handle adversity. Started praying with them again at night like we used to. I want them to see that faith means trusting God even when things do...
My kids watch everything I do. How I treat the waiter who messes up my order. How I handle the guy who cut me off in traffic. Whether I'm respectful to their mom even when I'm frustrated. You can tell a thousand times to be honest and kind but if you're not doing it, they'll just become liars and je...
Getting tired of doing the same burgers and dogs every weekend. Want to impress the family with something a little different but still easy enough that I don't stress about it. Any of you guys have a reliable grill recipe that's legit good but doesn't take all day? Looking for something I can do thi...
Been debating cast iron skillet on the grill vs direct flame. Cast iron seems like cheating but the results look amazing. I like a good sear. I'm old school and always did it direct over the flame. Anyone have strong opinions on this? My brother in law is coming over and I wanna impress him with din...
