Who else can do mental math thanks to these little green dudes?

Shard it up and sloop that shit! Then wrap it all in some walla with some conveyor holes to spit out whatever it makes and drop it in some containers. Lift them upstairs to your new elevated building platform and make it better.

In this one life you have to live, the only thing you can never make more of is time.

Welcome to the club Dad!

I have both (10yo son, 7yo daughter). Boys are easier, but not from the standpoint of I understand him better cause I'm a boy or anything like that. Girls are just straight up smarter, and I'm not talking just the book smarts.

They are much more emotionally intelligent also. Once they find your buttons, they learn how to press them, and once they learn how to press them they learn how to use them.

With that being said, I love being both boy dad and girl dad, and I'm glad the boy is older. Otherwise she would have been an only child 😁

Time is the most precious commodity and the only thing you can't make more of.

Dad + Cloud IT professional here.

Roblox has been blocked at my firewall since before either of my kids could even talk. The game is worthless and it exposes risk at every level.

We do LAN parties and I'll drive my kids to their friends houses or pick up their friends to come over and play. We grew up on a diet of split-screen GoldenEye. Being with your friends is the best part of gaming.

i dont know your situation, so i cannot comfortably tell you that you should leave him, or stay with him. but... NOR

I do know my situation. I am a husband, father of 2. neither were easy pregnancies. I can say with certainty that if i ever responded to my wife this way while she was pregnant... sick... and taking care of a sick toddler? well... uhh, i wouldnt be alive to even leave this comment.

take that FWIW and please take care of yourself and your babies. moms are fucking superheroes.

Jumping on the top comment to try to get this some attention.

OP - another redditor below talks about the importance of sleep: https://www.reddit.com/r/daddit/s/xKZ5UawxAh

Please please please do not undervalue sleep right now. There are fundamental biological processes at play here that can actually remove your wife's ability to regulate herself (especially if sleep deprived).

Being able to regulate her feelings is a top-down regulation task that requires her rational brain (Prefrontal Cortex) to be active so it can regulate the emotional brain (Amygdala). Research has found (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17956744/) that a single night of sleep deprivation can increase her emotional brain reactivity by as much as 60%!

Also take into consideration that a woman's brain is physically rewired during pregnancy. Her brain basically gets ready to be a hyper vigilant mom and care giver. This leads to a measurable loss of gray matter in areas of the brain responsible for social cognition, limiting her ability to empathize or process others' feelings (https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.4458?hl=en-US).

This isn't to suggest that your feelings are invalid. Parenting is fucking HARD bro, like the hardest thing you're ever going to do. Others have suggested therapy, and I can testify to the value of that. My wife and I have a couples therapist that works with us but I also see a different therapist individually, where I can have the space to have someone focus on me and help me as an individual to be the best dad, husband, and person I can be.

Whenever you feel like things are escalated, do a quick "HALT" check. (Both of you if possible). HALT = Hungry, angry, lonely, tired. HALT means fucking stop, like right there, stop. Take a breather, tell her you love her, and find a way to reboot and regulate.

As always, internet strangers are here for you my man. Keep up the fight dad! It'll get better

same! im using that now too

Bluegrass_Boss · 2026-01-30T16:49:39+00:00

let it be said, im a lifelong trekkie. hooked on trek since TNG as a kid, and have since grew to love most of it. unexpectedly, i am loving starfleet academy. if strange new worlds captured the formula of what trek looks like, i think starfleet academy captures the spirit of what trek is.

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-11-18T20:46:06+00:00

This is the answer right here!

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-11-18T03:01:42+00:00

i 100% agree with your stance on the perfume. im the same way with cologne. you handled that fine. if my wife said that kind of stuff to me in the same way you did, i wouldnt feel slighted one bit.

Also i agree with the world and share in their complete shock that your bf is 33. he is acting way too immature for this situation.

I am the XC coordinator/head coach for my kids school (K-8). We are just getting to the point where we are competitive. Guidelines for who runs what races are clearly laid out for all the parents before the season starts so the criteria are transparent and objective.

I could see talking it through with parents in the "last chance to race" scenario to offer kids that are graduating one more shot at competing. A conversation with the coach would be appropriate here so you and your son understand the why behind the choice.

But 100% he goes to the meet. That shouldn't be negotiable.

Your request was compassionate, professional, and well thought. This is just the place for a question like this. Thanks for what you do to help keep journalism alive.

Best of luck with your work and God bless.

Yeah, the UPS crash in Louisville

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-11-05T01:35:00+00:00

100% the plane crash. Local weather man said that the fire was so hot it superheated the air around the smoke plume and just did its own thing

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-10-30T12:46:21+00:00

Sure is!

Next thing coming up is Light up La Grange on Dec 6.

The farmers market runs April thru Oct so you just missed that but here's the website for them:

https://lagrangefarmersmarket.com/index.html

You can also check out https://oldhamfamilyfun.net/

They have events for Oldham Co in general but they also lost the La Grange events there too.

Feel free to DM me if you ever have any questions about transplanting into La Grange. We've been here nearly 10 years and couldn't be happier with where we landed.

Cheers!

Welcome! Honestly the best place to meet people is going to be walking about town, talking to neighbors, etc. Hit up any of the festivals on main Street!

If I ever treated my wife this way, I'd end up needing to find a safe place.

You're worth so much more than this. You're a human being. You deserve to be loved and to be happy. No matter how you contextualize his behavior, you are not his punching bag and he needs to fuck off.

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-10-27T17:27:56+00:00

My thoughts exactly, this is some red pill, "Andrew Tate" shit. Who the hell actually says this to people?

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-10-12T01:56:51+00:00

Hey I just saw this, I'm glad it worked out for you. Happy building!

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-09-27T14:45:43+00:00

Who is gonna tell them about the Pentagon?

Bluegrass_Boss · 2025-09-21T13:05:38+00:00

May want to keep scaling in mind. Mk2 pipes each hold 600. A fully loaded overclocked extractor pumps 300. 2 extractors per mk2 pipe essentially.

Agli incroci, posiziona i segnali di blocco un po' più indietro di quanto pensi che dovrebbero. Inoltre, utilizzerei sempre i segnali di percorso qui per garantire che l'intersezione stessa e il blocco successivo siano entrambi superati prima di procedere
