I told him it's a fatherly duty. He said "Dad, that's terrible." I said "I know, but wait til you hear the next one!"

My son is 3 weeks old and we're running on fumes here. We're trying the shift system where my wife sleeps 9pm to 1am and I take 1am to 5am. Even getting 4 hour stretches feels amazing now. Wife says sleep deprivation is temporary but love is forever, which is sweet but I also just really want 6 hour...

Made some dumb joke about his gaming PC overheating being a 'hot take' and he actually laughed out loud instead of groaning. Small win but after the moody phase he's been in it felt huge. Just wanted to document this moment before the eye rolls resume.

Spent all weekend power washing, re-staining, and replacing some rotted boards. My back is killing me and I'm covered in blisters but man it looks so much better. Kids actually want to play outside on it now instead of complaining about the splinters. Planning a small cookout next weekend to justify...

I swear I've watched this show like 15 times through and I still laugh at the same jokes. My wife thinks I'm insane but there's something comforting about it. Plus the kids will actually sit and watch it with me without complaining. What's your comfort show?

A gummy bear! My 4 year old told me this joke yesterday like he invented it and I had to pretend I'd never heard it. Gave it the biggest laugh I could muster. Worth it to see his face light up.

Looking to meal prep on Sundays and save some money. Wife's been requesting pot roast and pulled pork but I'm open to anything that doesn't require much actual cooking since I'm usually the one handling dinner on weeknights. What are your go-to budget friendly meals?

Had my kids on tablets for like 4 hours yesterday while I was working in the garage. They were watching YouTube videos and playing some random games and honestly they were happy and I got stuff done but then I kept thinking about all those articles about screen time frying their brains. My oldest is...

My 8 year old came back from his mom's house saying I 'don't care about him' and when I asked where that came from he said his mom said it. I've never missed a payment, I pick him up on time, I'm present. This feels like a low blow and I'm trying not to lose it. Do I mention this to her or does that...

So my 4yo is obsessed with those weird toy unboxing videos and I let him watch like 30 mins a day while I'm making dinner. My wife thinks I should cut it to 15 mins. I'm not letting him on actual YouTube with all the crazy stuff, we use YouTube Kids which seems pretty filtered. Am I being lazy or is...

Looking to get the family out this weekend for some hiking. We've got kids 4 and 7 so nothing too crazy, maybe 3-4 miles max. We're within an hour of the city. Anyone have go-to spots that aren't totally packed? Last time we went to the popular trail and it was mobbed with people. Would love somewhe...

Taking my 5 year old camping next month and he basically only eats chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Can't exactly bring a freezer. What are some good camping foods that don't require a ton of cooking? Last time I tried to get him to eat hot dogs and it was a disaster.

I expected to look at my newborn and just feel this instant overwhelming love. Honestly it's been more complicated than that. The first few weeks I felt kinda detached because he's so fragile and I don't know how to hold him without freaking out that I'm doing it wrong. My wife keeps telling me it'l...

He's been saying 'dada' for a while now but today he looked right at me and clearly said 'dad.' It's such a small thing but it felt huge. He's 18 months old and I got to witness that milestone. My wife recorded it on her phone and I've probably watched it 50 times already. Never thought a single wor...

My 7 year old has been in youth soccer for about 3 months. Not the most athletic kid but she's been working hard at practice. Today in her game she kicked the ball and it actually went in the net. The look on her face was priceless. She was so shocked and happy. I was that annoying dad cheering loud...
