My wife and I have been talking about how to raise our kids with Christian values without making them feel like it's being shoved down their throats. We want them to own their faith someday but right now they're just going through the motions at church. Do we just keep modeling it and let them ask q...

So I lost my cool at someone in traffic yesterday and my kids heard me say some things I'm not proud of. My oldest asked me why I was being mean when we talk about treating people with kindness. That hit different coming from your own kid. I apologized to all of them and we talked about how even dad...

So I was standing on the sideline cheering for my son, got really into it, and completely missed my daughter's entire dance recital that was happening at the same time across town. Wife is still not talking to me. I honestly thought it was next weekend. I'm a terrible parent and an even worse husban...

Seriously I could watch that show on repeat forever. My kids walked in on the Dwight fire safety drill episode and even they were laughing. What's everyone's go-to comfort watch?

Just wrapped up my 12 weeks of paternity leave with baby number 3 and man, I don't want to go back. Those weeks were honestly the best of my life. Got to be there for everything. Now I'm sitting at my desk missing the kids and trying not to resent my job. I know I gotta provide but the guilt is real...

Spent all weekend building shelving in the garage for my tackle boxes and rods. Wife said it looked like a tackle shop exploded in there so I figured it was time. Now I can actually find my stuff instead of digging through a pile of junk. Feels good man.

My oldest is 7 and keeps asking me why mommy and daddy don't live together. The divorce has been final for a year and he seems to be doing okay but lately he's been asking more questions. My ex and I agreed to co-parent respectfully and not bad mouth each other but I'm not sure how to explain this t...

After 2 years of working on it I finally finished my basement setup. Got the bar done, arcade machine working, pool table installed, and a killer sound system. Invited the guys over last weekend and they were impressed. This is my happy place now.

So my wife had our daughter 3 weeks ago and is dealing with pretty bad cracked nipples from nursing. Her OB suggested pumping exclusively for a few weeks to let things heal up. I want to be supportive but honestly I'm a little lost on what I should be doing to help. Do I need to buy special bottles?...

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...
