Why does a single set cost $80?? My 7yo wants the new Star Wars thing and I'm looking at the price tag like it's a personal attack. I get it—they're building blocks, blah blah qual

Decided this morning to settle an argument I've had with myself for months. Made pancakes on my old cast iron vs my flat griddle at the same time. Cast iron: Uneven heating, some

Got my son a Switch for Christmas thinking he'd play a reasonable amount. Now it's like pulling teeth to get him off Minecraft. I've tried timers, warnings, taking it away—nothing
I want to be the kind of dad who actually lands a good joke. Right now I'm mostly just improvising terrible puns that make my kids groan and my wife shake her head. Drop your best,
Got offered a position that pays like 15% more but it's got a brutal commute (I'm in Phoenix area). Right now I do 20 min each way and see my kids before bed. This job would probab

My 7yo has been watching more YouTube lately, mostly Minecraft building videos and some gaming content. It's probably 1-2 hours on weekdays, more on weekends. He's still doing home
I swear I do like 8 loads a week and we're STILL out of clean clothes somehow. My wife and I just looked at each other yesterday like 'where does it all go?' and neither of us had
