We usually do something nice but this year money's tight and I'm exhausted and I haven't even started thinking about it. Her birthday is literally in 2 weeks. I know this makes me
Got invited to my coworker's son's birthday (kid I've never met, btw). The mom specifically said "nothing over $25" but then I see the party is at some fancy place with a live DJ a
We've had a casual dad group chat for like 2 years. Just memes, kid updates, organizing basketball games, whatever. Last week one guy started posting MLM stuff about supplements. N
My wife finally said something yesterday. Apparently he's been throwing away half his sandwich because I cut it diagonally instead of straight across. DIAGONALLY. She said "he told
Been trying to take my boys (9 and 11) to a real MLB game for like 3 years and finally scored some decent seats for not-insane prices. They're pumped. Camden Yards is supposed to b
Took my 8yo and 11yo up to the Appalachian Trail last Saturday for what I thought would be a nice 4-mile loop. Seemed easy enough, right? WRONG. My 8yo got tired after 2 miles, sta
My oldest just turned 16 and I swear he was 6 like 5 minutes ago. Everyone tells you this and you don't really get it until suddenly it's real. He's talking about college visits ne

Spent like 3 hours yesterday chopping vegetables and cooking rice and chicken. Packed it all into containers. This week I've actually made myself lunch every day instead of hitting
My 4yo has decided she NEEDS a 24-inch Bluey Squishmallow and apparently they're impossible to find right now. I've checked Target, Walmart, Amazon... they're either sold out or be
Been eyeballing the Fyra model for the backyard. Pizza nights with the family sound perfect but they're spendy and I'm wondering if I'd actually use it enough to justify the cost.
Why did the coffee file a police report? It got mugged. ...I'll see myself out. My kids groaned. My wife didn't even look up from her phone. 10/10 would tell again.
I'm losing my mind. We put him to bed at 8:30, he gets up at 5am like clockwork, and then he's cranky by 3pm. Tried moving bedtime earlier - nope, still 5am. Tried a wake-up clock
So I've been doing the frozen pizza thing on nights when I'm solo parenting and wife has book club. Instead of just... serving frozen pizza, I've been: Adding fresh spinach on top
Planning a family trip in June with the kids (5, 8, and 11). Never been to the SD Zoo and wondering if it's worth the drive from Phoenix and the premium ticket prices. Is it better
Got some tax refund money and want to upgrade the backyard. We've got decent space and I'm torn between these three things. Kids are 5 and 7. What gets the most use in your experie
I don't care what anyone says, dad jokes hit different. The groan is the point! If my 7-year-old rolls his eyes at my "why did the scarecrow win an award? because he was outstandin
