The problem with teaching your kid that they can do ‘anything’ is that when they are feeling ambitious, you as a parent have to teach them ‘everything’

Like my 7y/o wants to enter a writing contest at school. Guess who’s gonna have to teach her how? 😎

Last night I got to attend my 7y/o's 'Christmas Concert'. She sang and danced to her heart's content. The packed gymnasium gave her class a rousing applause. She was so happy!

I talk a lot of trash about my wife and kid online because they truly drive me mad! But being a husband and father is my greatest joy.

Thankful to have these opportunities to be present during a time when things look meek and grim.

First snowfall of the season means first snow clearing of the season!

Even with a snow blower, I feel nauseous and out of breath. I’m so out of shape 🤢🤮.

2025 is the year I get fit!

This time every year I pretend like I'm going to treat myself to a Massage Chair

And every year I hammer the forums and search high and low for a deal but come up empty handed.

Then I forget I need one until November/December next year :)

How come women put “dark smokey” makeup around their eyes to look sexy

But when I show up to work with dark circles around my eyes I get told I look like trash?

HUH?

Exhausted, I finally make it home after fighting through traffic for an hour.

Now I get to make dinner for my family which isn’t tiring at all.

Our parent’s generation only needed 1 income to financially support a family while the other stayed home and kept things in order.

Boomers ruined everything 😤

Monday morning… my whole body is sore from a weekend full of yard and house work. Legs, back, arms… I’m busted.

I need a day off from my days off 😩

Was able to admire my freshly raked lawn for about 5mins before a sudden gust of wind blew in my neighbor’s leaves on to my side again.

Kill me

What was that meme?

Nothing recharges me after a long week at work like 2 days of laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, meal prep, social obligations, kids activities, finding parking at the mall, lineups to see Santa.

My kid just told me she’s growing out of Bluey and doesn’t want any Bluey stuff for Christmas - it’s all about Pokemon now.

Kinda sad. I LOVE Bluey. Such a wholesome and funny show.

Gonna need a minute to mourn the loss 🥺😢 Don’t want to be the weirdo dad still watching kids shows (ignore my collection of action figures 😅)

Took my kids iPad away after she was being a jerk.

Just made my life doubly harder as now I have to keep her entertained instead.

Don’t want to punish her with anything that could show up in therapy 20yrs from now 😩

Doesn't matter how old I get or how much money I make. I'll still get yelled at by my parents for spending too much on something that they seemingly could have gotten or done cheaper.

🤡 #adulting #ageing #parenting #dadlife

Last night, I tell my kid "We have to leave early tomorrow morning. Daddy has an appointment at 8am"

So naturally, I get to my appointment at 9:05am.

Don't have kids.

Forget paying bills! It's 11.11 Day!

Bought 3 action figures and a bunch of small plastic accessories for my kid including knockoff Crocs Jibitz

My car is making all sorts of weird noises and my basement is flooding - but 11.11 only comes once a year kids!
