Walked in and he's watching some weird prank channel that was totally inappropriate. He was laughing his butt off but I felt like a terrible parent for not monitoring better. Now I'm paranoid about what else he could stumble onto. Do you guys monitor every single thing or am I overthinking this? How...

My kid wants to play Minecraft constantly and honestly it keeps him occupied while I'm trying to get dinner ready or work from home. But I feel guilty about it. We've been letting him have maybe 2 hours on weekends and 45 minutes on school nights. Is that too much? Other parents seem to just let the...

Haven't had time to look at stats or injury reports in like 3 weeks. Between work and kid stuff I'm completely out of the loop. Last year I drafted a guy who retired and didn't find out until week 3. How do you guys stay on top of this stuff?

I've been working with her on this for like 3 months and today she finally got it. Watched her zoom down the driveway on her own and I literally teared up. She was so proud of herself, running around telling everyone she saw. Best feeling ever. So exhausted from running behind the bike all summer bu...

First kid was exhausting but I managed. Second one broke something in me. Everything feels gray. Getting out of bed is harder than it should be. I love my kids but I don't feel happy anymore just tired and numb. My wife thinks I should talk to someone. Anyone been through postpartum depression as a ...

Guys, I'm still riding this high. Found out yesterday afternoon that I got the promotion I've been chasing for two years. Then I made it to my son's soccer game with five minutes to spare, watched him score the winning goal, and got to celebrate with him right away. We grabbed ice cream after and he...

I told him it's because I'm a dad. He said that's not a real reason. I said well I guess you could say my logic is pretty... paternal. He groaned so hard I think he hurt himself. Mission accomplished.

14 hours on the smoker, woke up at 4am to start it. Bought a cheap meat thermometer online and watched like a hundred YouTube videos. The bark was perfect, the meat was tender, my whole neighborhood smelled like heaven. Family thought I was a genius. Cost like $40 for the brisket and I fed 10 people...

I know gaming gets a bad rap and I was worried about screen time too but honestly my 10yo has been playing Minecraft with kids from school and it's actually helped him come out of his shell. He talks about the builds they're making, he's excited to play and chat with them. Still limiting it to weeke...

We went out to the woods for two nights with the kids, ages 6 and 9. I was nervous about whether they'd complain the whole time but they loved it. We did some easy hiking, built a fire, made s'mores, and slept in a tent. My 6yo said it was the best weekend ever and fell asleep on my shoulder in the ...

My 9yo wants to spend $10 a month on a battle pass for Fortnite. I don't really get it but he says all his friends have it. Is this a scam or is this actually a thing? How do I know if he's just asking for a game addiction?

Our 8 and 10 year old would rather literally do anything than go to Sunday service. We drag them there but they're miserable and we all know it. We've tried the kids church program but they say the leader is annoying. I want faith to be something they choose not something they resent. Any dads found...

My daughter came back from her mom's house and mentioned that her boyfriend yelled at her for not doing homework. First, I didn't know they were moving in together and living with my kid. Second, he's got no business raising his voice to her. I want to text the mom but I know that'll start a fight. ...

My 5 and 7 year old are finally asking the direct question. We kept thinking they'd just accept it as normal but now they want to know why we don't live together. My ex and I split on mostly good terms but I don't know what the right answer is here. Do you keep it simple or try to explain things? I ...

Everyone thought I was insane. Six figures in tech, good benefits, and I just walked away to swing a hammer. Been doing it for three years now and honestly best decision I ever made. I missed creating things with my hands, not staring at screens all day dealing with angry emails. My back hurts more,...
