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...

Told my son I was reading a book about anti-gravity. He asked if it was good and I said I couldn't put it down. I absolutely lost it. My wife didn't even look up from her phone. My son asked if I needed help. This is my life now.

I'm not even exaggerating. Went through like 2 pots yesterday. Kids were home sick, couldn't get them to nap at the same time, and my wife was working late. By 8pm I was basically vibrating but at least I survived.

My daughter came home upset about how some boy was treating her at school. Didn't raise my voice or get angry. Told her straight up: a real man listens to what a woman says, respects her boundaries, and treats her with the same dignity he'd want for his own sister. Then I showed her how her grandfat...

Been working with my 8 year old on his handshake. Not that weak fish grip nonsense. Firm grip, look them in the eye, say their name back to them. He had his baseball coach's charity event last weekend and I watched him meet the donors. The look on those men's faces when this kid gave them a real han...

Realized at checkout I was wearing the same shirt from yesterday, hair looks like I stuck my finger in a socket, and I smell vaguely of spit up. Cashier didn't even blink. She knows. We all know.

This hit different yesterday. I was lecturing my son about being honest and truthful, and my daughter (she's 9) looked right at me and said "But dad you told grandma you were too busy to visit when you actually just wanted to watch the game." Man, that stung. I realized I've been falling short on th...

My 8yo had to make a diorama about space and we built this whole thing with a planetarium effect using glow in the dark stuff. Worked on it for like three weekends. Saw it got an A and his teacher left a note saying it was incredible. He keeps telling everyone his dad helped him. Feeling pretty good...

My son woke up with a fever Saturday morning. Gave him meds, kept him hydrated, let him rest. But he's still not feeling great. My custody agreement says I have him til Sunday night. Do I contact the mom? She's usually understanding but I don't want to seem like I can't handle a sick kid. First time...

Been working on this for about 3 months between kids' activities and work. Just bolted down the last shelf yesterday and I gotta say it feels good to have a dedicated space. Probably spent way too much money on the pegboard setup but now everything has a spot. Took some pics but didn't want to post ...

I've got a little patio space and been thinking about upgrading from my tiny apartment grill. Looking at the Weber Genesis propane grill or a Kamado Joe charcoal setup. Propane is convenient but charcoal tastes better right? What are you guys running and would you switch if you had to do it over? Bu...

So my wife thinks DiGiorno is the best frozen pizza you can buy at the grocery store. I think that's insane and that Red Baron is way better. We've been going back and forth about this for like 2 weeks now. What do you guys get? And don't say homemade because yeah obviously that's better but that's ...

My 7 year old watches this one guy build stuff out of cardboard and I swear he's watched every single video. Like 200+ videos. At least he's not on TikTok I guess? Anyone else have a kid that's locked into one creator like this? Is this normal or should I be concerned lol

Okay it was probably gas but I'm telling myself it was a real smile and nobody can convince me otherwise. Something just clicked in my brain where I went from being terrified all the time to actually enjoying this. He's only 4 weeks old and I'm already amazed by how fast he's changing. Anyone else g...
