STOP. He saw it on a sign and just said it out loud. His mom and I lost it. He was so proud of himself and didn't even fully understand why we were making such a big deal about it but he was grinning ear to ear. These are the moments right here.
Since the pandemic I've noticed I don't really have friends anymore. I'm home with the kids all day, wife works, and by the time anyone could hang out I'm too exhausted. Started joining a dad group at our local community center and it's actually helping just knowing other guys feel isolated too. If ...
Got a new full suspension and took it out on the trails by work on my lunch break. Feels so smooth compared to my old hardtail, almost felt like I was cheating lol. The dropper seat post alone is a game changer. Now if I could just find time to actually ride it more than once a month.
After like 8 months of having a torn up kitchen, we finally got the new countertops installed yesterday. Wife is so happy she keeps just standing there looking at them lol. Now I just gotta figure out how to fix the gap between the island and the wall before she notices. Anyone else do their own ren...
I don't even know where to start. I was a mess, lost my marriage, almost lost custody. Today I picked my kids up from school and they actually wanted to talk to me about their day. That used to not happen because I was checked out. The work was brutal. Therapy, AA, rebuilding trust that took years. ...
Never done this before. Got an old grill I'm converting to a smoker. Planning to do it next Saturday morning and have a bunch of neighbors over. Should I go offset firebox style or just use the grill with a drip pan? Also how long are we talking, like 10-12 hours? Don't want to mess this up in front...
She asked me what it was about and I said 'I can't put it down.' She rolled her eyes so hard I thought they'd get stuck. Then she went upstairs and told her mom the joke like 20 minutes later. She's learning.
Took the family camping for the first time. Tent flooded Friday night, my wife got food poisoning, forgot to pack half of what we needed. Should have been a complete nightmare. But you know what? The kids didn't care. We fixed the tent situation, moved to dry spot, sat around the fire telling stupid...
Been getting up at 5 to hit the gym before work because I felt like I was getting out of shape. But now I'm exhausted all day and my kids are asking why I'm grumpy at dinner. Feels like I can't win. Do other guys sacrifice sleep or should I just accept my new dad bod and call it even?
I told him it's in my job description. He said 'Dad, you work in accounting.' I said 'Exactly, I have to be good with numbers... and dad jokes are just counting on your laughter!' He groaned so hard I think he hurt himself.
My 6 year old has watched Bluey like 47 times. I know every episode by heart at this point. Wife says I should be grateful it's actually good but man I need a break. Thinking about hiding the remote for a week lol. What shows are your kids stuck on right now?
Been working with him all summer and today he just took off down the driveway on his own. Wife was filming and I'm not gonna lie I got a little misty eyed. He crashed into the grass at the end but popped right back up laughing. This is what it's all about man.
8 weeks off and I feel like I've been completely forgotten. My projects got reassigned, nobody really briefed me on what happened while I was gone, and my boss seems to expect me to just jump back in like I never left. Anybody else deal with this? How did you handle the guilt of not being caught up ...
Been working with my 10 year old on keeping his commitments no matter what. If he says he'll help with something, he follows through. If he makes a mistake, he owns it instead of making excuses. My dad taught me this and it's served me well in business and life. Saw him tell his friend no today inst...
Used to be all about it back in college but life happened, kids were born, you know how it goes. Found my old PS3 at my parents' place and grabbed a couple cheap used games. Been sneaking in 30 minutes here and there after everyone goes to bed. It's nice to have something just for me again. Any reco...
