Took me like 6 months of saving and planning but I finally got the desk, the monitor, the whole thing dialed in. Got dual 27 inch curved monitors, new PC build, cable management actually looks clean for once. Ran a few matches of Valorant last night and man the difference is insane. Finally understa...
Signed him up for Code.org back in September as a "why not" thing. Honestly thought he'd lose interest in 2 weeks. But he's legitimately hooked. He's been building these little games and showing me how different loops work, and I can actually *see* him problem-solving in real time. Last weekend he s...
Because he was outstanding in his field! 馃尵 My kids groaned so hard. Mission accomplished.
My youngest just discovered running and has zero concept of danger. This kid will just full-sprint toward the street or a set of stairs with no hesitation. I can't get anything done because I'm basically just chasing him around the house all day. Meanwhile everyone's like "enjoy this age it goes so ...
We did the bassinet thing for 5 months (felt like forever) and this week moved our daughter to the crib in her own room. First night I checked on her like 47 times but she did great. We're all sleeping better and honestly the house feels less chaotic. Small win but I'll take it.
That's it. That's the whole post. Cheers lads 馃嵒
She just told me to go somewhere for two hours, no questions. Didn't ask where, didn't set expectations, nothing. I just... left. Sat at a coffee shop, read my phone, existed without anyone needing something from me. When I came back the house wasn't destroyed and the kids were happy. It's a small ...
Picked one up on Facebook Marketplace for $180. Runs like a dream. Something about being able to mow the lawn in 20 minutes instead of pushing that old manual thing for an hour has genuinely improved my quality of life. My wife thinks I'm insane for being this hyped about yard equipment but honestly...
My son wants to stream gaming. I know, I know. But he's actually pretty into it as a hobby and he's researched it way more than I'd expect. We set a budget of $1200. Anyone have experience with what specs are actually needed? And should I be concerned about the streaming thing or just let him explor...
I'm not exaggerating when I say this never happens. My 9yo and 11yo both typically find excuses or just complain the entire time I'm trying to get them outside. Today I tried a different approach and offered them actual money per task instead of the "you live here so you help" argument. Got like 3 h...
We've been co-sleeping with our son since he was born and I love it, but my wife is exhausted (understandably) and wants to start moving him to his own room and getting him on a real sleep schedule. I read some stuff online and people say 4 months is too early but others swear by starting around now...
Moving to a 2-bed apartment in Denver in 3 weeks and need advice on minimizing baby stuff. Currently in a house with his own room, but new place is tight. We're looking at: - Graco Pack n Play for his room instead of full crib - Diaper station upstairs only - Maybe getting rid of the changing ta...
My son has entered a new level of questioning everything and ngl it's exhausting. Yesterday we spent 20 minutes discussing why the sky is blue, then why water is wet, then why wet things are wet. I tried the whole 'great question, let's look it up together' thing but he lost interest after 30 second...
Okay rant incoming. My wife had complications after birth so we went to formula pretty early. I've gotten MULTIPLE comments from family members about it being "such a shame," people suggesting she didn't try hard enough, and even some weird guilt-tripping about "bonding." My kid is thriving. Fed i...
My boy is getting shy around adults and his handshake is weak as a noodle. How do yall teach your kids to look someone in the eye and give a firm grip? I want him confident but not cocky about it. Any tips on making it a natural habit?
