Nothing fancy - just pancakes the kids made (with her supervision obviously), some bacon, coffee. But the effort? The kids made little cards. My youngest drew a picture of me that'
Took way longer than I expected but my 9 and 11 year old helped with pretty much every step. Got them doing actual work—measuring, nailing, problem solving when something didn't fi
Genuinely asking because I have two approaches happening right now. My 6yo's room is a disaster but he plays in there and seems happy. My 11yo's room is also a disaster but he can'
Saturday morning I was lowkey nervous about it. By Saturday night we'd done pancakes, played like 47 rounds of Uno, went to the park, and they actually went to bed on time. We didn
We can't seem to do anything without a breakdown. Breakfast order was wrong? Tears. Can't find the green crayon? Full meltdown. School said something kinda critical about his behav
Seriously asking for survival tips. My daughter will literally go barefoot in the snow instead of wearing socks. We've tried fun socks, different brands, just giving up... nothing
I know it's probably because I said he could have his friends over on Saturday but I'm gonna take this W. My 15yo actually wants me around when his friends are here. He didn't kick
My 5yo is in kindergarten now and the teacher said he still needs reminders about bathroom stuff. We've been working on independence at home but idk if this is normal or if I shoul

Thinking about getting one for my 7yo - he's got a ton of anxiety at bedtime and takes forever to settle down. There's like 50 options on Amazon and I don't know which ones are wor
Overheard my 10yo telling a kid at school to stop making fun of his friend for being bad at sports. The kid actually stopped. Teacher told me about it at pickup. I didn't even have
My 9yo son watches like every cricket video on YouTube and wants to take it up. We live in Minnesota. There is literally one club that does it like 45 minutes away. I support whate
My son does this thing where he's constantly like "And NOW I'm putting my shoe on, and now I'm getting the other shoe, and now I'm tying it..." for literally 20 minutes straight. I
My 6yo is being weird about naps now. Some days he's out in 5 minutes, other days he fights it for an hour. Are we close to being done with nap time? And is that a win or do I lose
Every Friday we just do frozen pizza for dinner. Nothing fancy. But for some reason the kids treat it like it's the best thing ever. Gives my wife and me actual free time on Friday
This might sound small but I've been working with him on this for like 6 months. Today he just... did it. Double knot and everything. I almost cried at the kitchen table lol. Wife
I know everyone jokes about how expensive and crazy it is but we just got back and ngl it was one of the best weekends we've had in years. Kids are 5 and 8, both old enough to reme
Been working with him since spring. Today at Riverside Park he just... did it. Rode about 50 feet before he got wobbly but didn't fall. My wife got it on video and he watched it li
