My old man taught me that being a real man means opening doors, listening more than you talk, and treating every woman like she deserves your best manners. Now I'm raising my own son and I want that same code. Started having him open doors, stand when ladies enter the room, and we talk about what re...
Spent 15 years climbing the ladder. Made good money, hated my life. Missed soccer games, forgot my kids names at dinner because I was thinking about work. Had a breakdown at 42 and just quit. My wife and I talked and she had savings. We downsized, simplified everything. Now I work part time doing so...
Taking the family out this Saturday and my wife wants fish tacos. We've tried a couple places but nothing has really knocked my socks off yet. Anyone know a good spot that's not too expensive? Looking for something casual where the kids won't be miserable if they have to wait a bit.
Been working on this for like 8 months with my oldest son helping on weekends. Took longer than expected because of course it did but man it feels good to look at it now. Got some new shelving, organized all the tools, added some lighting. My kid actually learned a lot about how to use power tools s...
I just binged The Bear on Hulu and it was insane. Stressful as hell but so good. My wife thinks I'm crazy for watching a show about a kitchen that just makes me anxious but I can't stop. Anyone else watching anything good? I need a new recommendation for this weekend.
I said of course honey I'm a very good doctor. She said you're not even wearing a white coat. I said that's because I left it at my practice. She goes then why are you wearing a stained polo shirt? Fair point kid. Fair point.
Decided to build a shelf in the garage yesterday. Simple right? Wrong. Studs weren't where they were supposed to be, drill bit snapped, and now there's a hole in the drywall I have to explain to my wife. It's still just leaning against the wall. At least the wood looks nice. Anyone else have project...
She's been "forgetting" to have them ready on my pickup days and when I text about it she says I never confirmed the time. I have screenshots of every single agreement but this is getting exhausting. Our divorce was finalized 8 months ago and I thought this would get easier. Do I need a lawyer again...
Started playing Minecraft with my 6 and 9 year old on weekends and it's honestly been great. We build stuff together, they get creative, I'm not just staring at them while they play alone. My wife was skeptical at first but even she admits it's kind of wholesome. Anyone else found games that work fo...
She booked a cabin upstate for next month with my brother and two buddies. Fishing, grilling, beer pong, probably some poker. No kids, no schedules, just guys being guys for 48 hours. She knows I've been stressed with work stuff and the house project. Honestly might be the best gift she's ever given...
Took the boat out early before the family woke up. Best decision I made all week. Got on the water at 5:30 and this thing hit my lure like 15 minutes in. First real catch all summer. Spent the rest of the morning just enjoying the quiet and catching smaller ones. Worth every penny of that boat payme...
Found out yesterday he got selected for the competitive squad next season. Been going to his practices and games all spring and summer and the kid put in the work. Coaches said he's got real potential. Told him how proud I was and he actually hugged me without being asked. Don't tell him but I might...
Wife is breastfeeding and doing great but I feel useless. She's exhausted and I want to help but the baby only wants boob. My mom said try pumped milk in a bottle so I can take a feeding but then I'm worried about nipple confusion. Also how long does the cluster feeding phase last because it's bruta...
She's 7 and usually I let her win like once every 10 races to keep it fun. But today she absolutely crushed me fair and square, got first three races in a row. She was jumping up and down screaming and I just sat there smiling like an idiot. These moments hit different when you know they actually ea...
At least that's what I'm telling myself. Pretty sure it was more but ignorance is bliss right? Second year in the league with my buddies and I completely botched my draft strategy. Reached way too early on RBs and my WR corps is trash. Still got 6 weeks to turn it around though. Anyone streaming def...
