Took me 3 months but I finally got my garage workbench organized the way I wanted. Built custom tool storage on the wall, got a proper vise, and cleared out all the junk that was just taking up space. My wife thinks I'm crazy for spending this much time on it but honestly this is my happy place. Any...
Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. I let go and he made it like 20 feet before the wobbly landing but man I've never been so proud. My wife got it on video and I'm probably gonna cry watching it later lol
Got the initial frame up and it's actually looking legit. My 7yo is so pumped. We're taking it slow so he can help with each step. Planning to add a rope ladder and maybe a zip line next summer. This is the most fun project I've done in years honestly.
We were just sitting in the truck waiting for his mom and he goes 'dad you're the best dad ever because you let me pick the music.' That's it. That's all it took. Playing some Imagine Dragons on the radio and I'm apparently dad of the year. Not gonna forget this one.
This probably sounds weird but I feel super isolated. I'm with my kids all day, my wife is great, but I don't have any close friends anymore. My buddies all kind of drifted away after I had kids and I stopped going out. I miss having someone to talk to about stuff that's not kids or work. Feel like ...
I said no why and she goes because you're always in the garden looking like you don't know what you're doing. Fair point. Also she's 8 and already has better comedic timing than me.
My boy is 3 weeks old and basically will only sleep if I'm holding him. The second we put him down in the bassinet he wakes up screaming. My wife is exhausted from feeding and I want to help but I'm worried we're creating bad habits already. Is this just how newborns are or are we doing something wr...
We just started having 10 minute Bible time after dinner every night and I was skeptical it would stick. But my kids are asking real questions and actually engaged. Last night my daughter asked why God lets bad things happen and we had this beautiful conversation about faith. My wife and I looked at...
We're actually getting our parents to watch the kids for a few hours so me and the wife can hit up this new Italian place downtown that just opened. Haven't had a real date night in months. Also planning to finally hit the gym Sunday morning if I can drag myself out of bed. Anyone else have weekend ...
My kids wanted to go swimming so I filled up the kiddie pool. About 20 minutes later my son comes up to me dripping wet looking devastated. I ask what's wrong and he says 'Dad the pool didn't work, I couldn't dive in it.' I'm looking at this pool that's literally 18 inches deep and he really thought...
Three years ago I was the guy staying out until 2am on weekends, sleeping until noon, spending money on whatever I wanted. Now I'm the guy planning my social calendar around nap schedules and getting excited about a new stain remover. My friends think I've changed but honestly I feel more like mysel...
Our pediatrician said baby can go 3-4 hours between feedings now but my wife is worried he's not eating enough. He seems content and his diapers are fine but she wants to feed him every 2 hours. I'm trying to be supportive but also want to go with what the doc said. How did you guys handle this? Is ...
My son slept for 7 straight hours last night at 3 months old. I kept waking up panicking that something was wrong lol. Went in to check on him like 4 times. Wife told me to relax and just enjoy it but I was convinced he stopped breathing or something. Guess the dad worry never really goes away?
My wife had a work trip so I decided to take the boys camping for the first time without her. I was nervous about it but honestly it went way better than expected. We caught a bunch of fish, I only forgot one kid's pillow, and nobody got lost on the trail. They're already asking when we can go again...
We were just sitting on the couch playing video games together and out of nowhere he goes 'dad you're the best dad ever.' I asked why and he said because I always let him pick the game. That's it. That's all it took. I'm on cloud nine.
