Seriously, how is this even designed for kids? My son figured out how to bypass my screen time limits somehow and spent 3 hours yesterday just scrolling through shorts. I had to physically take his iPad away and he had a meltdown. When I was a kid you had to walk to the TV to change the channel. Now...
My 7yo has completely abandoned actually playing games and now just watches YouTube videos of people playing Minecraft for hours. Like, I get it, but shouldn't he be... doing something? His mom thinks I'm overreacting but ngl it bugs me that he'd rather watch someone else build a house than build on...
I buy my kids clothes at Target because the prices are okay but EVERY SINGLE SHIRT falls apart after like 10 washes. Holes in the seams, colors fading, elastic gives out. Meanwhile I bought my 5yo a Patagonia jacket when he was 3 and it's survived him and his brother still looks perfect. I get that...
I leave the office at 5, pick up my kids from care by 5:30, and then it's just absolute chaos until they're asleep at 8. Dinner, bath, bedtime routine, trying to get them to listen, managing the disaster of a living room. By the time they're down I'm completely wrecked. Too tired to do anything mea...
Haven't gamed seriously in like 15 years but my son got me into it and now I want something decent without spending 2k. Budget is probably 800-1000. I like strategy games mostly, nothing too crazy. Don't need max settings just something that runs smooth. Thanks in advance guys
Baby girl just arrived two days ago and I've been watching my wife do the diaper changes. Today she asked me to do one and my hands were literally shaking. Got the diaper off fine but then I panicked about which direction the tabs go and whether I'm fastening them too tight. Did it work? I think so....
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 6 year old asked why they call it a "produce" section. I said "Because it produces fruits and vegetables." He looked at me like I had three heads. My wife just shook her head and walked away. Worth it.
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...
Last few months have been really dark. Can't seem to get motivated to do much of anything. Just going through the motions with the kids and work. My wife noticed and we had a talk about it. Finally making a doctor's appointment next week. Hate admitting I'm struggling but it's getting harder to hide...
I'm usually pretty bad at this but I actually did some research this year. My league buddies are gonna be shocked. Already got my snacks prepped and told the wife I'm unavailable for the next 4 hours lol
My 8yo was helping his 5yo sister with her homework without being asked and not complaining about it. Just sitting there patient and explaining stuff to her. I watched the whole thing from the kitchen and just felt this overwhelming sense of pride. All the chaos and yelling and fights are worth it f...
I was a heavy drinker before my second kid was born. After my wife gave me the real talk about how checked out I was and how it was affecting our family, something clicked. Three years sober now and it's completely different. I'm actually present for bedtime stories, I remember conversations with my...
I asked my daughter what you call a sleeping bull and she said nothing before I could answer. I was so ready with 'a bulldozer' but she beat me to it with a joke of her own. Felt so proud and threatened at the same time. The comedy torch might be getting passed down.
So my 7 year old caught me yelling at another driver in traffic yesterday and asked why I was being mean when I always tell him to be kind. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized I've been saying all the right things about Christian values but not actually living it in front of my kids. Started pra...
