Our son is 4 days old and we're completely wrecked. He wants to eat every hour and we're tag teaming but I don't think either of us has slept more than 20 minutes at a time. When does this get better? I love him but I'm running on fumes.

Got my new child support determination and it went up even though my custody time increased. My ex makes more money than me but somehow I'm still paying more. Has anyone dealt with this? Do I have grounds to request a modification or am I just stuck with it?

I've been trying to get my son into hiking for like 2 years and he always complained. Last weekend my wife suggested we let him pick the trail and surprise - he picked one with a waterfall. Made the whole difference. He led the way the whole time, found cool rocks, didn't complain once. We did a sho...

Spent about 6 weekends building a basic treehouse in our backyard oak tree with my boys ages 7 and 9. Safety railings, platform, rope ladder, the works. Cost us around 800 bucks in lumber and hardware. Best money I've spent. They helped with every step, learned basic carpentry, and now they actually...

We left the hospital yesterday with our daughter and now we're home and I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. She's sleeping right now but I'm too anxious to sleep. Is she breathing okay? How do we know if she's hungry? My wife is exhausted and I don't want to bother her but also need someone to t...

Took the kids camping up in the mountains for Labor Day weekend. Packed everything up Friday night and got to the site around 10pm. Set up the tent in the dark which was dumb but whatever. Next morning we wake up and realize I forgot the camping stove fuel. No coffee, no hot breakfast. So we did the...

So I'm reading all these parenting books about being Christ-like and leading by example, but when my 7yo spills juice on my work laptop for the second time this week, I lose it. I yell. Then I feel terrible because how can I expect them to have self control if I can't? My wife pointed out that I pra...

So my ex has been dating this guy for like 3 months and he's apparently at her place when the kids are there. I don't really know him and my oldest mentioned he was there during their bedtime routine. I'm trying not to be that guy but it feels weird. Should I say something or is this none of my busi...

I had this nice setup in the basement with my TV, gaming chair, mini fridge. Now it's got toy bins, a play kitchen, and lego everywhere. My son basically took over. Sometimes I sneak down there after bedtime and just sit in my chair and watch stuff but it's not the same. Do other dads deal with this...

I have my kids every other weekend and one night a week. That sounds okay on paper but I'm missing a lot of their stuff. School plays, soccer games, dentist appointments. The mom handles all that during the week. It's hard not being there for the everyday stuff and I feel like I'm just the weekend f...

Wanted to grab the new Nintendo game for my son's birthday and it's like 60 bucks. Plus they want another 20 for the DLC pass thing. I remember getting games for half that price. When did this become the standard? Makes me not even want to buy the stuff sometimes.

Got the platform framed out last weekend and we're ready to start putting up walls. My 9yo and 11yo are actually interested which is shocking. Safety is my main concern. Anyone done this before? What are the critical things I shouldn't mess up? I'm using 2x8s for the main supports in a pretty solid ...

Looking to upgrade from my old weber before summer. Mainly doing burgers and hot dogs with the kids, nothing crazy. Anyone have recommendations that won't fall apart after a year? My neighbor got some Traeger knockoff that seems decent.

Had him practice with me last night. Firm grip, eye contact, no limp fish handshakes in this house. Some of these young men today have no idea how to introduce themselves to an adult. If we don't teach them right, who will? It's the little things that separate gentlemen from everyone else.

Ok I know I'm like 10 years late but holy crap this show is actually funny. My wife and I are already on season 3. Why didn't anyone tell me Michael Scott was such a mess lol
