I said hey buddy I've got this great chemistry pun for you. He's like dad no. And I'm like but I promise it's got all the right elements. My wife literally told me to stop.

Been working with him for like 3 weeks. Today he just took off down the driveway and I was running behind him ready to catch him but he made it the whole way. He looked back at me with the biggest smile. Worth every scraped knee and my sore legs from running. Best day ever.

Usually my wife does this but she was swamped with work. I made sandwiches, cut up fruit, threw in some goldfish. Nothing fancy. But for once I didn't get the containers back with most of the food still in there. My 8yo even asked me to do it again next week. Feeling pretty good right now ngl.

Switched to fully remote about a year ago and honestly it's made such a difference. I can be home for lunch with the kids, pick them up from school most days, and I'm not losing 2 hours a day to commuting. My job performance is actually better because I'm less stressed. The only downside is sometime...

So my wife is breastfeeding but we're also doing some bottles so I can help with night feedings and she can get a break. The problem is the schedule is confusing me. Like when do I give a bottle vs when should she breastfeed? And how much should be in the bottle? We have a pediatrician appointment n...

My son is 3 weeks old and literally will not sleep unless I'm holding him or hes in contact with me. The second I try to put him down in the bassinet he screams. My wife is exhausted and I feel like all I do is hold a baby and try not to move. We're both running on like 2 hours of sleep. Is this nor...

Nothing makes me prouder than passing down traditions to my kids. We're heading out to the lake this weekend. My grandfather taught me, I want my girl to know how to do this. She should be capable and self-sufficient. That's what I believe real parenting is about—giving them skills and confidence to...

We started combo feeding because my wife needed a break from exclusively nursing. I love being able to feed our daughter with the bottle, but I've noticed my wife gets these amazing moments with her during nursing that I just don't get. I know this is petty and I'm grateful I can help, but there's s...

My oldest is 14 and starting to notice girls more, which is totally normal. I want to talk about purity and God's design for relationships but I don't want him to feel ashamed or think I'm being preachy. My dad never talked to me about this stuff and I felt lost. Any dads here who've had these conve...

We started doing prayer time right after dinner and it's been a game changer honestly. At first the kids thought it was boring but we let them pray for stuff that matters to them. My 5yo prayed for his goldfish to stop being lazy and my wife and I almost lost it. Now they actually ask when we're pra...

My son is 9 and wants to play Roblox for like 3-4 hours on weekends. We let him do maybe 90 minutes right now but he keeps negotiating. Other dads, what's your limit? Feel like I'm either being too strict or letting him turn into a zombie.

Went to dinner last night in slacks and a button up like a normal human. Looked around and saw grown men in sweatpants and hoodies. What happened? I get comfort but there's something about putting effort into your appearance that shows respect to the people around you and to yourself. My grandfather...

Left my six figure job last year to move my family to a smaller town and work part time as a consultant. On paper it sounds like I downgraded but I'm actually up on everything that matters. See my kids before they go to bed. Know the guys at my coffee shop by name. Know my neighbors. Miss the money ...

My wife was raised proper Southern and it's rubbed off on me. The way she treats people, the genuine interest in their lives, the thoughtfulness. It's becoming a rarer thing and I think we're all poorer for it. Been making an effort to slow down more and actually listen to people instead of just wai...

Spent the last 6 months converting the basement into my escape spot. Got a pool table, ping pong table, beer fridge, and a huge TV mounted on the wall. Wife thinks I'm crazy but she gets her spa days so I get my Friday nights down here with the guys. This is the first thing in years that's just mine...
