I know everyone says "family camping is chaos" but we just got back from 4 days in Shenandoah and it genuinely went well. The kids (7, 9, 12) hiked without complaining, we cooked d
Was getting frustrated about some work stuff and my 8yo goes "Dad you're being like the characters in that movie who can't solve the problem because they're too angry. Maybe try so
Prepared for complete chaos - got snacks, sunscreen, water, the whole thing. Surprisingly everyone stayed relatively content the entire time. My 6yo got super interested in the amp

My 5yo has eaten nothing but buttered noodles with parmesan for literally 6 days straight. ONLY this. No sauce, no veggies, nothing. Our pediatrician said it's fine as long as we k
So my wife organized this whole thing where the kids (3, 7, and 9) had to come up with dad jokes and judge mine. I was absolutely demolished. My best was "Why did the scarecrow win
So I work from home 3 days a week and my daughter (4, almost 5) has started this thing where she NEEDS me for something the EXACT moment I'm on a call. Like, within 30 seconds. It
