Looking for some real talk here. My wife and I have been pretty strict about media but our 10 year old is the only kid in his friend group not allowed to watch certain shows and it's creating tension. We want to raise him with Christian values but also don't want him to feel like an outcast. What's ...

Worked nights for 7 years and finally landed a day job. People keep asking me what's different and honestly everything is different. I actually see my kids at dinner now instead of bedtime. I coach my son's baseball team. I sleep in a normal bed with my wife instead of crashing during the day. The m...

Okay that's not true, everyone survived and actually had a great time. Set up tent myself, made breakfast on the camp stove without burning anything, kept the kids entertained all weekend. My wife was shocked when we came back and the van wasn't covered in trash. Honestly might do this again next mo...

Wife set it up but still. Pancakes, bacon, orange juice. My 9 year old even remembered I take my coffee with cream. They made a little card that says 'Dad you're the best at dad stuff.' I'm never washing that card. This is what it's all about honestly.

My son has been asking for a gaming PC for months. All his friends have one and he wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft with them after school. I'm worried about screen time addiction but also don't want him to feel left out. We already limit him to an hour on weekdays. If we get him a PC, should we...

Trying to get healthier this year and I want to actually stick with it. I have maybe 2 hours on Sunday afternoon to prep stuff for the week. What do you guys make that actually tastes good and doesn't get boring by Wednesday? I'm terrible at cooking so nothing too complicated please.

Got all three kids in the van yesterday and they all fell asleep within 10 minutes. Just me, the road, and my thoughts for 45 glorious minutes. Didn't even care that we were stuck in traffic. This is peak fatherhood right here.

My kids want to do something special for Father's Day and somehow agreed to let me smoke a brisket. I've done ribs before but never a full brisket. I've got a Traeger and like 8 hours. What temperature, what seasonings, how long does it actually take? Want to impress everyone but also not mess this ...

So my ex has been swapping weekends without asking for the past month. Says she has "emergencies" but then I see her Instagram stories at her friend's house. I don't want to be that guy who's rigid about the schedule, but my kids need consistency and honestly so does my work. We have a court order. ...

First time dad here. Our pediatrician cleared us to start formula supplementing and I'm doing it wrong constantly. How much are you guys warming the bottles? We're using room temperature water sometimes and cold water other times and I can never remember which one he prefers. Also is it bad that I'm...

Honest moment here - I don't fully understand TikTok myself but I know it's addictive and probably not great for a first grader. His friend told him about it at school. I said no for now but I feel like I'm just delaying the inevitable. When did you guys introduce social media and how? I want to let...

First year doing this with the guys from work. I know absolutely nothing about football stats but I don't want to look like an idiot. Any beginners guide out there or should I just go full mock drafts on ESPN until I know what I'm doing?

Just inherited my grandpa's old cast iron skillet and I want to actually use it instead of letting it sit in a cabinet. Been searching online but there's so much conflicting info about seasoning and cooking. What are your go to cast iron meals? I want to make something good this weekend.

Not trying to be dramatic but getting my weight under control actually saved my life. Started at 285, I'm at 225 now and still going. My dad died at 58 from a heart attack and I was heading down the same road. My kids were 4 and 7 when I finally snapped and decided enough was enough. Hit the gym, cu...

I swear my wife has like three secret stashes of good snacks that she doesn't tell me about. I'll be looking for something decent to eat and all I can find is the boring stuff. Last week I found a whole bag of the fancy beef jerky behind some boxes in the pantry. When I asked her about it she just s...
