Been working with him on this for like 6 months and today he just did it. Bunny ears, the whole thing. Didn't ask for help once. I may have teared up a little in the garage. Small win but man it felt huge.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one struggling. All my friends seem like they have it together, they're always talking about their kids being perfect or how happy they are. I'm over here dealing with depression and anxiety and it's hard to relate to them. Started going to a support group for dads...

My 10yo wants to play Minecraft with his friends online and needs a decent headset. Nothing crazy expensive but something that won't fall apart in 2 weeks. He's got a big head so needs to fit properly. Any recommendations? Also should I be concerned about him gaming online with people I don't know o...

Been a rough few months but we made it a rule that no screens during meals and honestly it's been great. My 6yo and 10yo are actually talking to each other now instead of staring at their faces. My wife was skeptical but she's on board. Took about 2 weeks before they stopped complaining. If you're t...

Spent the last two months on Elden Ring and I finally beat Malenia. Got like 45 minutes after the kids went to bed and just locked in. The satisfaction was insane. I know I'm not as good at gaming as I used to be but it feels good to not give up on something. Now I got time for a new playthrough or ...

Just brought our daughter home yesterday and I'm running on like 2 hours of sleep. Every time she makes a noise I think something's wrong. Wife is trying to get some rest so I'm on duty and I'm basically googling everything. Is it normal for babies to make those weird grunting sounds while sleeping?...

Been planning this for two years and I finally got it done. Got a solid oak top, mounted my vise, organized all my hand tools. The man cave is now officially legit. My kids came down and were actually impressed which doesn't happen often. Planning to teach my oldest how to do basic repairs on his bi...

So I used to be that guy who'd stay up until 2am gaming, sleep until 10am on weekends, the whole deal. Fast forward 3 years and I'm voluntarily waking up at 5am to hit the gym before my kids get up. I don't even recognize myself sometimes. What's wild is I don't miss it as much as I thought I would....

Just finished a 4 hour session of the new Zelda game after the kids went to bed. This is my time to decompress after dealing with bedtime routines and a crazy work day. My wife was asleep by 11 so the living room was all mine. Gotta be up at 6 though so this was probably dumb. Worth it.

Guys I'm being real here. I tell my kids to pray and read the Bible but honestly I'm barely doing it myself. Last night my 8 year old asked me a question about God and I didn't have a good answer. Feel like I'm letting them down. How do you actually lead spiritually when you're exhausted from work? ...

Been working from home for 18 months now and I honestly can't imagine going back. I get to have lunch with my kids, be there when they get home from school, no commute stress. But the downside is work bleeds into family time constantly. My boss will slack me at 8pm and I feel obligated to respond. D...

I'm around people all day. Kids, wife, coworkers. But I feel so alone. Like nobody really gets what I'm dealing with. My friends without kids don't understand why I can't just go out. My dad friends are all so tired we barely talk. My wife is stretched thin too. I don't even know what I'm looking fo...

That was insane. Down by 3 with 2 minutes left and then that pass in the endzone? I jumped off the couch so hard I knocked my beer over. Had to explain to my wife why I was more upset about spilling beer than the replay they were reviewing. She didn't get it.

So my 6 year old asks me in the checkout line why the store has a family restroom. I said because families need to go to the bathroom together sometimes. He goes 'but dad you never come in with us.' Busted. Now I have to actually supervise instead of standing out here like a lost puppy.

Guys I think we actually did it. After weeks of the 2am and 4am wake ups, my boy slept from 9pm to 6:30am last night. My wife and I just stared at each other like we won the lottery. I know it might not stick but man does this feel good. Anyone else have that moment where things just clicked with sl...
