My 6 year old asked the cashier if the bananas were ripe. I said 'no they're just going through a phase.' My wife walked away from me. Worth it.

Threw together pizza dough the night before, woke up early and let each kid design their own pizza. One did scrambled eggs and bacon, one did sausage and cheese, my daughter did some wild combination with pepperoni and maple syrup. They were invested in every step. Everyone ate what they made withou...

Divorce has been finalized for 8 months but every Friday pickup feels like I'm walking through a minefield. My ex wife is always pointing out something I did wrong or didn't do with the kids. Just yesterday she complained I gave them sugary cereal. I feel like I can't do anything right. How do other...

Started playing Minecraft with my 9 year old and it's legit become our thing. He's teaching me stuff, we're building together, talking about his day while we play. Never thought I'd say this but screen time spent with your kid is totally different than screen time alone. Anyone else find gaming is a...

I was making pancakes this morning and did the whole thing where I pretended the spatula was a microphone and sang the breakfast song in a terrible voice. He absolutely lost it. Hasn't laughed like that in a while. These little moments are everything man.

Guys, I'm having a rough time. My kids are watching me and I know it. I lost my temper with my oldest yesterday over something stupid and immediately felt convicted. How do I teach them about patience and grace when I'm clearly wrestling with the same stuff? I pray about it but some days I feel like...

Left my job at a tech company making decent money to stay home with the kids when my wife got promoted. Honestly thought I'd hate it but man, I don't miss the 6am commute or the meaningless meetings one bit. What I DO miss is having my own money and not asking for permission to buy things. The ident...

Got some nice ribeyes sitting in the fridge and planning to do a full cookout Saturday. My neighbor said he's got his smoker going too so we might do a friendly competition. Also doing corn on the cob with compound butter and some grilled vegetables. Kids want kabobs. Gonna be a good day. Anyone hav...

Got the call from the school nurse, my son had a fever and needed to be picked up. I was in the middle of pitching to a potential client. Had to excuse myself and leave. My boss wasn't happy but what was I supposed to do? That's my kid. Feeling pretty resentful about the expectation that I should so...

My 9 year old keeps asking for Robux. I've told him no like a hundred times but now he's asking for them as a birthday present. All his friends play it and he feels left out without the premium stuff. Do I cave or hold the line? This feels like the start of something I don't want to deal with.

My wife is determined to exclusively breast feed which is great but I feel kind of useless at night. She's doing all the feedings and I'm just sitting there. I've been changing diapers and trying to get bottles of water ready but is there anything else I should be doing? Want to actually help and no...

They were literally just Bisquick pancakes from a box with chocolate chips. But apparently that's all it takes. She gave me a huge hug and everything. I'm keeping this in my back pocket for when I inevitably mess something up later.

Went to the grocery store and forgot why I was there. Had to call my wife to ask. She just said "this is why I send you with a list" and hung up. I bought milk anyway because that's always on the list. Pretty sure I still forgot what I actually needed.

I asked my 7 year old why he was reading the dictionary. He said he wanted to improve his vocabulary. I told him it was a good idea because his current words weren't very descriptive. He looked at me dead serious and said 'Yeah Dad, kind of like your jokes aren't very funny.' The wife is still laugh...

Got some time to myself tonight after the kids went down and I'm trying to figure out what to watch. Tired of the same old stuff. Looking for something I can actually stay awake through instead of falling asleep 10 minutes in like I usually do. Anyone got good recommendations? Doesn't matter what ge...
