This is embarrassing but my 6yo asked me today what I do at work and I literally sat there trying to explain financial systems auditing to a first grader. Just kept saying "um... n
My 4yo has watched the Pool episode like 47 times. Not exaggerating. She asks for it by name every single morning. Don't get me wrong, it's a quality show and keeps her entertained
Looking for recommendations. My 7yo's current lunch box is falling apart and the latch broke. Don't need anything fancy, just something that keeps food from getting demolished in t
Every single night right before bed my 2yo decides to jump from pillow to pillow screaming "LAVA LAVA" and it's somehow the funniest thing that's ever happened to her. Wife and I a
So our 3yo was doing great. Like genuinely great. Been using the potty for solid 2 months. New baby sister arrived 4 weeks ago and suddenly we're back to accidents daily. I KNOW th
Took the family to Marcello's off Maple Ave in Springfield last week (been open like 8 months) and genuinely had one of the best meals I've had in years. Homemade pasta, sauce that
This has been going on for months. We'll put socks on him, he tears them off immediately. We've tried different brands, textures, colors... nothing works. He says they "feel funny.

I know everyone complains about it but honestly I kinda look forward to the 15 minute drive where my kids tell me about their day before they get bored and start fighting. It's lik
So my 11yo lied about homework being done when it wasn't. I found out from his teacher. We've already taken away screen time and made him redo it but now I'm not sure if I should d
Because he was outstanding in his field! 🌾 My kids groaned so hard. Mission accomplished.
My 4yo has decided broccoli, peas, spinach, literally anything green is basically poison. We've tried the usual stuff - dipping sauce, mixing it in, calling it "dinosaur food" what
Finally got some peace and quiet Sunday night after the kids went down and binged like 4 episodes. Forgot what it was like to watch something where I'm not worried about explaining
Every. Single. Night. Bedtime is 10pm, and at 9:57 one of my boys (6 or 8, they rotate) suddenly needs water so badly that their throat is apparently closing up. If I say no he act
"Yes, you still need to brush your teeth." "Yes, even if you brushed them yesterday." "No, rinsing with water doesn't count." "Because cavities hurt and cost money." I'm convinced
I get it, I'm old school. But there's something nice about Saturday morning with the kids watching their shows while I make pancakes and coffee. No rushing, no screaming about bein
So my 5yo dumped like 3,000 Legos all over the basement. On purpose. As an "experiment" to see what would happen. What happened is me stepping on 47 of them in bare feet and making
My wife and I have been arguing about this. She thinks 2 hours on weekends is fine, I think it should be more like 1.5 hours max. Our kids are 6 and 9. We're not talking about educ
