It was just a little Dr. Seuss book with like 100 words but he did it all by himself. No help from me or my wife. Dude was so proud he wanted to read it again immediately. I may ha
Been working on this all summer. She was so scared of falling and I must have ran behind her for like 50 times holding the seat. Then one day last weekend I let go without telling

Usually when I try to help with school stuff my 9yo will just zone out or ask his mom instead. Today he had a math problem and actually sat there while I worked through it with him
This might sound dumb but I'm genuinely excited about this. We started a little garden in the backyard and let them pick what we grew. They chose carrots and tomatoes mostly. Seein

We were at the park and some older kid was being mean to a smaller kid. My son went over and told him to stop, stood up for the little kid even though the bully was bigger. When we
Had a rough conversation with my 16yo daughter about some poor choices she was making. Thought it went terribly. A week later she thanked me for caring enough to say something hard
He's 11 and never really showed interest in working with his hands. Saw me fixing the deck railing and asked if he could help. Spent the whole Saturday showing him how to measure,
Been working with him for like 6 months on this. He kept giving up and asking me to do it. This morning he just did it. Both shoes. No help. I may have teared up a little bit not g
I know this sounds stupid but I always dreaded camping trips. Cold nights, bugs, no wifi, kids complaining. Decided to just go for it last weekend with a better tent and actually p
We were sitting on the couch this morning and out of nowhere she goes 'Daddy I love you so much.' Nothing fancy, no context, she just said it. Made me tear up a little not gonna li
