Got two kids to school on time with lunch boxes, homework folders, and permission slips. Everyone had shoes. I even packed snacks that weren't just goldfish crackers. The bar is lo
15yo asked if we could work on the truck together yesterday. Didn't ask, didn't have to be dragged. Just asked if I needed help. We spent 3 hours changing the oil and working on so
We were just sitting in the backyard eating ice cream and out of nowhere she goes 'Daddy you're the best daddy ever in the whole world.' I almost cried. These moments are worth mor
We've been working on this for like 8 months. He kept getting frustrated and I didn't want to push too hard. Last Saturday we went to the park early and something just clicked. He
We were just playing in the backyard throwing a baseball around, nothing special. Then out of nowhere my 8yo goes 'Dad you're the best dad ever.' Haven't stopped smiling since. I k
My daughter was so nervous about her piano piece. We practiced every night for two weeks. Today she got up there and absolutely crushed it. Didn't mess up once and the whole audien
We were at dinner and my 7yo just randomly asked me how work was. Nobody told him to. He was genuinely interested. Been teaching them empathy and it's actually working. Made my who

Unprompted hug and kiss when I got home from work today. That's it that's the post. I'm running on that for the rest of the week.
Put baby down drowsy but awake and he just went to sleep. Didn't cry, didn't fuss, just out. My wife and I looked at each other in shock. We've been sleep training for two weeks an
We're done having kids, we're happy with our three, but there's something weird about closing that chapter permanently. Not having second thoughts or anything, just noticing it's m
Packed up the tent, drove 3 hours out to state park, and my kids aged 8 and 11 were actually excited to be offline. We caught fish, made a fire, told stories, and they slept hard.
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
Found out yesterday he got selected for the competitive squad next season. Been going to his practices and games all spring and summer and the kid put in the work. Coaches said he'
Just out of nowhere while we were making chocolate chip pancakes this morning. I literally have nothing more to accomplish in life. Everything else is just bonus now.
She's 7 and usually I let her win like once every 10 races to keep it fun. But today she absolutely crushed me fair and square, got first three races in a row. She was jumping up a
