Just signed up for a fishing trip with my buddies next month. Haven't been out in like 5 years because life got crazy with the kids. Really excited but also terrified my gear is all garbage now. Gonna hit up the local shop this weekend and see what I actually need. Hopefully catch some walleye and g...
We just started season 2 of Ted Lasso and honestly it's perfect for a tired dad. Funny but not too heavy. Wife is into this new true crime show but I keep falling asleep 20 minutes in. What's everyone else on?
Company is giving me 3 months and I'm excited but also nervous. My boss seems cool about it but I work in a competitive industry and I'm worried about falling behind. Plus honestly I don't know if I'll be good at staying home all day with a newborn. Anyone been through this? Tips appreciated.
Guys I know this is a small thing but I am PUMPED. We've been doing 2 hour stretches for the past month and last night she actually went 3 hours between feeds. Wife and I both got real sleep for the first time since the hospital. Feeling like a new man today.
Our son is 2 weeks old and makes these crazy grunting and squeaking sounds all night long. He's not crying or seeming uncomfortable but it's keeping us up. Is this normal? Should we be worried? My wife is freaking out a bit.
He watches the same dinosaur documentary every single day. Knows like 20 different species and their pronunciations better than I do. I'm just happy he's learning something but I need a break from hearing about velociraptors.
Been working with my 8 year old on this. Eye contact, firm grip, not crushing but not limp either. He met my boss yesterday and nailed it. The old man actually commented on it. Small thing but it matters. This is how you teach character.
Coach has been benching my boy unfairly and making comments about his work ethic that aren't accurate. I've given it time but it's getting worse. Finally had it and requested a meeting. Went in calm, respectful, facts on the table. Not aggressive but made it clear this behavior isn't acceptable. Som...
Picked up a 14 pound prime brisket from the butcher yesterday. Trimming it tonight, going to dry rub and let it sit in the cooler overnight. Planning to start at 5am for a 2pm serving. This is my first time doing brisket so any last minute tips? I've got the basics down but nervous about nailing the...
Five years ago I was still going out 3-4 nights a week, sleeping till noon on weekends, living pretty recklessly honestly. My buddy called me yesterday to see if I wanted to go to Vegas for a bachelor party weekend and I actually turned it down because my son has his first soccer tournament. I don't...
So my 6 year old knocked on the bathroom door while I was belting out some terrible rendition of Bon Jovi. He goes 'Dad why are you yelling at the water'. I told him I was singing and he says 'it's not working'.
This is kind of silly but I don't care. Was changing his diaper this morning and he looked right at me and gave me the biggest gummy smile. My heart just melted. I know they say smiling at that age isn't really intentional but it felt like he knew me. Been riding this high all day. First real smile ...
Our son is 6 weeks old and the sleep deprivation is absolutely brutal. I know it's supposed to be normal but I feel like I'm hallucinating when I drive to work. Wife and I are trying to trade off nights but even when I get to sleep I'm so wired that I'm just lying there. Anyone else hit this wall or...
So we've been using YouTube Kids for our 5 and 7 year old but I feel like it's pretty limited on content. I know regular YouTube has parental controls but does anyone feel comfortable actually using those? How much can you really restrict it before they find a way around it anyway?
Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field. My 6yo groaned but then spent the next hour making variations of it. Pretty sure that means I've won at parenting.
