To get away from all the kids. Just kidding I brought all three. Send help.

I'm a project manager and some days I'm absolutely wired from dealing with deadlines and difficult clients. I get home and my kids want to play and my wife wants to talk about her day, but all I want to do is decompress. I feel guilty about it. I know they didn't cause my stress but I catch myself b...

Got the plans downloaded and materials list ready to go. Planning to start this Saturday morning. Main thing I'm worried about is getting the foundation level because I know that's where most people mess up. Any gotchas I should watch out for? I've done basic carpentry before so I'm not totally lost...

I swear I can't stop thinking about whether I'm screwing my kids up. Like my oldest is only 7 and I'm already worried he's gonna need therapy because of me. I know logically this is anxiety talking but man it's brutal some days. Does anyone else deal with this constant spiral of worrying you're a ba...

My daughter got a phone 3 months ago and it was fine, but the last month she's on TikTok like 4 hours a day. She's supposed to have screen time limits but keeps finding workarounds with the password or borrowing my wife's iPad. We've tried talking to her about it but she says all her friends are on ...

Used to commute 90 minutes each way to sit in a cubicle for a job I hated. Was making decent money but missing everything. My kids barely knew me. Last year I took the plunge and now I'm remote for a smaller company making less but working 30 hours instead of 50. I eat lunch with my family. I'm at s...

We went cold turkey on phones at the dinner table last month and I was worried my teenagers would lose their minds. Turns out they're actually talking to each other now? Like real conversations. My 15 year old is complaining less about being bored and my 13 year old actually asked to play a board ga...

Down by 3 with 2 minutes left and somehow we pulled it off. I was yelling so loud my neighbor knocked on the door to see if everything was ok lol. Best game I've watched all season.

Last week I said 'Well I'm not paying for that' and I FELT myself become my father. Then my 9 year old rolled her eyes exactly the way I used to roll my eyes at my own dad. The cycle continues. At this rate I'll be making jokes about gas prices and asking people to pull my finger. Send help.

Pre-kids me and the wife would just decide at 10pm to drive somewhere random, catch a late movie, go out to eat whenever. Now everything needs planning. Doctor appointments, school schedules, finding a sitter. Some days I really miss just... leaving the house without a 20 minute prep routine. But ho...

Just three words but they hit different when you've been grinding through the tough days. We were making cookies and she just casually drops it while laughing at a dumb joke I made. She's 5 and probably won't remember saying it but I'm writing this down forever.

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 when he realized he was doing it... man I'm not crying you're crying. Got it on video too. Gonna watch this one a thousand times.

I've been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway. My wife was screaming and I'm pretty sure I teared up a little. He crashed at the end but got right back up laughing. Best feeling ever man. These moments go so fast.

We're at 4 weeks and our boy is still on like a 2-3 hour feeding schedule around the clock. I keep reading about babies who sleep 5-6 hour stretches but I'm starting to think those aren't real. Should we be doing something different? Is this normal or are we doing something wrong?

My son asked me why I was angry at another driver the other day. I literally just finished explaining patience and kindness at breakfast. Hit me hard. How can I teach them about Christ's love if I'm losing it over traffic? Started being more intentional about checking myself. Praying for wisdom and ...
