Got burned out hard at 38 and stepped back from my company. Took a less stressful job that pays half what I made but gives me evenings and weekends. My boys barely knew me before. Now I coach baseball, help with homework, sit at dinner with them every night. I miss the money and the status I guess b...

Been working on finishing the basement for like 4 months now. New drywall, paint, flooring, the whole thing. This weekend is the final push. Just need to finish trim and install the door. Super excited to actually be done with this project. Can't wait to show people what it looks like when it's comp...

My 8yo wants to play games with me. I'm not really a big gamer but I have a Switch. What's something we can actually play together that's not totally boring for an adult? Not looking for anything violent, just something chill we can hang out with.

My 4 year old has watched every episode like 50 times. I swear I can recite the camping episode in my sleep. Not complaining though, beats the stuff my older kids watched. At least the parents on the show are actually cool.

So I walked away from a six figure job to stay home with the kids while my wife's career took off. I miss the money, the adult conversations, having an identity beyond 'dad.' But I'm also present for everything now. First days of school, doctor appointments, I'm there. My kids actually know their da...

We lasted one night. Thought I was prepared but a fussy 2 year old in a sleeping bag at 3am is a special kind of chaos. Tent flooded, forgot the high chair, and he cried for his own bed the whole time. My wife wants to wait till he's older. I'm already plotting round two because I'm stubborn and nee...

Getting the kids clothes, scheduling doctor appointments, coordinating with teachers, packing for transitions. My ex just shows up on her weekends. I don't want to gatekeep parenting but I'm exhausted from being the default parent. Had a conversation about it last week and she said she's just not as...

Man I had to share this. My 7 year old just scored his first goal in soccer and I was there to see it. His mom was there too which made it even better because he got to tell both of us about it right away. We actually high fived in the parking lot which felt good. Divorce hasn't been easy but moment...

Been working with my 8 and 11 year old on their handshake. My old man taught me that a firm grip and looking someone in the eye when you meet them sets the tone for respect. Too many kids these days just limp fish it or won't even make eye contact. We've been practicing at church and family dinners....

Got space for maybe a 3 foot grill max. Don't want to spend a fortune but want something that'll last and actually cooks decent. Charcoal or gas? What brands don't suck?

Got the kids Saturday morning, wife wants to do something outside since the weather is actually nice for once. Thinking about the zoo or maybe just a hike in the woods. Kids are way easier to manage when they're tired. What does everyone else have going on this weekend?

Been divorced 2 years, single dad most of that time. Started seeing someone 4 months ago and things are getting serious. My ex found out through the kids overhearing a conversation and now she's texting me saying it's too soon and I'm being selfish. I wasn't planning to introduce her for a while any...

We're like 6 weeks in and I'm checking standings multiple times a day. My team is actually doing decent which is shocking because I usually have no clue what I'm doing. Anyone else find fantasy football way more fun than actually watching the games? I'm on my phone constantly making trades and readi...

So I was really skeptical about therapy at first. Thought it was just going to be some guy telling me to think positive or whatever. But I found a therapist who actually gets it and we've been working through some stuff about why I always feel like I'm failing everyone. Been going for about 6 weeks ...

I know this sounds insane but I want to get into coffee culture because my buddies meet up at this spot every Saturday morning and I'm tired of just ordering hot chocolate like a kid. What's a good starting point that doesn't taste like burnt rubber? Cold brew? Lattes? Help me out
