Commented on Brought kids to early service instead of sleeping in
Props for actually doing it instead of just talking about it. A lot of us say we'll get to church more regularly but then never actually make it happe...
Faith & FamilyFebruary 22, 20260Commented on Road trip to Denver with kids ages 4, 7, and 10 - logistics question
14 hours straight with a 4yo is asking for trouble honestly. We did KC to Denver with similar ages and broke it into two days in Nebraska. Game change...
Weekend MissionsFebruary 22, 20260Commented on Going back to work was weirdly... nice?
This is real. My wife felt the same way and we both agreed to stop feeling bad about it. You can love your kids and also appreciate the structure/adul...

Weekend MissionsFebruary 20, 20260Commented on Our attempt at cooking together was a disaster lol
This is why some parents just do the cooking and let kids "help" by eating the result. But the fact that you actually DID it with them is cool even th...
Weekend MissionsFebruary 20, 20260Commented on My son asked why daddy isn't at his baseball games
This is tough because the honest answer (the custody schedule doesn't line up) will feel like an excuse to a 6yo. But it's worth talking to your ex ab...
Co-ParentingFebruary 20, 20265Commented on My oldest asked me what my job actually does and I couldn't explain it
