I told him I go to work so our family has a home and food and can do fun things together. He thought about it and said 'you're a good dad for doing that.' Didn't expect that kind o
Been working with him all summer and today it just clicked. He made it all the way down the driveway without me holding on. The look on his face when he realized he was doing it...
She booked a cabin upstate for next month with my brother and two buddies. Fishing, grilling, beer pong, probably some poker. No kids, no schedules, just guys being guys for 48 hou

Was being impatient with him about something small and he goes 'Daddy you're being grumpy like you told me not to be.' Kid called me out on my own lesson and I had to respect it. A
That's it. That's the win. We were at breakfast this morning and he just said it randomly. 'Daddy you're my best friend.' Made me tear up a little not gonna lie. All the long days
Three days, no cell service. Was worried they'd be miserable but they actually engaged. We built a fire, told stories, fished a little. My 13yo actually talked to me without it bei
Used a points system and let him cash them in for stuff he actually wants. No screaming, no consequences, just logic. He cleaned it in like 20 minutes today and seemed genuinely pr

She made these little coupons for stuff like breakfast in bed, one free back massage, movie night pick, etc. She gave it to me this morning and it's literally the sweetest thing. I
Got the call yesterday that he made it! He's been grinding all summer and honestly I wasn't sure if he'd make the cut since he's one of the younger kids in the age group. But the c
