She keeps texting me last minute that I need to pick up the kids earlier or later. I work a job with set hours and this is making it really hard to plan my day. How do you guys handle this? I want to be flexible but I also need to know what's happening. Should I ask her to stick to the schedule or a...

Our original agreement was pretty basic and now summer is coming up. She wants the kids for 6 weeks but that conflicts with my vacation time and my new job. We haven't gone to court yet and honestly can't afford it right now. Anyone dealt with modifying custody without lawyers? Should I just agree t...

Spent the whole Saturday afternoon organizing my tackle box and fishing rods in the garage. My wife thinks I'm crazy but having everything labeled and in its place just hits different. Now I can actually find my favorite lures instead of digging through a pile of tangled line for 20 minutes. Small w...

He heard someone had stolen a base. Just told this one to my kids at dinner and got the exact groans I was looking for. Success. Also got a spit take of milk from my son which means it's officially legendary status in this house.

I built this awesome garage workshop last year with a gaming area, mini fridge, the whole setup. Fast forward 12 months and half of it is now filled with bikes, scooters, and random plastic toys. My sanctuary has been invaded. How do you guys handle this? Do I just give up and embrace it?

I know we're not supposed to talk about this but I can't help it. I'm constantly checking Slack on nights and weekends. Last night my kid asked me to help with homework and I was literally responding to emails during it. I feel like a terrible dad. How do you guys actually disconnect from work?

Baby #2 coming in 6 weeks and I'm trying to figure out how much leave to take. My company offers 8 weeks paid but I'm worried it'll look bad if I take all of it. What did you guys do? Is 4 weeks the sweet spot or am I overthinking this?

My 4 year old has watched Jurassic Park like 50 times. He's now convinced there's a T-Rex in our backyard. I keep finding him looking out the window at 6am with binoculars. It's hilarious but also I'm losing sleep because he keeps coming into our room asking if dinosaurs are nocturnal. Send help and...

Looking for some solid taco spots or burger places that won't break the bank. We usually hit up the food truck by the office but looking to switch it up. What's your go-to cheap lunch spot in your area?

I said 'Because being a dad is exhausting.' He said 'You should try being a kid, I have to listen to you all day.' Fair point, buddy. Fair point.

I told him I'm not reading them, I'm just looking at the pictures. He said "Dad that's not how you read." I said "Exactly, that's why I'm looking at the pictures."

I said yeah I'll be happy to help. So I sat at the counter and gave her encouragement while she cooked. She did not appreciate my contributions.

Used to sleep till noon on weekends, go out whenever I wanted, stay up till 2am gaming or watching movies. Now I'm up at 5 with the kids whether I want to be or not. My body clock reset whether I asked for it or not. The weird part is I don't even hate it. I miss sleeping in like crazy but there's s...

Been thinking a lot about this lately as my kids get older. They're watching me constantly to see what a man does, how he handles stress, how he treats their mother, how he keeps his word. I can't preach respect and honor if I'm not living it every single day. The bar I set for myself is the bar the...

So I've been getting really into cooking the last couple years as a hobby. Started with grilling but got into actual kitchen stuff too. My 12yo asked me how to make a decent sauce and my 9yo is asking about seasoning. Feels weird being the expert they come to instead of the clueless dad. Might start...
