Thinking about getting my 10yo daughter an iPhone 13. She's in a group chat with school friends and keeps feeling left out because everyone else has one. We're thinking of using Screen Time to limit apps and set bedtimes. Is 10 too young? Would a basic flip phone or Android be better? Any tips for k...

Just wanted to share something that's been working great for us. We started doing a 15 minute Bible study before dinner every night with the kids. Nothing fancy, just reading a passage and talking about what it means. My oldest asked the deepest question yesterday about why God lets bad things happe...

So my ex and I agreed to 50/50 custody but she wants to change it because her new boyfriend works from home and can help with the kids. She's asking if we can do 60/40 in her favor. I'm not trying to be difficult but this feels like it came out of nowhere. Do I have to agree to this or do I need to ...

Taking my son to his soccer tournament Saturday and we need to grab lunch somewhere between games. Nothing fancy, just looking for something that won't take forever and won't cost me a fortune. He'll only eat like 3 things so needs to be somewhere with basic options. Thanks in advance.

Spent the last month converting half my garage into a workspace for my hobbies. Built workbenches, pegboard organization, tool storage, proper lighting. Did most of it myself with help from my brother and some YouTube videos. Cost about 2000 bucks total. Now I actually have a place to work on projec...

Nervous as hell. We've done the classes, read the books, watched the videos but suddenly it feels very real that they're letting us take this tiny human home with just our dad instincts as backup. Wife seems calm but I know she's freaking too. Any last minute advice from you seasoned guys? What do y...

My 6 year old has discovered YouTube shorts and now he just scrolls endlessly. I try to limit it but man it's hard to get him off that thing. At least with regular YouTube there were longer videos so he'd naturally get tired and move on. These shorts are like crack for kids brains I swear.

I set up what I thought was a pretty secure PIN on the iPad and apparently my son watched me type it in once and memorized it. Now he's trying to access YouTube kids stuff he's not supposed to see. Do I change the password constantly or is there a better way to lock this down? This kid is sneaky.

This is both the best and worst thing that's ever happened to me. He's been doing them nonstop for three days straight. We're at the dinner table, at the store, in the car. My wife is threatening to leave. Send help.

Looking to take the family camping for the first time without dropping a ton of cash. Tent, sleeping bags, cooler situation. We're thinking 2-3 nights somewhere local. Anyone have good recommendations that won't require me to take out a second mortgage? Kids are 7 and 4 so nothing too fancy needed.

I'm not exaggerating when I say poop went up to her neck. I was alone with the baby and had no extra outfit in the diaper bag. Ended up buying a onesie in the baby section to change her into. Lesson learned: pack like you're going to war. Also my mom's not wrong about keeping extra clothes everywher...

Got a 1987 Honda CB750 that I'm slowly restoring. Some days after work I just go sit in the garage and tinker on it even if I'm not making progress. There's something about the quiet and the work that just clears my head. My 9 year old has started hanging out with me out there and asking questions ...

My teenager caught me doing the floss dance in the kitchen this morning. Not the dental kind. He just shook his head and said 'Dad please stop, you're embarrassing yourself in front of no one.' Mission accomplished.

Got some ribeyes thawing and thinking about doing garlic butter basted asparagus on the grill too. Last time I tried it they came out a little charred but tasted amazing. Kids want burgers but I'm tired of burgers man.

I was just sitting on the floor building Legos with him and he looked up and said 'Dad you're my favorite person in the whole wide world.' I'm not crying you're crying. These moments hit different when they're getting older and starting school.
