Seriously thought this would be a disaster. Three days in the woods with two kids ages 7 and 10, minimal cell service. They caught frogs, built a fort out of branches, roasted mars
She's 8 and I was NOT expecting the question the way she asked it. Got down on one knee and said 'Dad will you go to the dance with me' with the biggest smile. Had to play it cool
Been going to every meet for two years, seen her improve gradually but today she just crushed it. Dropped like 8 seconds off her time in the 100 free. When she got out of the pool

I know this sounds dumb but I'm genuinely proud. Every Friday for 9 months I remembered to send something with my kid. Only forgot once and had to run home during lunch. Most organ
Been working with him for months and today he just did both shoes without any help. The look on his face when he realized he did it was everything. He's been running around the hou
Went as a dad from a 90s sitcom. Khaki shorts, fanny pack, new balance shoes, tucked in polo shirt. The kids laughed but my wife said I wasn't even trying, that's just me now. Got
Made a stir fry and didn't even tell them it had broccoli and snap peas in it until they were halfway done eating. My oldest goes 'wait this is good' and my youngest just kept eati
She's 14 and had a problem with her friend group drama thing. She texted me asking what to do. Not mom. ME. I played it cool but inside I was doing backflips. Gave her some actual
