Using YouTube Kids for my 4yo on road trips to keep him occupied. Does anyone trust this platform or should I be using something else? I've heard stories about weird content slipping through. What do you guys use for long car rides?
So I finally scheduled a therapist after my wife basically told me I need to deal with my depression or we're done. Been putting this off for like 3 years. I don't even know what to say or how to start talking about this stuff. Part of me thinks I'm overreacting and don't need it. Other part knows s...
Because he was outstanding in his field! I told this to my 6 year old and he groaned so hard I thought he was gonna throw up. Pretty sure that means I nailed it.
I want to be the kind of dad who leads with love and shows Christ's patience, but man some days my kids test me and I feel myself getting angry instead of staying calm. This morning my 5 year old spilled juice all over the kitchen right after I told him to be careful and I raised my voice way too mu...
I said a trumpet. He stared at me for like 5 seconds then walked away. My wife laughed though so I'm calling it a win.
Every single text I send my ex turns into a fight. I asked a simple question about our son's soccer schedule and she responded with a paragraph about how I don't care about the kids and blah blah blah. I'm using one of those co-parenting apps now but she won't download it. How do you guys handle exe...
Dude. DUDE. I was NOT prepared for that. My daughter had a blowout that went all the way up her back during a family dinner yesterday. Poop everywhere. On the onesie, on the diaper, on my shirt. How are you guys staying calm during these? I felt like I was going to pass out. My wife was laughing at ...
My work keeps scheduling meetings at 4pm on Fridays which is when my son has soccer. I've asked them to move it but it's with clients so apparently I can't skip it. I've missed 3 games now and he's starting to notice. Told my boss I need Fridays off at 3:30 but he said that's not realistic. What am ...
So I'm at Target yesterday with my 2 year old in the cart, everything's going smoothly, we're just buying diapers of all things, and then it happens. Absolute code brown situation. And of course he's wearing light colored shorts. There's poop EVERYWHERE. On his clothes, on the cart seat, on me someh...
He asked me why I was reading the newspaper. I said 'to stay informed.' He goes 'Dad, you have your phone.' Then he asks if I want to hear a joke and before I can say yes he's like 'You are!' Absolutely got me. I don't know where he's getting these from but my ego is bruised.
Got a group of 11 guys together for a league this year, entry is $50. Draft is September 1st at 7pm virtual. Payouts go 1st, 2nd, 3rd. If anyone's interested let me know. We keep it competitive but chill, been doing this for like 6 years.
When I met my wife she had two kids, 8 and 5. I was nervous about it at first, not gonna lie. I thought my fun bachelor days were done. But stepping into this role showed me what actually matters. I used to care so much about stupid stuff - having the newest car, going out every weekend, making more...
Still can't believe my company let me go full remote last year. I was skeptical at first but honestly it's been amazing. I can have lunch with my kids, I'm here when they get home from school, and I actually get to see them before bedtime. Yeah sometimes I'm on calls while they're yelling in the bac...
Spent 12 years climbing the corporate ladder, making good money, absolutely miserable. Burned out hard about 3 years ago and decided to go back to school to teach high school math. Money is way less, like almost half what I made before, but man the difference in my stress level is crazy. I'm home by...
Guy asked to borrow my truck for a week. Didn't really know him that well. I politely declined and suggested he rent one instead. He got defensive saying I wasn't being neighborly. Here's the thing though: being a gentleman doesn't mean being a pushover. You can be kind and still have boundaries. Th...
