After 8 years in the office I got approved to work from home 3 days a week starting next month. I know this sounds simple but I'm honestly terrified and excited at the same time. My biggest worry is that people will think I'm not committed if I'm not in the office grinding it out. Anyone else deal w...

Taking the family on a 4 mile hike this Saturday at a local state park. Kids are 7 and 9. What should I bring? Trying to keep it simple but also don't want anyone complaining halfway through that they're hungry or thirsty. First time doing this with them.

I wake up most days with this knot in my chest before my feet even hit the ground. Can't pinpoint what I'm worried about half the time. It goes away after coffee and a workout but man it's exhausting starting every day like this. Started therapy last month and my therapist says it's pretty common bu...

Everyone sees me as the guy who has it together. I work out, my kids are doing well in school, marriage is solid. But I'm falling apart inside and can't tell anyone because I don't want to let them down. I've been dealing with depression for two years now and just putting on a mask for everyone. Wen...

My wife makes more money than me right now and I'm struggling with feeling like I'm not fulfilling my duty as a husband. I know this is probably outdated thinking but I was raised with the understanding that a man takes care of his family. We have a great life and she's happy but something in me fee...

First time doing a full brisket on my new smoker. Started at 5am, pulled it at 2pm and let it rest for an hour. The bark was perfect and it was so tender. Neighbors came over and the kids actually put their phones down to eat. Honestly this hobby pays for itself in family moments.

So my son and I have started playing Minecraft together on weekends. It's actually the only time he wants to hang out with me without complaining lol. He's 11 and at that age where I'm basically the most annoying human alive. The gaming gives us something to do together and we talk about other stuff...

Still grinning like an idiot. We've been practicing in the backyard all summer and she finally connected with one in her game. She ran the bases with the biggest smile on her face. Had to fight back tears in the bleachers. These are the moments right here.

Looking to take my boy on his first real fishing trip. We're in the midwest and I haven't gone fishing in like 10 years. Don't need anything fancy just want him to catch something and have fun. Any recommendations for lakes or spots that are good for beginners? Also what gear should I grab, I think ...

Been saying I'd do this forever and my wife was getting tired of looking at stacks of lumber. Got the whole thing built this weekend. Got my vise mounted, pegboard up with all my tools organized. Feels amazing to actually have a real workspace. Probably gonna spend more time out there than I should ...

I see food and I eat it. Been using this one since the 90s and my teenagers still roll their eyes every single time. That's when you know it's a classic.

So I'm lying there on the couch supposedly watching the kids while they're supposed to be napping and I fall asleep. Wake up to my daughter standing right next to my face just staring at me. She goes 'Dad you're sleeping. That's not watching us.' Busted. My wife loved this for some reason and won't ...

I'm getting really into reverse searing steaks on my new grill. Been watching a bunch of YouTube videos and finally nailed it last weekend. Kids were actually impressed which never happens lol. Anyone got good recipes or techniques to share? Looking to up my grilling game before the 4th of July cook...

Wanted to get them interested in actually building something so we designed and built a basic workbench together. My 9 year old nailed most of the screws and my 6 year old was the official painter. Was messy and took forever but seeing them proud of what we made was awesome. Plus now they want to ac...

Anyone else deal with constant worry that you're screwing up your kids? I have two boys 7 and 9 and I'm always in my head about whether I'm doing enough, being present enough, saying the right things. My wife says I'm fine but I can't shake this feeling that I'm missing something or letting them dow...
