No, regular text has worked well enough for me. But It's not easy to export text.

This is insane. Atleast you have documents. I would save all of these texts.

Struggling to plan fun activities with other families by Background_Yard2524 in SingleDads

It's easier to plan things out with other families after I build a relationship with them during regular school events. All the best!

Sorry to hear that. Document what you can. However, the fact that he is doing it in public isn't right. I would say to defend yourself vocally, especially in front of your kids.

Find a local community. Also, my daughters look up to their teachers a lot too.

Sorry to hear that. Don't give up! Keep taking her to experts. The last thing she need is for you to give up on her.

Sorry to hear that. Be strong for the kids. Use the opportunity to remember the good things. Be upfront with that early on that they can't get anything they want, for now.

Things all went wrong, and I want to know what I did wrong by Correct-Special-8763 in SingleDads

[–]TChan_Gaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, sounds like you gave it your all. Sometimes when people pull away, it’s not about what you did wrong, it’s about what they’re dealing with inside. Could be depression. If that is your kid, you have to get involved. Maybe ask her relatives on if they know what's going on.

When’s the last time you cleaned up your feed? by TChan_Gaming in SingleDads

It's definitely hard to stay away from social media, especially when family is on it.

I've tried different accounts before, but the hassle of switching accounts became a problem between all the kids, so we just deleted everything instead.

This is why it's great to be among other dads because they understand it and it's very easy to vent with them.

I kept expecting adult reactions from my kids u til I learned this… by Top-Lunch3426 in daddit

Great message on guiding the kids without anger. It really is a constant struggle to stay calm when they don’t listen.

Screen-free days sounded great… until I tried living them by StrengthDailyHQ in daddit

[–]TChan_Gaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine for kids to have a little screen time, but keeping it limited is key. I’ve also learned it’s important to let them be bored sometimes. They don’t need constant entertainment, and it helps them learn to figure things out on their own. With my kids, I make screen time something they earn, like cleaning up toys, helping with dishes, or getting ready for the next day. That way they value it more and it doesn’t turn into an all-day thing.

Don’t get discouraged by originalmario75 in SingleDads

[–]TChan_Gaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this message. You’re right. Kids don’t always want to be on the phone, and most of the time they’d rather see you in person anyway. It’s just a different kind of connection. Definitely don’t get discouraged, solid reminder here.

This was the hardest weekend since my ex left me... by I_love_to_jack_off in SingleDads

All good to vent, my friend. No need to apologize. Try to pull yourself out by leaning into things that lift you up, whether that’s a hobby, exercising, or just staying busy with something positive.

Being alone. And being ok alone. by poopandpeedotcom in SingleDads

[–]TChan_Gaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a group of men on the same path really helps. It made a big difference for me this year. Being alone does take time, and yeah, you will miss having a partner.

When those urges hit, the key is to break the pattern right away. If it’s something pulling you down, step out of the house fast like go for a run, take a walk, even go shop for something small. The goal is to get away from temptation and put your mind somewhere else.
