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...

Decided to finally try smoking a brisket after watching like 20 youtube videos. Put it on the pellet grill at 6am, wrapped it in foil around hour 6, pulled it off around 4pm. Let it rest for 20 minutes and sliced it up. Honestly it turned out way better than I expected. The bark was crispy, meat was...

We're taking the kids to the lake tomorrow if the weather holds. Haven't been all summer somehow even though we live like 20 minutes away. Wife is making that pasta salad everyone loves and we're gonna try not to spend a fortune on concessions this time. What about you guys doing anything fun or jus...

We're 8 weeks in with our daughter and I'm pretty sure I've forgotten how to sleep. Not because she doesn't sleep but because my brain is broken. I'll lay down and immediately think 'is she breathing' and go check. Then I'm awake and can't fall back asleep for an hour. Finally doze off and she cries...

We've resisted this so far with an iPad for games and YouTube but now he's the only kid in his friend group without a phone and he's genuinely bummed. I get it but he's also still leaving his expensive stuff everywhere. Is 9 too young or am I being old school about this? If you got one for your kid ...

Been working with my 12 year old on his handshake, eye contact, and how to introduce himself to adults. Might sound old fashioned but these things matter. Took him to a networking event with me and watched him talk to some business guys. He walked away with two job shadowing offers. That's the kind ...

I bought lettuce and said "lettuce have a great day!" She literally groaned out loud. Felt like I leveled up my dad joke game. My 8yo was mortified standing next to me.

This might sound weird but I've never felt more alone. Have a wife, two kids, good job, but I feel like nobody really knows me. Can't talk to the guys at work about real stuff. My dad and I were never close so that's not an option. Even my wife doesn't get some of the stuff I'm dealing with internal...

I feel kind of useless right now. My girlfriend is nursing so she's handling most of the feeding and I mostly just change diapers and hold him when he's sleeping. I love him so much but I don't feel like I'm really doing anything important. Does the bonding come later? How do I get more involved in ...

My 13 year old got a PS5 for his birthday two months ago. Dude is on it literally every moment he's not at school or eating. I'm talking 4-5 hours after school on weekdays, like 10+ hours on weekends. He's actually failing math now which has never happened. I told him no gaming until his grades come...
