My old man passed two years ago and I inherited his Omega. Wore it for the first time at my daughter's wedding last weekend. Had more men come up to me and ask about it than I expected. What struck me was how many of them talked about their own fathers and grandfathers. I realized that day how much ...

I want to be the spiritual head of my household but honestly I'm not sure where to start. We go to church on Sundays but I feel like I should be doing more - family devotions, prayer before meals, teaching my kids about God. I'm worried I'll mess it up or my kids will think I'm fake. What does leadi...

Man I'm still riding high. We weren't sure if it was a real smile or just gas but she did it again at the same time and looked right at me. My daughter is 6 weeks old and I swear I've never felt anything like this. Worth all the sleepless nights so far.

Been working with my 8yo on his handshake and eye contact. He's naturally shy but I'm making him practice with men at church and my buddies. He's getting better at it and I can already see his confidence changing. Feels like a small thing but it matters. These old school manners seem to be disappear...

For years I thought it meant preaching at my kids about the right way to live while I wasn't living it myself. Now I get it. When my son asked why I pray every morning even when I'm tired, instead of giving him a sermon I just said 'because it makes me better.' He started doing it without me asking....

Spent the afternoon at the pool with my kids and everyone's worried about their summer bod and I'm just here like hey I exist and that's enough. I'm in decent shape but also I eat pizza twice a week and have a little dad belly now. Life's too short to stress about it while you're trying to keep actu...

We've been struggling with breastfeeding for about 2 weeks. Baby girl kept getting frustrated, my wife was getting sore, it was rough. Today the lactation consultant came by and after like 20 minutes of adjustments something just clicked. Watched my daughter feed properly for the first time and I li...

I used to be able to just go to the gym whenever, sleep on my stomach, take hot showers. Now there's always a kid attached to me or waking me up or asking for something. My body is basically a jungle gym/snack dispenser/kleenex stand. I don't get peace but I do get this weird satisfaction when my to...

Just wanted to post this for anyone on the fence about getting help. I've been dealing with depression for years and kept telling myself I could handle it on my own. Started seeing a therapist 2 months ago and I'm actually noticing a difference. I'm sleeping better, more patient with my kids, and th...

Anyone else get hit with crazy anxiety right around bedtime? I'll be fine all day then the second I try to go to sleep my brain just starts racing. I'm thinking about money problems, work stuff, whether I'm being a good enough dad, health stuff I read online. It's been going on for like 3 months and...

So I got laid off about 2 months ago and finally found a new job but it pays about 15% less than before. My child support is based on the old salary and I'm struggling to keep up. Do I need to go back to court to modify it or can we just work something out between us? Don't want to be the guy dodgin...

I was making sandwiches and said 'lettuce pray before we eat this lunch.' My 7 year old actually groaned at it which I guess means I'm winning? The 4 year old had no idea what was happening which is probably for the best.

After 6 months of collecting tools and organizing the garage, I finally got my workbench exactly how I want it. Got a pegboard wall, tool chest, and even mounted a little radio. Now I just need to find time to actually use it without the kids asking me for snacks every 5 minutes.

Just realized my 16 year old has been looking to me to make the final call on family stuff but I've been kicking decisions around instead of owning them. Whether it's where we go on vacation or how we handle something with school, the kid needs to see his dad make decisions with confidence and convi...

Promised my youngest we'd go fishing last Saturday. Work got crazy but I almost cancelled. Then I thought about how many times my own dad kept his word when it would have been easier not to. I went anyway and caught some decent largemouth. He barely cared about the fish but he'll remember that dad s...
