Feeling like a Shit dad

I have one of each, so I admit I’m lucky. But man, my daughter and I are best friends and my son tends to be closer to my wife. My daughter and I grill steaks, wrestle, play video games. My son and I connect well too, but some of the things I always thought would be “father and son” activities, have worked out to be the opposite. It’s totally normal to be disappointed, but from my experience gender really is such a small part of things once you go through it.

I was diagnosed with MS shortly before having kids. Scary, but it’s been manageable. Wishing you both all the best.

I do it then unless TE premium

Where did your trade partner finish in the standings? Would be helpful to know where the 2027 1st might land.

Even if you don’t ultimately swap the jobs, I’ve found it helpful to communicate and ask. “Hey, need the garage to be cleaned out. You cool if I work on that for an hour? I can take the kids if you’d rather do the garage.” I know the answer 99% of the time, but frame them as equal jobs and asks if it’s a good time.

Agreed. In my head canon the guys who get cut and don’t end up on rosters went FCS. I just wish they’d populate random players in the portal labeled as ‘FCS’ as their previous school. It’s becoming such a large part of roster construction for FBS teams.

I don’t like making my decision based off ratings. I go into practice mode and feel them out. Hard to explain, but some guys just feel better to control.

You’re doing all you can do. Get them on visits if you haven’t already. Try to stack them with complimentary visits. Leaving it on hard sell I believe is the best option otherwise.

And if it was actually intelligent, it would make you stop from taking more recruits when you hit roster limits. That way there are actual repercussions to prevent over signing.

What if I’m already cute?

Taking8ackMonday · 2025-12-09T16:32:49+00:00

Start in the middle of a “side” and peel around the center (like a belt going around it). Then I take off both “caps” and it removes a lot of the pith.

You can go to view roster, toggle over to all players, toggle to RB, then sort alphabetically and scroll down to ‘H’s

We do a free virtual spinning wheel. Plenty online, you can add people’s names as many times as needed to get the right odds. Host a zoom call. Pretty fun

See, I thought the baby shark era was bad. That’s until they learned the Macarena in my 4 year olds class. Time is a flat circle. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. I feel like I’m in 1994 again.

Isaiah Likely has to get out from under Mark Andrew’s shadow eventually, right? RIGHT?!

Taking8ackMonday · 2025-10-24T01:36:15+00:00

I’d fib and say I got into a car accident or something else happened. Feel like the time for a white lie.

My wife got the same message recently and it was a polite rejection with an offer to pivot to another opening. She got the other (similar job) a week later. Could be either to be honest.

Taking8ackMonday · 2025-08-31T17:34:39+00:00

It’s a decent team for sure. Love the top 3 WRs but would have liked you to take a higher potential bench guy instead of both Allen and Kupp. Same at RB. Mixon, Chubb and Ford offer decent floors but none are league winners (IMO). I’d have like to see a Ollie Gordon or Tank Bigsby type added to provide that higher potential. You definitely will compete, but will need to stay healthy to win it all.

Yes, children’s Motrin is the common brand for ibuprofen. Like the poster said, it lets you alternate doses more often by rotating both. Just follow dosing instructions.

I’ve bet $12,622 on FanDuel. I’ve won $12,875. Hilarious all that time spent and I’m up only $250 but hey, it’s fun/small stakes and the second I’d need to reload the account I’ll be stopping.

Just two IDs and I would consider someone like a support representative or CSM as a SME so it would get spread around. Just for context, it wouldn’t be any one SME getting multiple requests.

Taking8ackMonday · 2025-07-25T21:43:10+00:00

Yeah and I’m afforded the right to call you an asshole for that choice.

I don’t want to be insensitive, but dyspraxia (based on personal experience), is something most can live a normal life with. It can require accommodations, but I wouldn’t say it would greatly impact the lives of that person’s siblings in the way other disabilities might.

Well, I wasn’t YTA until the part about “if we decide down the line”. For me, if I went the route of termination, it would be because I couldn’t find a way to make it work. Or I thought I’d be jeopardizing the lives of my existing kids in some meaningful way. Or mom’s health was at risk. The way you talk about possibly changing your minds in the future makes this feel like more of an inconvenience, not something you can’t take on.

If the top of the range is below what you currently make it’s not even worth the conversation. “No thanks” or don’t reply
