My wife wants to pump so I can do some of the night feedings and give her a break. She's exhausted and honestly I want to help more. But we're worried it might mess with her supply or the baby will prefer the bottle. Anyone have experience with this transition? We're open to whatever works but want ...

Lost touch with most of my friends after the kids came. My wife is great but I feel like I have no one to really talk to, you know? All my buddies either don't have kids or only want to hang and get drunk which I'm not doing anymore. Just feeling isolated. Do other dads deal with this?

My father never taught me much about being a man. He was around but not really present in that way. So when my oldest turned 12 I made it a point to start teaching him the things nobody taught me. How to shake a mans hand properly. How to look someone in the eye. How to take responsibility when you ...

Been saying for 3 years I was gonna set up a proper man cave in the basement and I finally did it. Nothing crazy, just some decent shelving, a mini fridge, a workbench, and a TV I got on Black Friday. My wife actually encouraged it which surprised me but she said I need a space that's just mine. No...

I was a functional drunk for way too long. My ex-wife took my kids when I finally hit bottom at 34. I was seeing them every other weekend and showing up hungover half the time. Three years sober now and I got 50/50 custody back last year. It's not some magical transformation story but it's real. I ...

Just finished season 2 and man that show stresses me out so much. I feel like I need to go to therapy after every episode but I can't stop watching. The kitchen scenes are insane. My wife thinks I'm crazy for wanting to watch it as a way to relax after the kids are in bed but it's weirdly my guilty ...

So pumped for the season to start. My team is looking solid this year and I might actually get to watch some games without being completely distracted. Well, I'll try anyway. Already told the family Saturdays are off limits for the next few months. Anyone else have a team they're hyped about?

Because it's the only time we get excited about spending $8 on popcorn and $12 on cookie dough. My daughter came home with the fundraiser packet and I was like yeah buddy I'm buying the mega popcorn bucket. My wife looked at me like I lost my mind. Worth it for that smile though.

I said no why, and she goes 'because every time you tell a joke everyone disappears'

Been dealing with this for 3 weeks now. The second I put him down in the bassinet he cries. My wife is exhausted, I'm exhausted. Is this normal or are we doing something wrong? Everyone keeps saying he'll grow out of it but I'm going insane. Any tips from you guys who've been through this?

Before kids I could kind of hide when things were bad. Now I have two little humans depending on me and some days I can barely get out of bed. Not suicidal or anything but the weight is just crushing sometimes. Wife has been supportive but I feel like I'm letting everyone down. Anyone else deal with...

My daughter is 6 weeks old and she straight up smiled at me this morning while I was changing her diaper. I know everyone says it's probably just gas but man it felt real. Made me tear up a little. The sleepless nights suddenly feel worth it.

My daughter is almost 3 months and just started doing these genuine smiles when I talk to her and it absolutely destroyed me in the best way. Like I know it's probably just gas or reflexes but it feels so real. Made all the sleepless nights worth it in that moment. When did yours start doing this?

A year ago you couldn't have told me I'd cry happy tears watching my kid take her first steps or that I'd spend 20 minutes just watching her sleep. I was all about career, making money, having nice things. Now half my phone storage is baby videos and I genuinely couldn't care less about the promotio...

I've been drinking coffee since 5am and I'm still dragging. Wondering if I should switch to energy drinks but those give me the jitters. How do you guys stay awake when you're running on empty?
