My team is down 10 with 2 minutes left. I should be watching the kids but instead I'm pacing the living room yelling at the TV. Wife gave me that look. Worth it if we pull this off though.

I let my 4 year old watch YouTube Kids for maybe 20 minutes while I cook dinner. Most of it is fine but randomly it recommends some pretty strange content. Anyone else notice this? I stay in the room with him mostly but it's annoying having to skip stuff. Thinking about just going back to Netflix wh...

The custody agreement just got finalized and I'm getting my 4 year old daughter for the first overnight next weekend. Honestly I'm freaking out a little. I've got her room set up, bought some stuffed animals, have snacks she likes. My ex is probably going to grill me about everything when I drop her...

Our 3 year old finally slept through the whole night without his pacifier. We've been trying to transition him for like 3 months and honestly thought it would never happen. Woke up and he was so proud of himself, asked if he was a "big kid now." Small victory but I'll take it.

After some rough months I finally called a therapist. First session was yesterday and I felt weird talking about this stuff but also lighter somehow? Like my brain needed to just dump it somewhere. Anyway just wanted to tell someone. If any of you guys have been thinking about it but nervous, I get ...

Guys I need advice. My son comes home from school and immediately asks for Roblox. I set a 1 hour limit but he literally has a meltdown when time is up. I feel like the worst dad ever but I also need him off the screen so we can do homework and dinner. How do you guys handle this? I've heard of othe...

Every Sunday my buddies come over and we watch the games. Wife takes the kids to her parents place so I actually get the living room and can yell at the TV without anyone complaining. Been doing this for like 8 years. It's the one thing I look forward to every week. We eat junk food, talk trash, and...

My father taught me these things matter and I still believe they do. Been working with some younger guys at the office and they won't look you in the eye during conversations. Soft handshakes. No respect for hierarchy. Am I being old fashioned thinking this stuff still matters or is this something w...

We're on night 4 with our daughter and I genuinely don't know what day it is. My wife and I are trying to trade off but honestly neither of us is getting more than an hour straight. People keep saying it gets easier but right now I can barely function at work. When does this part end?

I caught myself making a pun about my kids' cereal this morning and they groaned so hard that my youngest said 'Dad please stop.' I AM BECOMING THE THING I FEARED. Next thing you know I'll be wearing socks with sandals and laughing at my own jokes. Wait, I already do that. Help.

We just got home 2 hours ago and our newborn is screaming. We've changed him, fed him, burped him, checked his temp, swaddled him. Nothing works. My wife is exhausted and crying. I'm panicking. Is this normal?? Do we call the hospital? How do other dads survive this?

He asked why we had to go to the 'sad vegetable section' and I lost it. He meant produce. He called it the sad vegetable section. My wife is still upset that I bought him a toy for making me laugh that hard in the middle of Whole Foods. Worth it though.

Haven't gotten a single call from school about a forgotten lunch. This is a personal record. I'm basically a superdad right now.

Got some loose boards and a couple nails poking up. Figured I'd replace the damaged boards and re-stain the whole thing. Pain in the butt but it'll look brand new. Anyone else do deck work? Any tips on stain selection? First time doing this myself.

Marinating ribs since this morning, got the smoker cleaned out and ready to go. In-laws are coming over and I'm determined to finally nail this. Been watching YouTube videos all week. Wish me luck, I'll report back with pics if it actually turns out decent this time.
