Got back into fishing and it's saved my sanity

Used to fish with my dad as a kid. Haven't done it in like 15 years. Got a 3 and 5 year old and they were driving me nuts one weekend so I threw them in the truck and went to the creek.

Now we go every other Saturday morning. Don't catch much usually but they love it and I love it and it's like the only peace and quiet I get. Pretty cheap hobby too. Thinking about taking them on a real fishing trip this summer.

Love this. Between work and the kids' schedules I don't get much downtime but when I'm on the water it all just melts away. Your 3 and 5 year old are lucky to have that with you.

Fishing is the best reset button. I take my boys whenever I can and it's basically free therapy for all of us. The fact that you're passing on something your dad taught you is perfect.

Road trips have saved my sanity the same way. Getting the kids out and doing something they're into is honestly better than any vacation. Fishing with the little ones sounds like the perfect balance.
