Starting a veggie garden with my 4 and 7 year old this spring. We cleared out a spot behind the garage and built some raised beds from cedar. Got tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and green beans going right now. My younger one is obsessed with watering them every single day even when it rains. The older...

My son won't sleep longer than 90 minutes at a time and it's destroying me. My wife and I have tried everything - white noise, swaddling, the bassinet right next to the bed. I'm running on like 3-4 hours of broken sleep a night and honestly I'm starting to hallucinate a little bit. Does this get bet...

Whoever said parenting gets easier was a liar. It just changes what you're dealing with. Now instead of poop explosions I'm dealing with my 12 year old discovering TikTok and using slang I don't understand. Give me spit up on my shirt any day over this. Also why does he need new shoes every three mo...

My 8yo spends every free minute on Roblox and wants to buy stuff with robux constantly. I don't get it, there's no real gameplay just weird mini games? And the community seems sketchy. I blocked it from her devices but she goes to her cousin's house and plays there instead. Just venting but also won...

The grout in our master bath is looking rough and I want to regrout before it gets worse. Have any of you guys done this before? Is it worth hiring someone or can I DIY it without it looking terrible? I've done some small projects around the house but never tile work. Also wondering if I need to rem...

Every time I text my ex about the kids it turns into an argument. I'll ask something simple like what time to pick them up and somehow we end up fighting about something from years ago. We've got 3 kids and 8 more years of custody together and I can't do this for another decade. Has anyone tried lik...

Looking for something under 5 miles, not too steep. We usually go to Bear Lake but want to mix it up this summer. Kids are 6 and 9 so they can handle a decent walk but not all day stuff. Any local dads have recommendations?

Threw together a Mario themed party for my 5yo in our backyard. Made pipes out of PVC, set up power-up stations, printed custom invitations. Had like 12 kids running around screaming about it being the coolest party ever. One parent told me it was the best kids party they've ever been to. Felt like ...

We were just sitting on the couch watching cartoons together and she randomly said it. Didn't do anything special, wasn't even her birthday or anything. Just made her breakfast and we were hanging out. That one sentence made my whole month honestly. Gonna remember that forever.

Wife just got the ultrasound results and yeah two babies coming in January. I'm excited but also terrified. How did you guys handle the newborn stage with multiples? Any advice would be appreciated because right now I'm just staring at the ultrasound pictures in shock.

Spent probably too much money on a Traeger smoker but honestly it's become my therapy. Last weekend I smoked brisket for like 12 hours and my neighbors were all coming over asking what I was making. There's something about standing outside with a cold drink just tending to meat that's really calming...

I know it's not a competition and kids are fickle but man did that hit different. We were building a blanket fort and he just looked at me and said 'Dad you're my favorite, you're so silly.' I'm still riding that high. Mom was fine with it too which was cool of her. These moments don't last forever ...

My son has been asking to play Roblox on Saturday and Sunday mornings for like 90 minutes total each day. I let him do it but I'm always worried I'm being that dad who lets his kid game too much. He still does his homework, plays outside, reads books. We have the parental controls set up so he can't...

Got offered a promotion that's basically my dream job but it would mean traveling 3-4 days a month and longer hours overall. My kids are 6 and 10. I've been watching them grow and I don't want to miss stuff but I also feel like I'm sacrificing my career for them. Did anyone else make this choice? No...

So I've been trying to get my yard looking decent for the summer but half of it is just dead spots. I water it, I've put down seed, nothing is working. My neighbor's lawn looks like a golf course and he says he just mows it. What am I doing wrong? Is it worth hiring someone or should I keep trying?
