I'm a single dad, full time job, and I'm constantly worried about whether I'm doing enough for my kids or messing something up. Lately I'm having trouble sleeping, my chest gets tight when I think about their future, and I'm snapping at them over stupid stuff. I know I need help but I'm not sure whe...

My 6 year old has watched Bluey like 500 times. I'm not even mad about it honestly, at least she's not asking me to buy her random toys. But I can recite entire episodes now and it's kind of stuck in my head. Does anyone else have a kid locked in on one show right now?

I keep having these spiraling thoughts where I convince myself I'm messing my kids up. Like I yelled at them yesterday about cleaning their room and now I'm convinced I've damaged them somehow. My therapist says this is anxiety talking but it feels so real. Anyone else deal with this constant self d...

I told him I wanted to know what I was doing wrong BEFORE I messed it up. He did not find this funny. I found it hilarious.

I've been dating someone new for about 4 months and it's getting pretty serious. My kids are 8 and 11, and I'm wondering when/how to introduce them. I don't want to rush it but I also don't want to hide it and have them find out from their mom or something. My ex already knows I'm dating someone but...

Wife had a doctor appointment today and I was solo with our 3 month old son for 4 hours. I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous. But we did it. We fed, changed diapers, had some tummy time, I did a load of laundry, we even went for a walk. He cried a little bit but nothing I couldn't handle. I think I've ...

My daughter is 6 weeks old and will literally only sleep if someone is holding her. The second we put her down she wakes up crying. Our pediatrician said it's normal but I'm exhausted and worried we're setting her up for bad sleep habits later. My wife and I are taking shifts but we're both running ...

So I used to be that guy. You know the one - stayed up until 2am playing competitive FPS games, slept til noon on weekends, my whole identity was basically wrapped up in being good at gaming. Then my son was born 18 months ago and everything flipped. Now I'm up at 5am, sometimes without even meaning...

Used to be one of those guys at the gym 6 days a week, meal prepped everything, counted macros obsessively. Looked great, felt miserable. My back started giving out and I had to stop. Took up hiking instead and now I'm just outside a lot. Yeah I'm not as shredded but I'm actually happy. I miss feeli...

I got my money on Kansas City because I can't bet against Mahomes at this point but my coworker is convinced the 49ers are gonna blow them out. Either way I'm making my famous chili and probably eating way too much. What food are you guys prepping for the game?

I can't watch the news anymore without feeling anxious and drained. Everything feels like a disaster and I start thinking about worst case scenarios for my family. I've been trying to cut back on social media and news apps but it's hard when you have a phone in your pocket. Just needed to vent about...

I grew up in the South and my dad instilled in me certain values about how to treat people and carry yourself. I'm trying to pass that on to my boys but it feels like the world is working against that sometimes. Opening doors for people, saying yes sir and no sir, looking people in the eye when you ...

Got a basic table saw and some hand tools last month, been watching youtube videos constantly. Made a cutting board that's actually usable and a small shelf that's holding up my action figures. Want to try making my daughter a bookcase but nervous about messing it up. Anyone else started woodworking...

Been working with my 12 year old on his handshake. Too many young men today don't know how to look someone in the eye and give a firm grip. We've been practicing with some of the older guys at church and I gotta say it's paying off. Last week he met my business partner and shook his hand like a gent...

Took my 7 year old to the grocery store and he wanted every single cereal box with a cartoon character. I told him 'You know those mascots are just trying to trick you into wanting their cereal right?' He looked at me dead serious and said 'Dad, I think the cereal is working.' Lost it in the middle ...
