Looking for good parental control software that actually works. We got our daughter a used iPad for school stuff but we need to make sure she can't access stuff she shouldn't. Don't want something too restrictive but need decent filtering. What are you guys using? Screen Time is pretty basic.
Took the family camping for the first time. Everyone said we'd be back by morning but honestly it was great. Built a fire, roasted marshmallows, told ghost stories. Only downsides were the mosquitoes were brutal and my youngest peed on my sleeping bag at 3am but he was asleep so I can't even be mad.
I was out of shape before, then kids came and I just decided I didn't want to be that heavy dad anymore. Wanted to keep up with them, you know? Started running in the mornings when they were asleep, eating better because my wife was too and we were trying to set an example. Lost the weight over two ...
My 8 year old beat me at Mario Kart last night and I'm still salty about it. Like I know I should let him win sometimes but also he's gotta learn that I'm the champion in this house. Pretty sure my wife thinks I'm insane for rage quitting with my own kid. Should I dial it back or keep the competitiv...
Never done it before and honestly was pretty nervous but turned out amazing. Turkey was done in 45 minutes and was somehow more juicy than the oven version. Had to set up the fryer away from the house and keep the kids inside which was its own challenge. Got a couple close calls with spilled oil but...
My 3 week old has these red bumpy spots all over his face and I'm freaking out. Pediatrician said it's just baby acne and totally normal but it looks awful. Is he uncomfortable? Should I be doing anything? Also why does no one mention this when they talk about newborns?
Married my girlfriend a year ago and took on two step kids ages 8 and 11. I went from being a single guy who thought he didn't want kids to being a full time parent overnight. It's been the hardest and best thing that ever happened to me. I miss my freedom sometimes honestly. I miss sleeping in and ...
Kid slept through. Wife slept through. I slept through. Nobody woke me up at 3am needing water or having a nightmare or needing to go to the bathroom. Might be the best I've felt in weeks. Small victories people.
Seriously asking. He watches videos about it, plays for hours, draws pictures of it. I get that it's creative and whatever but I don't understand the appeal at all. Am I just getting old? Is this the equivalent of me spending hours on sports games back in the day? Someone explain this to me.
This is my third time writing this because I'm so frustrated. We have a 50/50 arrangement but she keeps texting asking to swap weekends last minute. Half the time it works out but the other half I have plans or the kids get confused about whose house they're at. I've tried being flexible but it's st...
He heard someone had stolen a base. Seriously though, I took my boys to their first game yesterday and they were way more interested in the nachos than the actual sport. Still counts as quality time right?
Been remote for 2 years and I've actually been able to do school pickups and help out way more. Productivity is fine, maybe even better since I'm not commuting. Now corporate is doing this hybrid thing starting next month and I'm stressed. Childcare costs will go up, I'll miss time with my kids, and...
He's been struggling in math all year. We've been doing practice problems on the weekends which has been a pain but today he brought home that test and got an A. I'm not sure who was more excited, him or me. Took him to his favorite restaurant. Proud doesn't even cover it.
First time dad here. Wife wants to try breastfeeding but also wants to pump so I can help with night feedings. Midwife gave us like a million pieces of advice and now I'm confused about what's best. Anyone have experience with both? What worked for your family? My wife is nervous about the whole thi...
Looking to cut cable and keep up with football season. I've got ESPN+ but feel like I'm missing games. Anyone have a good setup? Don't want to pirate stuff but the pricing is getting ridiculous.
