Pancakes were a little burnt on the edges and the bacon was crispy enough to be used as a weapon but it was seriously the best meal I've ever had. She's 8 and saved up her allowance to buy the ingredients with her mom. I told her it was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted and I meant every wor...
My kids are 9 and 11 and I feel like we're constantly battling over iPads and YouTube. We try to do 1 hour after homework but it never actually works out that way. Wife and I are on different pages about it too. What are you guys doing? Feel like we're way too lenient but also don't want to be the m...
He thought he was being sneaky but I noticed the logout on the family iPad. We had a conversation about it and he says its because he wants privacy from his mom following him. Part of me gets it but also he was watching some sketchy stuff. Not going to go full nuclear but definitely had to set some ...
Been fishing that same lake for 10 years and never landed anything that big. Got it on a topwater lure early morning. My hands were literally shaking reeling it in. Took some pics and put it back but man I'm still buzzing about it. Already planning to go back this weekend.
Kid comes up to me at dinner and says "Dad why did the cookie go to the doctor? Because it felt crumbly!" Then he LAUGHS at his own joke like he invented comedy. The crazy part is it actually made me laugh because he was so proud of himself. Now every dinner he's got a new one and I'm realizing this...
We weren't even pushing it that hard but over the past month he just decided he was done with diapers. No accidents in like 3 weeks now. Every time he goes he yells "DAD I USED THE POTTY" and I get to do the dad victory dance. My wife is as relieved as I am because we were not ready for a months-lon...
My 8 year old has watched Demon Slayer like 5 times through and now my 5 year old wants to watch it too. I'm trying to tell him he's too young but honestly the animation is pretty sick. Is this just a phase or should I be worried? Also what other shows are actually good that I won't hate watching wi...
Haven't won in 3 years and the guys won't let me forget it. I've been reading all the rankings and watching highlight reels like a crazy person. My wife thinks I'm insane but this is my year. Anyone else in leagues where the trash talk is absolutely brutal?
After 15 years, I finally understand what the old man was trying to teach me. He never raised his voice, never made excuses, just did what he said he would do. Every single time. Lost a business deal last month because I wouldn't cut corners - the deal required me to be less than honest with a clien...
Started this thing in May thinking I'd knock it out in a few weekends. Between kids' activities, work, and the ONE time I measured wrong and had to restart half of it, we're looking at September. But dude, it looks amazing. Having everyone over next weekend to show it off. Worth every sore muscle.
Spent the last month working on a simple treehouse in our backyard with my 8 and 10 year old. Nothing fancy, just some 2x8s bolted into the oak tree and a platform with a rope ladder. Watching them haul materials up and actually use their hands to build something with their old man was incredible. T...
Been working from home for 2 years now and honestly I don't know how I'd survive commuting 45 minutes each way like I used to. Getting to eat lunch with my kids some days, being here when they get home from school, not missing stuff. Sure the line between work and home is blurry but I wouldn't trade...
Just finished The Bear and man that show is intense. Currently starting Slow Horses and loving it so far. Need recommendations for what to watch next after I knock these out. Looking for something good but not too heavy since I'm exhausted by 9pm most nights lol
Right now we're doing every other week but with how many activities and sports the kids are in, it's just not working anymore. My ex wants to switch to 5/2 schedule but I'm worried I'll barely see them. Problem is we live 20 minutes apart and work opposite schedules. Anyone dealt with custody change...
My 16 year old just told us she wants to start dating this guy from her school. Seems like a nice kid but he's not a Christian and doesn't show any interest in faith. I know what the Bible says about being unequally yoked and I've talked to her about it but she thinks I'm being too strict and old fa...
