I told my kids that I'm reading a book about anti-gravity and I can't put it down. My 5yo actually believed me and spent 20 minutes trying to read upside down. My 12yo just rolled her eyes which honestly might be worse.

I know I'm late to the party but my wife finally got me to watch it and I'm hooked. We're on season 4 and I'm laughing my ass off at work trying not to let my coworkers see me cracking up at my desk. Michael Scott is the worst boss but also somehow the best character. Anyone else have a show they ke...

Finally done. 50/50 custody, alternating weeks starting Monday. The lawyer fees were brutal and the whole thing was emotionally draining, but I feel like I got a fair deal. My kids are 7 and 9 and seem relieved that everything is settled. Anyone else been through the whole legal process? Curious how...

I've been out for 3 months and I go back next week. I feel like I just got to know my daughter and now I have to leave her all day. My wife will be home with her but I feel guilty about missing all the day stuff. Anyone else struggled with going back after leave? How did you handle the adjustment?

My company is supposedly remote friendly but my manager keeps saying I need to be in the office 5 days a week to be seen and be taken seriously for promotions. My kids are at home with a nanny and I feel like I'm missing everything. Most of my actual work could be done from home. Is it worth pushing...

I'm dating someone new and she's really great with my kids. But my ex found out and now she's threatening to take me back to court saying I'm putting the kids around unstable influences. My girlfriend has only met them twice at neutral places. Can she actually do anything about this? I feel like I'm...

My son is 8 weeks old and I swear he smiled at me yesterday but my wife thinks it was just gas. I'm pretty sure it was a real smile though. We've been waiting for this milestone and I got so excited I called both my parents and her parents lol. Am I being that guy? When did your babies start actuall...

My ex is now saying she needs to swap weekends because her new boyfriend wants to go on a trip. I have my kids every other weekend and honestly that's the only real time I get with them since the divorce. This is the third time she's asked to switch in the last two months. Do I have to let her? My l...

Got the job I wanted for 3 years and I feel like garbage. Everyone keeps asking why I'm not excited and honestly I don't have a good answer. Thought achieving this would fix something but I just feel empty. Sleep schedule is shot, not interested in stuff I usually enjoy. My wife keeps saying I shoul...

Anyone else worried their kids are gonna pick up on their anxiety? My oldest is 7 and I've noticed him getting nervous about stuff that seems pretty normal. I'm trying to keep my own panic attacks hidden but I wonder if he can sense it anyway. Started therapy a few months ago and it's helping but ma...

After months of trying, my daughter finally rode without training wheels today. We went to the park early this morning, just the two of us. I let go and she went about 20 feet before wobbling. She got back up, tried again, and nailed it. Wanted to freeze time right there. She kept screaming I did it...

Biggest parenting moment of my week. Sat down with my 10 year old and tried to explain the gospel in a way he could understand. Used the example of how a parent would do anything to save their child. Talked about sacrifice and love and redemption. He's asking real questions about faith and I want to...

I finally have time to actually watch TV again now that the kids are older. Just started season 2 of The Bear and holy crap it's intense. My wife thinks I'm insane for wanting to watch a show about a stressful kitchen after dealing with screaming babies all day but honestly it helps me unwind. What'...

Not gonna lie I was terrified the first time my daughter had a poop explosion up her back. It was everywhere, in the carseat, on her clothes, on ME. But you know what, I just took a breath, got her cleaned up, changed her outfit, wiped down the seat, and moved on. My wife was shocked I didn't freak ...

This is going to sound weird but being a dad can be really isolating sometimes. I'm home with the kids all day and my wife works full time so I'm solo parenting most of the time. I don't really have dad friends to hang out with and I miss talking to other adults. It's like nobody understands what th...
