Been going to every meet for two years, seen her improve gradually but today she just crushed it. Dropped like 8 seconds off her time in the 100 free. When she got out of the pool
Woke up to burnt toast, undercooked eggs, and orange juice with too much pulp but honestly it was the best meal I've had in years. The effort they put in was unreal. Pancakes spell
My 8yo overheard his mom joking about how bad my cooking is (it's deserved tbh) and he actually stood up and said, 'Dad's spaghetti is good though. Better than mac and cheese.' I l
Told him I was reading a book about helium and he said 'dad you should put it down it's bad for your voice' and I replied 'nah the book doesn't lift.' He looked confused for a soli
This kid has been dominating me for 2 years straight. Every single race. Well not anymore. Got him on Rainbow Road and I'm still riding this high. He's already plotting revenge but
My 4yo was having a meltdown about wearing socks and I told him sometimes we do things we don't want to do because they're good for us. He looks at me dead serious and says "Like w
He's been struggling with reading and we've been at it for months. Teachers said he'd catch up, I wasn't so sure. Today he sat down with this book and read an entire chapter out lo
Took my 8 and 10 year old out on the lake for the first time without my dad there to help. We caught 4 fish, nobody fell in, and we didn't lose a single rod. My oldest said it was

I know this sounds dumb but I'm genuinely proud. Every Friday for 9 months I remembered to send something with my kid. Only forgot once and had to run home during lunch. Most organ
Been working with him for months and today he just did both shoes without any help. The look on his face when he realized he did it was everything. He's been running around the hou
Went as a dad from a 90s sitcom. Khaki shorts, fanny pack, new balance shoes, tucked in polo shirt. The kids laughed but my wife said I wasn't even trying, that's just me now. Got
Made a stir fry and didn't even tell them it had broccoli and snap peas in it until they were halfway done eating. My oldest goes 'wait this is good' and my youngest just kept eati
She's 14 and had a problem with her friend group drama thing. She texted me asking what to do. Not mom. ME. I played it cool but inside I was doing backflips. Gave her some actual
Apparently I've been helping him with his science project and it's really standing out. The teacher said you can tell a parent is invested when a kid actually understands what they
He's 13 now and has been destroying me for the last year. Today we played one on one and I actually won. One game. He says I got lucky and we're playing again tomorrow but I don't
Been working with him on this for like 3 months. Today he just did it without asking for help. I know it sounds small but man I got emotional watching him figure it out. He looked
I was fully prepared for the whining and fighting. Had an exit strategy planned. But nope. Caught some fish, made s'mores, told ghost stories by the fire. My 8 year old fell asleep
We were just sitting on the couch eating lunch and he goes, 'Daddy you're my best friend.' I almost lost it. Wife caught me getting teary eyed which she will never let me live down
