Can't put it down.

So I bought some escargot instead. My wife did NOT appreciate that one.

Sofishticated. Been sitting on this one all week waiting for the right moment. Finally used it on my kids at breakfast and got the eye roll I deserved.

Because he was outstanding in his field. My kids groaned but my wife actually laughed so that counts as a win in my book.

Got a nice cover for my grill and I'm not afraid to use it. Just grilled some steaks in 28 degree weather last weekend. Something about being outside with a beer and a hot grill just hits different even when it's freezing.

Was the guy who couldn't get through a weekend without drinking. Figured I'd lose all my friends when I quit. Turns out most of them were just drinking buddies. What I gained though is insane - I actually remember my kids's lives now. I'm present. I'm the dad that shows up to school events instead o...

Got offered a promotion that comes with a lot of travel. Better pay, better title, looks great on the resume. My wife is supportive but I can tell she's worried about managing everything solo. My oldest is in middle school, there's sports and band and homework help. I don't want to be that dad who's...

Got a new pellet smoker last month and I'm obsessed. Planning to do ribs tomorrow afternoon, probably going to take like 5 hours but I don't care. Going to crack some beers with my brother in law while we watch the game. Kids can play in the yard. This is peak dad life honestly.

Never thought I'd be the suburban dad with the minivan and the lawn I care about. Was a city guy, thought suburbs were boring. Had our second kid and realized we needed space and better schools. Five years later I'm out here mowing on Saturday mornings, knowing my neighbors, going to HOA meetings. D...

Spent 10 years in investment banking. Made great money, had the title, the respect from certain people. Then my oldest started school and I realized I was missing everything. Switched to teaching high school math 3 years ago. Make less than half what I used to. My wife worried we couldn't handle it ...

I have friends and a family but sometimes I feel completely alone in this whole thing. Like no one understands what it's like being the dad, dealing with all the pressure to provide and be strong and figure everything out. My buddies want to hang out but they don't have kids and we don't have much i...

Our son is 3 weeks old and I'm still a mess. The sleep deprivation is real, I've caught myself almost nodding off at work twice this week. My wife and I aren't even communicating well because we're both so tired and cranky. The baby seems fine, eating okay, but I just feel completely lost. Everyone ...

She's 8 weeks old and today while I was changing her diaper she just looked up and smiled. Like a real smile, not gas. I literally teared up. All those rough nights, the feeling of being overwhelmed, suddenly felt worth it. My wife got home from an errand and I immediately told her about it. Small m...

Looking to get a bigger tent since our old dome tent is getting cramped with two kids now. Was thinking a cabin-style tent that's at least 8 person. We do family camping like 4-5 times a year and I want something that'll last. Don't want to spend over $400 if possible. Has anyone used one of those C...

Our 4 month old is still waking up 2-3 times a night and I'm dying. I know 4 months is still early but I'm seeing other parents with babies around the same age sleeping 6-8 hour stretches. Is there something we're doing wrong? Should we be sleep training? I feel like I'm failing because my kid isn't...
