Our son came home yesterday and I'm pretty sure I've googled 'is baby breathing normal' about 47 times. He makes these weird grunting noises when he sleeps and it's freaking me out. Wife says it's normal but she's asleep and I'm down here basically watching him like a hawk. Anyone else get crazy par...

So apparently when I'm tired I snore really loud and my wife keeps elbowing me awake because it wakes the baby. But also the baby wakes up like every 2 hours to eat so neither of us are sleeping anyway. I suggested I just sleep in the other room a couple nights a week to catch up and she looked at m...

I was trying to have a serious talk but he cut me off and said 'Costco, duh.' Apparently they're in the baby aisle. I'm not correcting him, his answer is way better than the actual talk I was planning.

This is hard to admit but I've been going through a rough faith season and my kids keep asking why I seem different during family Bible time. I want to lead them spiritually but I feel like I'm faking it and they can probably tell. My wife hasn't even noticed yet but I know I need to deal with this ...

My 6 year old refused ice cream yesterday and I asked him why. He said 'Dad, ice cream is too cold for my teeth when they're hot.' I didn't even know his teeth were hot. Kids man.

My 8 year old came home yesterday repeating something his mom told him about me being irresponsible because I'm late on child support by like 10 days. The kid is now worried I can't take care of him. I'm literally sending the money this week, it's just a timing thing, but she's already poisoning him...

My wife busted me using the kid's strawberry body wash on my hair in the shower yesterday. I had just grabbed whatever was there. Now she keeps asking why my hair smells like a kindergarten classroom and the kids think it's the funniest thing ever. My 5 year old keeps leaning over and smelling my he...

So my ex texted me yesterday asking if she can flip our weekends around because her new boyfriend invited her and the kids on a surprise beach trip. This is the third time in two months she's asked to change the schedule on short notice. I had already made plans with my dad and the boys for a fishin...

Things with my ex are still pretty tense. We keep arguing over text about pick-up times and the kids' schedules. Someone mentioned there are apps specifically for co-parenting communication. Anyone use one of those? Does it actually help keep things civil or is it just another thing to manage?

Just wanted to post a win here because I've been reading this forum for a long time and people's posts helped me stay sane. Had my final custody hearing yesterday and the judge awarded me equal time with my kids. It was brutal and expensive but worth every penny. My ex fought me hard but I documente...

Our son is 3 weeks old and literally screams the moment we put him down. I've tried everything. Swaddling, white noise, warming the bassinet. My wife and I are passing him back and forth like a hot potato at 3am. The lactation consultant said some babies are just high needs but this seems excessive....

My daughter is 6 weeks old and today she smiled at me. Like an actual real smile, not just gas. I know that sounds silly but I genuinely got emotional. Been a rough few weeks with the sleepless nights and stress but that smile made it all worth it. Just wanted to share with people who understand how...

Got offered a promotion that's basically a dream role. The money would be great and it looks incredible on a resume. Problem is it's a startup role and they want commitment. I have two kids under 5 and I'm finally in a place where I'm doing school pickup and evening routines with them. If I take thi...

So I said I'd build a treehouse before summer and honestly I thought it would be one of those things I never get around to. But last Saturday we went to Home Depot, grabbed some 2x8s and a bunch of bolts, and just went for it. My son was my "foreman" and kept telling me I was doing it wrong lol. It'...

Alright dad crew, I need to know what you're buying for those nights when you're solo parenting and don't have the energy to cook. I've been loyal to DiGiorno for years but my buddy swears by Newman's Own. What's your go-to? And please don't say you make it from scratch because that's not realistic ...
