We spent like 20 minutes building a house together and he said that. I know he probably says it to everyone but man it felt good to hear it.

We split last year and didn't have anything in writing. Now it's getting close to Christmas and we both want the kids. She's saying they spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with her. I want them overnight. We have no formal custody agreement yet and honestly I'm starting to think I need to jus...

I've been working with him all summer and today it finally clicked. He made it all the way down the driveway without falling and the look on his face was priceless. My wife got it on video and I must have watched it 20 times already. Best feeling in the world.

I started telling a joke at dinner and my oldest literally said 'here we go again' before I even got to the punchline. The disrespect. But also my wife was laughing which means I'm winning overall.

Planning a 3 day camping trip in about 6 weeks. Got my 5 year old a little camping chair and he's already obsessed with it. Want to teach them to love the outdoors the way I do. Thinking of going to a state park about 2 hours from here so it's not too intense for the first trip. Anyone have tips for...

I didn't, but now I'm concerned about my wife's memory.

Set my alarm for draft night, couldn't sleep because I was obsessing over mock drafts til 2am. Wife walked in on me scrolling ESPN at 1:45am like I was crazy. First time doing this and apparently I take it way too seriously. Send help or tell me I'm not alone here.

Tried to build a deck this weekend. Looked easy on YouTube. Turns out I'm not a carpenter and my measurements were way off. Now I have half a deck and a ton of leftover wood. Anyone want some pressure treated 2x8s? Might just start a fire pit situation with it at this point honestly.

Me and my wife used to be those couple that went out every weekend, traveled, just lived for ourselves. Had our first kid at 28 and everything flipped overnight. We barely have time to talk most days. We're not the fun couple anymore, we're the exhausted couple. But I gotta say, watching her be a mo...

We started doing 10 minutes of Bible reading together right after dinner with the kids and wife. At first everyone was resistant but we've been doing it for 3 weeks now and it's becoming this sweet thing. My kids are asking questions and we're actually talking about faith together instead of me just...

My 8 year old wouldn't apologize to his sister and I blew up. Literally told him off in front of everyone about how he needs to be like Jesus and forgive and show love. Soon as the words came out I realized I was yelling about forgiveness which is pretty hypocritical. How do you guys handle moments ...

Someone at work asked me why I bother dressing properly when I work from home half the time. Truth is, how you present yourself matters. It's not about impressing others, it's about respecting yourself and the people around you. My grandfather wore a watch and ironed his shirt every single day of hi...

My ex has been dating someone for a few months and now he's starting to pick the kids up sometimes. My son mentioned he slept over at her place a few times when they had the kids. This is bugging me more than I expected. Ex says it's fine and within the custody agreement but I feel weird about it. A...

Been noticing kids these days don't know how to give a firm handshake. Started working with my 8 year old on it - firm grip, look them in the eye, say their name. My dad taught me this way back and it's stuck with me through business deals and life. Anyone else making sure their boys learn this? Fee...

Real talk, I'm struggling with this balance. I'm trying to be the dad who shows up but also the guy who gets promoted. Can't be working at 9pm every night and also coaching my kid's team. Something's gotta give and I feel like it's always gonna be something important no matter what I choose. My boss...
