I'm a Lions fan and I should be used to disappointment by now but this year is different. We're actually good and then we just play like we've never seen a football before. Watching that game last Sunday with my dad and my 6 year old was rough. At least my son doesn't understand enough to be mad abo...

Just wanted to share because I'm still running on adrenaline. We brought our daughter home yesterday and I honestly didn't sleep at all. Not because I couldn't, but because I kept checking if she was breathing every 10 minutes. My wife finally told me to chill out around 3am. She's fine, she's sleep...

Had one at work today for no reason I can figure out. Heart racing, felt like I couldn't breathe, thought something was seriously wrong with me. Called my doc and he said it's anxiety but man it felt so real. Scared to go back to the office tomorrow. Anyone dealt with this?

Raised here in the South and we still understand that being a gentleman isn't about being soft. It's about being strong enough to be kind, having the backbone to do right, and treating everyone especially women and the elderly with respect. That's real leadership. That's what my granddad taught me a...

Had my 5 year sobriety anniversary last month and I'm just blown away by how much has changed. I was a mess, lost custody, sleeping on couches. Now I have my kids 50% of the time, a stable job, and honestly the clearest my mind has ever been. The thing that still hits me is my oldest actually wants ...

I'm tired of paying for 5 different subscriptions. Netflix has been lacking lately, Prime has too much junk mixed in, Disney is just remakes. What's everyone actually watching? My buddy keeps telling me I need to check out some show on Apple TV but I don't wanna pay another monthly fee just to be di...

Took my boys to the hardware store yesterday and the cashier undercharged me about $12. Most people would walk out but I went back and paid the difference. My 8 year old asked why and I told him that a man's word and honor is worth more than $12. He's going to remember that. It's the little moments ...

Took the boys camping for the first time last month and everything went wrong. Tent flooded, forgot the camp stove fuel, and one kid got food poisoning. We bailed after one night. I really want to try again this summer but I'm nervous. What am I missing? Any experienced camping dads have tips for ca...

I've been depressed for about a year and hiding it pretty well I thought. Went to my doctor this week and broke down in the office. He's putting me on meds and I'm starting therapy in a couple weeks. I was terrified about admitting this, especially as a dad, but honestly I think this might save my l...

Can't believe I gotta say this but if you tell someone you're gonna do something, do it. That's it. That's the whole thing. My word is worth more than any contract. I told my kids I'd be at their game, I'm there. I told my buddy I'd help him move, I'm helping. I told my boss I'd have the project don...

I had to have a real talk with my wife last year about some financial decisions we were making that weren't sitting right with me. Wasn't easy, she disagreed at first, but as the head of my household it was my responsibility to speak up about what I thought was best for us long term. We worked throu...

Just wanted to share that after weeks of chaos we finally got our 6 week old on a decent sleep schedule. We were doing eat, wake, sleep cycles and it seemed to click last week. She's going down at 9pm, we get a 4 hour stretch, then up at 1am, then 4am, then up for the day around 7. I actually got 6 ...

I've been remote for 2 years now and honestly sometimes I feel guilty that I'm right there but still can't stop for an hour to hang out with my kids. My 6 year old doesn't understand why daddy's in the office with the door closed when he's literally 20 feet away. Anyone else deal with this? I try to...

Got offered a job last month that would've paid more money but I already gave my word to my current company that I'd see a major project through. My wife thought I was crazy turning down the extra pay, but a man's word has to mean something. Three weeks later my boss remembered that loyalty and ende...

We've been trying different approaches and finally landed on something that sticks. No screens before school, 30 mins after homework on weekdays, more flexible on weekends but still has limits. Got one of those parental control apps that actually lets us enforce it without constant fighting. My 9yo ...
