My 4 year old is asking the real questions and honestly I don't have good answers. Pretty sure I'm losing the joke war with my own kid.

I said because laughter is the best medicine. He said no Dad, medicine is the best medicine. Then I realized he's probably right but also my jokes are free so jokes it is.

Been fully remote for 3 years now. Can't imagine going back. I do school pickup, I'm home for lunch, I see my kids actually wake up in the morning instead of leaving before they're up. Yeah my work hours are less structured but I get more done because I'm not commuting 2 hours a day. My boss is cool...

Left my corporate job to work with my dad's small business. Better pay actually, way more flexible hours, can take lunch with my kids if I want. But now he's my boss and sometimes he forgets to be my dad and I forget to be his employee and we're both frustrated. We're trying to make it work though. ...

Work from home, kids are doing school from home. Haven't been outside except to grab the mail. Realized today I haven't seen a friend in over 2 months. Feel pretty isolated and honestly kind of depressed about it. My wife keeps suggesting I go to the gym or coffee with someone but the thought of it ...

Finally bit the bullet and started going to therapy after my doctor pushed me on it. First few sessions were rough, felt weird talking to a stranger. But after about 6 weeks I'm actually noticing a difference in how I handle stress and talk to my family. Yeah it's $150 a session and insurance barely...

Honestly expected it to be way grosser than it actually was. My daughter is 4 days old and I've already gotten the hang of the whole diaper situation. Wipes, fold it up, new diaper, done. My wife was shocked I offered to do night changes but honestly I want to help and I'm awake anyway since I keep ...

I was really skeptical about going but I talked my doctor into a referral and found someone I click with. Three months in and I'm sleeping better, not snapping at my kids over small stuff, and actually thinking about what I'm feeling instead of just pushing through. It's not a cure all but man it's ...

Work is draining, kids keep me busy, and I can't remember the last time I actually talked to a friend about stuff that matters. I go through the motions - work, home, sleep, repeat. Started noticing I'm just tired all the time and everything feels gray. My buddy invited me to do something and I almo...

Taking my 6 and 8 year old fishing for the first time next month. I grew up fishing but haven't gone in years. Want to make sure this is a good experience for them so they actually enjoy it instead of getting bored and frustrated. Thinking of doing a local lake with a guide for maybe 4 hours. Should...

This is insane. Hes either eating, pooping, or screaming and when hes asleep I just stare at him to make sure hes breathing. My wife is trying to rest but Im way too amped up. Is this normal? When does it get easier? Also why is there so much yellow poop?

Been practicing my BBQ game all summer and yesterday was the first time I actually nailed it. Dry rub sat overnight, smoked low and slow for 5 hours, came out tender and flavorful. The kids actually asked for seconds which never happens. Feeling pretty accomplished honestly.

They want me to manage a team now which means more meetings and probably longer hours. The raise is like 8 percent which after taxes is barely noticeable. My oldest is only 7 and I feel like I'm already missing so much. Is climbing the ladder even worth it anymore or am I just chasing something stup...

Just found out everyone has to be back in office full time starting next month. I built my whole life around being home three days a week. Don't know if I should look for a new job or just accept it. Feels like a punch in the gut honestly.

She said 'Dad, real men don't need instructions.' I told her 'Exactly, that's why your mom is assembling the furniture.' The look on her face was priceless.
