Is it too late in the year to grill? Been thinking about getting a smoker but the wife says I'm insane since it's getting cold. I live in Ohio though so we still get decent days. Should I wait til spring or just go for it?
Started doing a 15 minute Bible study with the whole family every Sunday morning before church. Picked a simple devotional for kids. Honestly thought it would be torture but everyone actually engages with it. Last week my 5 year old connected something from the story to her own life and just had thi...
Left a 6 figure salary 18 months ago to start a handyman business with my brother. Sounds insane when I say it out loud. My wife thinks I'm crazy some days. Honestly the money part is fine, we're making it work even if it's slower than before. What I miss is the stability and the identity. For 15 y...
I'm not usually one to get deep on forums but I'll share. 4 years sober. Was a pretty heavy drinker, not like homeless bad but enough that it was wrecking things. My wife threatened to take the kids if I didn't get help. Don't want to sound like a recovery cliche but I literally got my life back. I...
Plumber quoted me 300 bucks just for labor. Hell no. Watched a couple YouTube videos and picked up a new Delta faucet from Home Depot for 80 bucks. Turned off the water, disconnected the old one, connected the new one. Took like 45 minutes including some minor cursing under the sink. Saved 220 bucks...
Good morning everyone, I’m writing this from a place of honesty and humility. I am a 20‑year‑old father, blessed with a loving wife and a beautiful daughter who is now 9 months old, soon to be 10. Becoming a father changed my life in ways I never expected — not because of the child, but because life...
Planning a family hike this Saturday on some local trails. Kids are 4 and 7 so keeping it short and easy, maybe 2 miles max. Any tips for keeping them entertained and not complaining the whole way? Thinking of making it a scavenger hunt type thing where they look for different animals and plants. Al...
My 10 year old plays Fortnite with his buddies online and when I tell him to get off he literally has a meltdown every single time. He says he can't leave his squad in the middle of a match and I get that but sometimes it's past 10pm on a school night. We're trying to be reasonable about it but it f...
I was trying to explain why it's funny when you call a sleepy bull a 'bulldozer' and she just shook her head and left the room. Pretty sure she's regretting this whole marriage thing right now.
He goes 'Dad why did the cookie go to the doctor?' I say 'I dunno buddy why?' He says 'Because it felt crumbly!' Absolutely terrible joke but I've never laughed harder in my life. He got it from that joke app I downloaded and now he's been rattling them off all day. This is what parenthood is all ab...
I was at Target with my 5 year old and she points at this expensive baby stroller and goes 'Daddy that's nice but I already have legs.' Loudest laugh I've heard in the whole store and everyone looked at us. Now my wife keeps bringing it up like I taught her that but it was pure unfiltered kid logic....
Been reading through Proverbs with my 8 year old before bed and we hit the verses about honesty. Thing is, I just told my boss I was sick to leave early when really I just wanted to watch the game. My son asked me if I was being honest like the Bible says and man, that hit different. How do you guys...
Seriously why is a simple fart noise the most hilarious thing in the universe to a 4 year old? I'm over here looking stupid making fart noises and my son is literally crying laughing. Then my wife gives me that look like I'm the worst influence but honestly those moments are gold. The simplest dumb ...
A FREE MAN. Kidding, obviously. But seriously I told this joke last night and got blank stares from everyone. My dad laughed though so I'm calling it a win. The torch has been passed.
Three guys in my league have completely ghosted us mid season. We're supposed to be best friends from college but apparently having kids means you can't even set your lineup once a week. Starting to think we need to just accept it's over. Anyone else dealing with a dead league right now or is it jus...
