Ref called a penalty kick and I yelled 'That's a KICK move!' Everyone groaned including my own kids. Worth it though. The dad next to me actually laughed which counts as a W in my book.

I told him because he was born 9 months after I went the distance with your mom. He's 7 and doesn't get it yet but I'm waiting for the day he does.

Told my kids this joke at breakfast this morning. Why did the cookie go to the doctor? Because it felt crumbly! They both just looked at me like I had three heads. My wife didn't even groan she just shook her head. I'll be here all week apparently whether they like it or not.

Started the journey thinking weight loss would fix everything. Lost the weight, look better, feel physically stronger, but the depression is still there. Turns out I was using food as a coping mechanism and now I have to actually deal with my emotions. It's been rough. On the flip side, I can play w...

First time dad here. My wife wants to exclusively breastfeed but I feel like I'm missing out on feeding time since she's doing it all. Is it reasonable to ask her to pump sometimes so I can do bottles? I want to help and feel like I'm contributing but I don't want to make her feel bad. What did othe...

This might sound weird but I feel lonely all the time even though I have a wife, two kids, and we're always doing family stuff. I don't really have friends anymore, all my buddies kind of drifted away once I had kids. Work is isolating and I just feel disconnected from everyone. My therapist says it...

Going to the game on Saturday and want to bring something that doesn't require a lot of prep. Was thinking wings and maybe some pulled pork sandwiches but open to ideas. Can't do anything too messy because I'll be wearing my team colors and don't want sauce all over. What do you guys usually bring t...

Went camping with the kids for the first time since my divorce. Setup at a state park about 2 hours away and everything was going great until my 5yo took off into the woods looking for bugs. Had the worst 20 minutes of my life searching for him. Found him just sitting by a stream like nothing was wr...

Took me like 6 months of planning and two weekends of actual work but we did it. The boys helped out more than they hurt and they're sleeping out there tonight. Best dad move I've made in a while, totally worth the sore back and the 47 trips to Home Depot.

Honestly thought Discord was sketchy until my 14yo asked to use it for his gaming group. Did some research and realized I was being paranoid about it. Set up his account, joined the server myself, and it's actually way better than I expected. He plays with the same 5 kids every weekend and I can mon...

My 9yo wants to join the soccer team but practices are on Wednesday nights which is when we do family devotions and church prep. My wife thinks I'm being too rigid but I feel like we're constantly compromising our values. Sports, school events, birthday parties on Sundays, it all chips away at what ...

All his friends have some kind of device and now he's asking for a phone. I'm not ready for this but I also don't want him to feel like the only kid without one. What age is reasonable? And if we do get him something what apps or controls do other parents use? I'm honestly terrified of the internet ...

Been trying to be a better example for my family spiritually but I keep falling short. I lose my temper at work stuff and bring it home. I skip my prayer time. I'm on my phone during family dinner. My 7 year old asked me yesterday why he has to be kind to people if I yell at the guy on the phone. Th...

Used to be the guy at every party, always had a beer in my hand, couldn't say no to anything. I missed my oldest's first day of kindergarten because I was too hungover. My wife gave me an ultimatum and I finally got it together. Been sober 5 years now and I'm coaching my son's soccer team, going to ...

For the longest time I just let my wife handle the spiritual stuff with the kids. She finally called me out on it and asked why I expected her to do all the faith work. So I started doing bedtime prayers with my boys, nothing fancy, just thanking God for the day and asking Him to watch over us. My y...
