Okay this is funny but also annoying. My daughter saw some TikTok trend about a certain food being "disgusting" and now refuses to eat it. Showed her the video and she's like "all these people agree so it's gross." I was like sweetie that's not how taste works but also kind of impressed by how much ...
**The plan:** - 4x8 ft cedar bed - Start with tomatoes, beans, lettuce - Kids can help fill soil, plant seeds, water Obviously I'll do the actual construction but I want them to own the planting/maintenance part. Any tips for keeping a 6yo engaged with a garden when nothing grows overnight? Also, w...
Went to buy a hammer the other day and every single one felt like junk. Remember when tools lasted a lifetime? Now everything is made to break. Looking for recommendations on where you fellas get your tools. I want something my boy can use when he grows up.
I packed the kids' overnight bags this morning and completely blanked on putting my daughter's epi pen in her backpack. Realized it 20 mins after drop off. Texted my ex immediately, she grabbed it from my place (thank god we live close). Daughter is fine, never had an incident. But I literally can...
Coworker said minivans are "giving up." I defended them. Have you SEEN the interior space? The sliding doors? Cup holders everywhere? Yeah it's not a sports car but I got 3 kids and I actually need to move stuff. I think minivans are lowkey the best kept secret for dads. Don't @ me
Switched roles internally to a job with predictable hours 5 months ago. Started keeping a little tally to see if I could make it through the holiday quarter without bailing on pickup duty. Just crossed the finish line yesterday. Small thing maybe but after years of scrambling, it feels HUGE. My daug...
So my son is 4 months old now and I STILL feel like I'm playing house sometimes. Like I'm babysitting and his real parent will come pick him up soon. Is that normal? I change diapers, do feeds, handle bedtime, all of it, but there's this weird imposter feeling. My wife said she felt the same way aro...
Do you guys pack your kids' stuff or does the other parent? Who's responsible for what? We haven't really nailed down a system and it's becoming a thing.
My daughter was spending like 2-3 hours a day on TikTok during summer break. The algorithm was just feeding her increasingly chaotic content and she was getting anxious about not having the "right" look or followers. We had a huge fight but I deleted it and replaced it with Discord for talking to he...
Took me like 6 months of saving and planning but I finally got the desk, the monitor, the whole thing dialed in. Got dual 27 inch curved monitors, new PC build, cable management actually looks clean for once. Ran a few matches of Valorant last night and man the difference is insane. Finally understa...
Signed him up for Code.org back in September as a "why not" thing. Honestly thought he'd lose interest in 2 weeks. But he's legitimately hooked. He's been building these little games and showing me how different loops work, and I can actually *see* him problem-solving in real time. Last weekend he s...
Because he was outstanding in his field! 馃尵 My kids groaned so hard. Mission accomplished.
My youngest just discovered running and has zero concept of danger. This kid will just full-sprint toward the street or a set of stairs with no hesitation. I can't get anything done because I'm basically just chasing him around the house all day. Meanwhile everyone's like "enjoy this age it goes so ...
We did the bassinet thing for 5 months (felt like forever) and this week moved our daughter to the crib in her own room. First night I checked on her like 47 times but she did great. We're all sleeping better and honestly the house feels less chaotic. Small win but I'll take it.
That's it. That's the whole post. Cheers lads 馃嵒
