His teacher emailed me that my 7yo saw another kid getting made fun of during lunch and went and sat with him. Told the bullies to stop. Nothing crazy happened but the teacher want
My son woke up excited, ate his breakfast without complaint, didn't cry when we dropped him off. I was READY for tears and clinginess and we got zero of that. Picked him up at 2:30
I genuinely can't believe it. He's 9, plays in a pretty competitive league in Austin, and this year it just... clicked. The team has amazing chemistry, the coach is fantastic, and
He knocked over his sister's tower of blocks on purpose (we saw it happen). Usually it takes like 30 minutes of us explaining why it was wrong and he acts like it's torture to apol
He's 7 and I just found out he's been wearing velcro shoes the entire time. How did I miss this?? Wife is laughing at me but now I gotta figure out how to teach him and he's gettin
Not gonna lie, I was skeptical when he asked if he could help. Thought it'd be one of those situations where he gets in the way more than anything. But he actually paid attention,
My 7yo watches this guy constantly. I finally sat down and watched some videos with him to see what the big deal was and honestly? It's not terrible. He's not annoying, the content
My 4yo was doing great for like 2 months, then suddenly having accidents again. No new stressors that I can see. Just random accidents throughout the day. He's clearly embarrassed
So every Sunday I do my meal prep for the week (mostly chicken, rice, veggies - nothing fancy) and my son asked if he could help. At first I thought it'd be chaos but honestly? He'
My 7yo came home with glowing reports from his teacher. "Excellent effort," "great friend," "rising in reading level" - like all the stuff you hope to hear. But what got me was the
My 11yo got a C on a math test yesterday and I immediately felt like I messed up somehow. He studied, I helped him study, but apparently not enough? I know it's not my test but it'
My son just turned 5 and the questions literally never stop. "Why is the sky blue? Why do we eat? Why do birds have feathers? Why why why?" I love that he's curious but after about
Wife was out of town for work, I had the three kids solo from Monday-Thursday. Completely panicked about what to feed them that wouldn't be cereal and hot dogs. Hit up Costco and g
If you have a teething baby, throw frozen strawberries or mango in one of those mesh feeder pouches. Our 7mo goes CRAZY for it, it's cold on the gums so it helps with teething, and
It's literally just a printout that the school does every week but you bet I called my parents to tell them. My kid is the proudest little human I've ever seen. He keeps pointing a
My 9yo started asking really specific questions about where babies come from after his friend at school mentioned something. Wasn't really planning to explain actual sex ed yet but
This morning my 8yo left a note on my bedside table that said "I'm sorry I was mean to you yesterday. I love you dad." He drew like little hearts and everything. We had a minor con
Why is it so hard to find something my kids will actually eat that doesn't cost a million dollars and isn't absolute garbage? I'm over here trying to do sandwiches with veggies, so
We did a simple backyard thing for our 6yo's birthday - no decorator, no expensive character, just some pizza, games, and a sheet cake from Trader Joe's. The kids had way more fun
My 6yo started soccer this fall and loves practice, absolutely loves it. But in games he just kind of... freezes up? Like he knows how to kick the ball but won't go for it when it'
