The carpet is disgusting and honestly I'm tired of looking at it. Been watching YouTube videos on how to install vinyl plank flooring. Has anyone here done this before? My main concern is messing up and having to rip it all out. Also not sure if I need to remove the old carpet first or can I just pu...
There's a difference between being the leader of your home and being a dictator, and I think a lot of guys miss that. My grandfather was a gentleman in the truest sense. He made the decisions, sure, but he did it with respect for the people around him. He listened to my grandmother. He asked the boy...
Going through the divorce right now and we're trying to figure out the holiday schedule. She wants Thanksgiving, I want Christmas. My lawyer says to fight for both but I don't want to be that guy. My kids are 7 and 9. I want them to have good holidays with both of us, not be caught in the middle of ...
My ex has been telling the kids that I left them, that I chose work over family, all this stuff that's not the full story. I mean yeah, we had problems and the marriage didn't work out, but I've been incredibly involved with the kids. I see them four days a week. I'm at every soccer game. But now my...
I want to raise my son right. Teach him to provide, to lead, to stand up for what's right and protect those who can't. But his school keeps telling him to get in touch with his feelings and his mom says I'm too strict. I'm not trying to raise some soft kid, but I'm also not going to make him feel ba...
She's been having me communicate about pickups and school stuff through her new boyfriend instead of texting me directly. It's weird and honestly makes me uncomfortable. I told her I need to talk to her about our kids directly and she said it's her right to have him involved. My lawyer said as long ...
Took the boys fishing yesterday for like the 5th time this year. We've caught maybe 3 small bass total across all those trips. I don't even know if I'm doing it right. I watch YouTube videos and read stuff but there's something I'm missing. But here's the thing, my kids don't care that we're not cat...
My Weber is like 12 years old and it still works but the thermometer is broken and one of the burners is getting weak. I can probably spend 200 bucks fixing it up or drop 600 on a decent new grill. We grill like 2-3 times a week during spring and summer so it gets heavy use. My wife thinks I'm being...
Unemployed. That's what my wife told me when I tried this one on her. I think she was serious.
I said because he's been going the distance since day one. He groaned so hard I thought he'd pulled something.
My 7 year old came back from his mom's house with a black eye last weekend and wouldn't tell me how it happened. She said he fell off the couch but I'm not buying it. He's never been clumsy before and he seems scared to talk about it. I'm considering calling CPS but don't want to make things worse i...
This is driving me crazy. We agreed she'd pick up the kids by 6pm on Fridays but she's been 30-45 minutes late almost every week. I have plans with my girlfriend and it's getting awkward. Last week I had to text her three times. Should I just start charging her for the time or what? How do other guy...
Had a rough day at work where I totally lost my temper with a coworker. Came home and my 6 year old asked me if I was a good person and if God was mad at me. Really hit home. I realized he's watching everything I do and I can't expect him to act differently than what he sees from me. Going back to c...
This guy in my department actually had the nerve to say something to me about taking Fridays at 3pm to pick up my kids from school while WFH. Like sorry my family matters to me? My boss has no problem with it and my work gets done. Some people are just bitter I guess. Anyone else dealing with cowork...
Took my boys to the park with a frisbee and a soccer ball. No screens, no complaining, just us throwing stuff around and playing tag. They crashed hard at bedtime and I got an hour of peace. This is what I signed up for. Best Saturday in months.
