Been watching too many bread videos on YouTube so I decided to make a starter from scratch. Fed it flour and water every day for a week and now it's bubbling like crazy. Made my first loaf yesterday and it actually turned out decent. Not perfect but way better than I expected. My family thinks I'm c...

I honestly didn't think we were going to make it. Kids were tired, wife was stressed, I was trying to keep everyone together through security and the gates. But somehow we all stayed calm, got everyone on the plane, and now we're heading to Disney World. This might be the best parenting win I've had...

I've been putting this off for like 5 years. Kept telling myself I didn't need it but my wife finally convinced me to go. First few sessions I didn't say much but last week something just clicked. My therapist asked me why I hold everything in and I just lost it in the best way possible. Still figur...

Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything. My 8 year old told me this joke was from the stone age and he's not wrong but I'm still using it. I also hit them with: I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. The groans are my favorite sound now ...

Told my kids we were having cereal for dinner because mom was working late. Youngest looks at me dead serious and says "Dad that's not a real meal, that's what you make when you have no idea what you're doing." Pretty sure I got roasted by a 5 year old. He's not wrong though.

Caught myself laughing at my own joke while explaining why we can't leave the porch light on all night (the electric bill!). Then I wore socks with sandals to take out the trash without thinking twice. My wife shook her head but I saw her smile. This is what peak comedy looks like.

Just cleaned out the grill and stocked up on charcoal, propane, and enough meat to feed a small army. Planning a big cookout this Saturday. Any recommendations for side dishes that aren't just the standard potato or bean salad? Looking to impress the family this year. Also open to sauce recommendati...

I said "It's 2:30." He said "2:30 what?" I said "2:30 to get up and go to work!" Wife groaned. Mission accomplished.

Flipped one in the air and caught it back in the pan. My 6 year old absolutely lost it, thought I was a magician. Then I flipped the next one and it landed on the floor. Guess I'm not so magical after all. But I'm riding high on that first one for the next month.

Been home on paternity leave for the last 6 weeks and honestly it's been amazing spending time with my daughter. Now I have to go back and I'm dreading it. Not because of work but because I'm gonna miss so much. My wife is doing daycare but still. Does this guilt ever go away? Or do you just get use...

Started letting my 9yo earn gaming time through chores and homework. He gets 30 minutes for every A on a test, can lose it for not doing his chores. Honestly it's been pretty effective. He's more motivated than when I was just saying no all the time. The key is making it a choice he can control. Tho...

First year doing this with my buddies and I have no idea what I'm doing. I've got the 6th pick overall. Should I go RB or WR first? Also is it weird that I've spent like 8 hours looking at rankings when I should be doing yard work lol

My 7 year old has watched approximately 47 million slime making videos in the last week. I finally let him make some and now my kitchen looks like a science experiment went wrong. Send help and paper towels.

Been working with my 8 year old on his handshake. His mom thinks I'm being old fashioned but I believe a firm handshake and eye contact says everything about a man's character. Started noticing he was doing that weak fish grip thing with some of my friends and it embarrassed me honestly. Spent 15 mi...

Had to have a serious talk with my oldest today. He rolled his eyes at his mother when she asked him to take out the trash. I don't care if he's 16 and thinks he's grown, that kind of disrespect toward the woman who raised him won't fly in my house. Made him apologize without excuses and he's going ...
