This is the third time in 4 weeks she's asked to swap weekends at the last minute. I have plans, the kids have routines, and I feel like she doesn't respect the custody agreement we literally just finalized. I don't want to be the bad guy but I'm also tired of rearranging my life. Do I put my foot d...
My daughter said she was reading a book about anti-gravity. I told her I couldn't put it down. She rolled her eyes so hard I thought they'd get stuck. Mission accomplished.
He said: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? I had no idea so he says: Because it felt crumbly! Then he laughed so hard he fell off the couch. Kids jokes are the best because they make zero sense but their laugh is just pure.
Started this project in June as a way to get the kids off screens. We framed it out together, I did most of the structural stuff but let them help with nailing and painting. Its not perfect, some boards are crooked and the railing is a little wobbly but they love it. They actually played in it all s...
I'm thinking we squeak it out but honestly our defense has been rough. What's everyone else's take? Also trying to figure out if I can sneak away to watch the whole thing or if I'm gonna get roped into yard work again.
Told him if he spills milk on the couch one more time I'm going to have to ground him. He said 'that's not fair, you spill coffee on here all the time.' Kid's got a point. Can't argue with logic. Still sent him to his room though because dad rules.
Haven't been in like 5 years since the kids were born. Buddy invited me out next month and I'm actually excited about it. Might take my oldest kid next year too, he's asking about it. Gonna need to replace a lot of gear though. Is it worth investing in a decent setup or should I just rent something ...
I've been dating someone for about 5 months now and it's getting serious. She wants to meet the kids but I'm nervous. Not because there's anything wrong with her but because my ex is going to lose her mind. I'm not asking permission but I also don't want unnecessary drama that affects my time with t...
Two guys haven't made trades in weeks, one dude never shows up to our draft party anymore, and now someone wants to fold the league entirely. We've been doing this for like 10 years. I get that everyone's busier with kids and jobs but come on man. Should I try to save it or just let it die?
Married a woman with two kids five years ago and honestly I was terrified. I wasn't a natural at this. But I showed up every day even when it was awkward. Went to their soccer games. Helped with homework. My oldest stepdaughter just came to me voluntarily to talk about a problem she was having inste...
Trying real hard to walk the walk with my kids but it's way harder than I thought. Like I tell them to be patient and kind but then someone cuts me off in traffic and they watch me lose it. My oldest called me out last week asking why he has to be nice if I'm not. Don't know how to explain hypocrisy...
About 6 months ago I committed to doing a simple prayer time with the kids before bed. Nothing fancy, just thanking God for the day and asking Him to watch over us. My wife was skeptical but I wanted them to see faith as normal, not just something we do on Sundays. Now my 5 year old prays without be...
Got a text at 2pm saying we could leave whenever we wanted. Picked up the kids early, we all went to the park and got ice cream. Honestly made my whole week. Sometimes the small stuff hits different. Now we're just chilling and I'm about to fire up some pizza for dinner.
He wrote 'Dad tells the same jokes over and over again. I think he has short term memory loss. Should we be worried?' Kid's got jokes. Where do you think he learned it from?
I was in the garage "organizing" for like 3 hours and my son asked what I was doing. I said "Alpaca-betical order" while holding like 20 things and he just stared at me. My wife heard from inside and yelled "STOP." That's when I knew I'd hit peak dad territory.
