He plays it every chance he gets. I set a 1 hour limit on school days but he literally cries when time is up. His friends all play it so I get why he wants to be on it but man this is exhausting. Is this normal? Should I be worried about addiction at this age or am I just being a paranoid dad?
I coached her soccer team this season and after the final game she hugged me and said she was proud I was her dad. I'm not gonna lie, I had to go to the garage for a minute after that. Best feeling in the world. That's why we do this stuff right here.
I said I was just giving them a little motivation. You could say I'm trying to help them grow. She didn't laugh. She never laughs at my jokes but my kids do and that's all that matters. Wait until they're teenagers and they realize I'm hilarious.
Changed my toddler's diaper this morning and it literally went up to his neck. We're talking full exorcist situation. Had to throw his outfit away, wash him down like he was a car, and by that time I'm already 20 minutes late for work and haven't had coffee. Wife is laughing at me the whole time. Th...
My kids wanted to go to the park yesterday and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt dead inside, just sat on the couch. They ended up watching screens all day because I couldn't parent. I hate myself for this. My wife is supportive but I can see the disappointment in her eyes. I'm on meds a...
Kid asks me 'Why did the coffee file a police report?' I have no idea so I ask. He says 'Because it got mugged!' Then he laughs at his own joke for like 5 minutes. I've been beaten at my own game. He's already better at dad jokes than me.
Anyone else just lying awake at 3am thinking about how you're screwing up your kids? I start thinking about their college fund, whether I'm teaching them the right values, if I'm too strict or too lenient, and suddenly my heart is racing and I can't sleep for hours. Wife is snoring next to me and I'...
Our custody agreement is pretty standard but it doesn't say what happens if one parent wants to take the kids on a longer vacation during the other person's time. My ex wants to take them to her parents for 2 weeks in July, which overlaps my scheduled month. Before I said no, I wanted to ask if anyo...
Because he heard someone had stolen a base.
I told my son I had to go to the bank to check my balance. He goes "But dad you have really good balance I saw you trip on nothing yesterday." I got got by my own kid. Worth it though because he was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. These are the moments that make the sleepless nights worth ...
She's been doing soccer for about 6 weeks and today in the game she actually scored. Didn't even know where the net was half the time at first but something clicked. The look on her face when she realized what happened was everything. I'm that guy in the stands yelling like a maniac right now lol. S...
Wanted to give a shout out to anyone still communicating with their ex through text and email. We switched to OurFamilyWizard last month because things were getting heated. Being able to see our messages documented, having that built in calendar that syncs, and the tone check feature has honestly be...
I told my son a joke the other day and he just stared at me and said 'Dad that's not funny.' Kid, you're six. You laugh at your own reflection. But then I realized he might be right. Maybe my jokes aren't landing anymore. Or maybe I'm just getting old. Either way it hurt a little lol. He then procee...
Inherited my father's toolbox when he passed. Old man never threw anything away. The tools are worn but they work perfectly. Every time I use them I think about him and all the projects he tackled. The way he taught me was less about the task and more about doing things right, taking responsibility,...
Every year I tell myself I'm gonna actually do mock drafts and have a strategy and every year I wing it. I'm probably gonna reach on some guy I watched one good game of in August. My league makes fun of me for it but somehow I still finish middle of the pack. Wish me luck fellas. Who's your sleeper ...
