Don't come at me. My son is 6 and just started and we've been to 4 games. They're just... standing around mostly? There's like 15 minutes of actual soccer happening in a 45 minute
So my 4yo was doing amazing about 2 months ago. Then his little brother was born and boom - back to accidents pretty regularly. I know it's normal and he's just adjusting but man i
Okay so we've been playing casually for like 2 years. He's been watching some YouTube channel about chess strategy (which I didn't even know). Last weekend he straight up executed
Insisted on getting dressed entirely by himself. Took 25 minutes. He came out wearing his Spider-Man shirt backwards, shorts on inside out, and one shoe. Did I fix it? No. Let him
My son (9) wants to do competitive robotics instead of baseball or soccer like the other dads' kids talk about. Which is GREAT, I'm genuinely excited about it, but also now I'm the
I see posts here about kids getting 30 mins a week and I'm like... what? My 8 and 11 year olds probably average an hour to two hours a day depending on the week. We use it strategi
Our 6yo scored his first actual goal in his U8 soccer league game today. Might sound small but this kid has been nervous about sports forever and we've been working with him on jus

I don't even know what to do with this. They had a fight over something dumb (aren't they always?) and he went to his room. 20 minutes later he comes down with this letter. Said he
Been working on this since last year. This morning he just... did it. Both shoes. Didn't ask me once. I literally teared up a little bit. He's been refusing to wear velcro shoes sp
Asking for myself. We do the whole routine - bath, story, quiet time, no screens after 7. Kid is STILL awake at 9:30 singing to himself. Not upset, just... vibing. I'm the one fall
I didn't even ask for it. Just woke up Saturday morning and she was like "we're taking them to her mom's for the day, you're staying home." I honestly didn't know what to do with m
He's been training for like weeks. Blue Shells, drift boosts, the whole thing. Finally got first place in Rainbow Road and now he's made himself a little trophy out of paper and ta
Not even because the coach said to. She ASKED. We did drills in the driveway for 30 mins and she was so focused. Totally different energy than when I suggest stuff. Now she's askin
My 6yo is absolutely fascinated by garbage trucks. Not in a passing interest way - he wants to learn EVERYTHING about them. We've watched like 30 YouTube videos, checked out books
Did it. Ages 4, 6, and 9. By myself. For 5 hours. And nobody got lost, nobody melted down (okay one small thing with the 4yo and cotton candy but we recovered), and we all had a gr
If you have a kid aged 6-10 who likes tech stuff, get this thing. Costs like $80 on sale sometimes. My son got it for his birthday and he's been playing with it for 3 weeks straigh
