I gave him a banana for snack and he just looked at me and goes "thank you daddy". His mom's been working on manners but man that just melted my heart. Feeling like we're doing som

I know it sounds weird but my 8 year old wanted to help with taxes so I let him organize receipts and he was actually super into it. Asked a bunch of questions about what different
Told them the stupidest joke about a chicken crossing a road but with different endings for each kid. Like completely nonsensical but they were dying laughing. Wife was like what i

Took my 14 and 16 year old to a baseball game last weekend and they didn't complain once. They even put their phones down for most of it. We grabbed hot dogs, talked about their st
Been working with him for like 2 months and today he just took off down the driveway. My wife was recording and I'm pretty sure I had tears in my eyes. He crashed once into the gra
My coworker was complaining about her son's soccer schedule and I said 'sounds like you've got a lot on your plate' and she just stared at me. The guys behind me lost it though. Li
All I did was pour her cereal into a bowl instead of letting her do it herself because we were running late. She looked at me like I'd just given her a million bucks. Kids are awes
This might sound small but my 16yo came to me today with a situation going on with his friends and actually asked what I thought he should do. Like genuinely wanted my input. We ta
