6 and 1.5 year olds....

We’re at the hospital now and we can’t wait to meet our little one. Mom’s doing great after they placed the epidural. Excited to join the Dad crew with you all. :)

Just want a simple jumper with maybe one of two toys in it. Looking for the circular type. Not the kind that is like a swing. Thanks!

What are your thoughts? It’s hot outside. Baby is gonna be shaded in the stroller or in the car. Is it okay for baby to just be in a diaper?

Our 2-year-old calls for me (dad) for almost everything. Nightmare in the night? Dad. Need to put on shoes? Dad? Need to be picked up? Dad. Mom tries to do something? No, dad!...

It’s a big step forward…

My two year old stood up, looked at me, said “I love you dada,” and then gave me a big hug. That can turn even the worst of weeks around.

Heavy metal puked like 6 times, drank some water and cooked down some. Felt better about 5 minutes later, so I went out and finished my yard and did my neighbor’s....

It was a 2-act show and she was going on in the second act. We watched the first act together (which ran about an hour and a half) and then her mom took her backstage during intermission. She was the second dance and when she came on with her group I had the biggest feeling of pride I have have every felt in my life....

Driving to camp a local radio station was doing one of those fake call-in drama segments. My 12yo asked what I thought about the situation. I explained that those segments are fake and that the “callers” are local improv artists or out of work actors. After listening to the segment, my 12yo said”You can tell by their fake...

Well, dads—it’s official, I’m old. Strained my back lifting the glass table top on Saturday. Finally had to go to urgent care today because the pain is so bad. No activity or “activity” for at least 7 days....

Going on extended leave today for 8 weeks and I am so looking forward to spending quality time with my son (and wife). He's really starting to develop and is becoming more of a "person" every day....

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day! Might be a bit early for most of the world, but the Australian Dads already are in their special day. Lol...

Hey, just wanted to thank you for making a place here. Hope we can keep the same positivity and support going. Not sure how things entirely work yet on the fediverse but I seem to be getting the hang of it....

Anyone have any experience building tree houses? Wondering about costs and how to achieve structural integrity. I think the most daunting thing for me is to ensure the floor can hold up a good amount of weight. (I wanna play too lol)

Anyone have any good suggestions? Educational stuff is good, but I’m also interested in other games that kids can play solo or with parents. (We’re a PC gaming house, but I’m open to suggestions for any platform.)

My 2 year old daughter gets along great with her newborn sister, and they’ve had some sweet moments. But my toddler has claimed dibs on every play mat, baby chair, and swing. The “mine” phase arrived quite suddenly, and sometimes with hilarious results (imagine a 3-foot-tall toddler’s legs just dangling from a baby...

So Mario Party (specifically Mario Party 2) was big part of my childhood and today I played Mario Party Superstars for the first time with my 4 year orld daughter. We just played minigames and man she was TERRIBLE lol. But we had the best time playing for an hour or so. Her favorite minigame was the one where you catch falling...

Hello everyone,...
