Okay so the thing was clogged and instead of trying to keep him out of it, I just showed him what was happening. Explained the parts, let him help turn the valve, the whole thing.
Been drilling these with him since September and honestly thought we were fighting a losing battle. Kid would get frustrated, I'd get frustrated, whole thing was a mess. But last w
Unpopular opinion maybe but I actually don't mind Cocomelon? Like yeah it's not Shakespeare but my 2yo learns actual things from it and it gives me 15 minutes to shower without a t
We've been using it for Spanish with our 7yo and she actually enjoys it, which is surprising. But it's gamified as hell - she's more interested in the streak than actually learning
5yo and 8yo. My wife was skeptical but I wanted to prove I could handle it. We went to this spot near Bend, Oregon. Cooked hot dogs, told ghost stories, one kid peed in a bush inst
Quick question: we're trying to get our daughter to sleep through without coming to our room 47 times a night. Some nights are better than others. It's exhausting. Are you guys doi
Thinking about getting a subscription for developmental toys for our 14mo. Seems pricey but keeps people organized? Has anyone actually used it or is it just Instagram marketing th
My son has started pulling out these insane arguments about why he shouldn't go to bed. Last night it was "but Dad, my pillow is lonely and needs a friend." I know I shouldn't laug

Got a note from the teacher that my 10yo is struggling with math. Which okay, fair enough, we'll work on it. But then got comments from two different family members about how "we n
My youngest just started kindergarten. Logically I'm pumped - more free time, she's excited, this is a milestone. But also like... she's not a baby anymore and I'm weirdly grieving
Took about 3 months of practicing but my son nailed it this morning. No bunny ears, proper loop method and everything. Wife was at work so I had to text her a video and she got all
Been playing rec league for two years and just got cut from the select team tryouts at 10 years old. Was ready to be sad with him but then he just said 'okay maybe next year' and a
So I'm still not 100% sure what happened here but I'm documenting it for future reference because this was the opposite of every horror story I heard. My youngest turned 3 last mon
So last month I accidentally ordered 4 identical toy sets instead of 1 (didn't notice the quantity box didn't reset on Amazon). Was SO mad at myself. But then I thought... why not
We've been playing casually for like a year. I'm not even good at chess but he's been studying the strategy guides he found at the library. Today he legit outplayed me. Didn't go e
My 5yo is super shy. Clings to me at birthday parties, won't participate in activities, cries if we try to push him. I'm not forcing anything but I'm wondering if there's a better
Just got invited to a "destination birthday" where parents are expected to rent a party bus for a 7yo's birthday. PLUS chip in for a pottery painting class. PLUS buy a gift. It's i
