He says all his friends use it to talk while playing games together. I looked at it briefly and it seems like just a chat app but I'm not sure about the safety side. Can I see what he's talking about? Are there parental controls? I want him to have a social life but I'm also not trying to be complet...
Before kids, I was that guy who was always out doing something. Bars, concerts, hanging with the guys every weekend. Now I'm 37, got two kids under 8, and I genuinely don't remember the last time I went out on a Friday night without my family. Part of me misses that freedom and spontaneity. But hone...
I was cocky today and changed my 4mo old with just his diaper on because I thought he was done pooping. That's what I get for thinking. Explosive poop literally everywhere including up his back and somehow on me. Had to do a full outfit change and shower. My wife is still laughing at me. Fair warnin...
We brought our daughter home yesterday and I honestly don't think I've slept more than 20 minutes total. Every time she makes a noise I wake up thinking something's wrong. My wife keeps telling me to relax but how do you relax when this tiny human is completely dependent on you? Does this feeling go...
Our son is 2 weeks old and we're doing formula. He seems hungry like every 2 hours. The doctor said 2-3 ounces but sometimes he wants more and sometimes less. Is this normal? My mom keeps saying he's not eating enough but my wife thinks he's eating fine. I just want to make sure we're doing this rig...
Seriously guys I don't know what to do anymore. My son comes home from school and all he wants to do is play Roblox. I set a timer for 1 hour but he throws an absolute fit when it goes off. He's done his homework and everything but I feel like this is too much screen time. He doesn't want to play ou...
My 3mo daughter is still up 2-3 times a night and I'm running on fumes. Everyone keeps saying she should be sleeping through by now but that doesn't seem right for her age does it? My brother said his kid slept through at 6 weeks which made me feel like we're doing something wrong. What's realistic ...
Started letting my 9 year old play 2K24 against me on the weekends and now he's weirdly good. He's destroying me lately and talking trash. Its actually a lot of fun and quality time together even though he's better than me now. Who knew.
4 kids, 4 different games, starting at 8am Saturday. I will be living in the parking lot with a thermos for the next 48 hours. Wife is handling the concession stand. May not survive. Wish me luck guys.
Been working with my 8 year old on his handshake. Firm grip, eye contact, say the man's name back to him. My dad taught me this and I'm passing it down. It's these small things that separate boys from men. Took him to my buddy's house last weekend and watched him introduce himself properly to his da...
Upgraded from my old Charbroil to a Weber Genesis today. She's beautiful and I've already had her running twice. Made steaks for dinner and they came out perfect. My wife thinks I'm ridiculous for naming my grill but I don't care. This is going to be my summer. Thinking about getting really into gri...
My oldest questioned me about why I stand when his mother or grandmother comes into the room. Told him it's about showing respect and dignity to the women in our lives. It costs nothing but shows everything. He rolled his eyes but I caught him doing it yesterday when his aunt showed up. Small victor...
Had a situation at work where I made a call that didn't go the way I planned. Instead of making excuses or blaming circumstances, I owned it in front of my team and my boss. Explained what I'd do differently next time. Respect isn't about being perfect, it's about being honest. My boy was there that...
First time dad here with a 6 week old and I'm losing my mind. She'll sleep maybe 45 minutes to an hour max then wake up screaming. My wife and I are running on fumes. Tried everything - white noise machine, blackout curtains, different swaddling techniques. Read that some babies just have shorter sl...
Haven't posted in a while but wanted to come back and share this. Got divorced about 18 months ago and honestly it was a wake up call. I was 265 pounds, miserable, and just going through the motions. Decided to change everything. Started running, cut out the drinking, actually meal prep now which is...
