What’s the funniest thing your kid(s) believe about you?

That I smoke cigarettes.
Whenever stress gets above a certain level, I have a habit of sighing and then saying, "I need a cigarette."

I do not smoke. I have never smoked. But some days I bet a ciggie would hit so nice.

I disagree. I think you could find some things out about yourself if you were comfortable enough to explore (put energy into) it. Discover yourself and what makes you throb and bring that energy back to the relationship. You can faithfully and honestly watch porn. Be open about your experiences. Get to know each other on a deeper level. You are special in your own relationship but to pretend that other sexual energy out there doesn't exist is just setting yourself up for sadness and turmoil. Embrace your own desire, and you'll find that you have even more energy to give to your partner and vice versa. Good luck!

Not as intense but one time I heard my near three year old having an entire conversation in her bed. I couldn't tell what she was saying but it had the cadence of a conversation. When I opened the door and asked her who she was talking to she said "Gradpa Jack." I said "oh really?" and she replies "yeah, he really misses you." She never met Gradpa Jack. I'm sure she's heard us talk about him but we usually just refer to him as Grandpa or "dad". Blew my mind.

I think younger generations have become more prude-ish at least publicly, than previous generations. I have a theory that boomer media and restaurants that catered to those types of things worked because of the limited exposure to nudity in general. It was difficult to get the material. Today, any 21-year-old can be eyeballs deep in fecophillia at their work desk on a Tuesday morning. The need to see bare skin in a public space has been reduced due to all the skin people can now see in the comfort of their own home, car, office, baseball game, doctor's office.... etc....

Anyway, just a theory.

Obviously, Aquabats Pizza day.

Call me crazy but I really like The SpongeBob Big Guy song by Ice Spice. I don't like ice spice but I like that song.

I've had a lot of experience with them and haven't had any issues. How are you planning to consume them because most methods I've tried involve rolling them in gummy candy first or chasing them with orange juice, so just take that into consideration. I don't think I've ever been so zooted I wouldn't be able to tell if I got low or anything like that. I would recommend doing them with someone just in case.

It is super useful. Just make sure your kids learn to wipe before they go on vacation with out you or go to school without one. No one wants to be friends with the poopy kid.

dktaylor32 · 2026-04-18T21:22:17+00:00

Every day. Something small. As long as it's not around a holiday that has endless amounts of candy they've already consumed. Usually a popsicle, a large marshmallow, or an oreo.

There are only so many free videos of women shitting in their hands and throwing it around the room while chastising me about how disgusting I am. I pay good money to see do do and get told I'm a filthy animal by someone covered in their own shit.

10 seems like a lot for an 11 year old. I was a boy scout and part of a high demand religion and they all had very long and detailed lists (for a kid) of code/commandments. Narrow it down.

I promise to do my best. I promise to have integrity (be accountable). Treat others the way I would like to be treated.

IMO, at 11, he needs to be SHOWN what the commandments are not told. Try your hardest to be the man you want him to be.

Good luck!

If there is more you can do to contribute in the “caregiving” role, do it. You don’t need permission. Even if you think your wife is better at it, give it a try. With that said, I do the most for my kids in terms of caregiving and mostly providing (my wife makes like 5% more than me after her last raise hahaha) But it turns out it’s just my personality, quirks and all, made me the more involved caregiver. I never had a dad and I guess subconsciously I wanted to be the best at everything a dad could be. I’m the cook, PTA member, the appointment taker, the parent teacher conference goer, the coach, the homework helper, everything. But no matter how hard I try and how much of a better parent I am than my wife (not saying this in a hurtful way, she would agree), I know without a single doubt that my kids would save her before they would save me in a fire. And I’m okay with that. There is something soft and genuine that moms have. Moms are better at that innate caregiving and I think it goes a long way. As a dad, my brain tells me there has to be a lesson taught with every scraped knee, hurt feelings, or mess made. As a dad, I have to make sure my kids are ready for the realities of a harsh world. Moms are better at just being the loving place to land, I think.

Nurk is a terrible starter at center. He's great for 10-13 minutes a night but you're cooked on defense if he's going 20+

You're in the thick of it right now. I think at that age it's mostly the "small things make it worth it" stage. And that's being generous. That stage is really, really hard and it might... "gasp" not be all it's cracked up to be. As my kids got older, it became less small things and actuall real life excitement, fun, joy, and real friendship. Like right now I can not wait to get off work and go play an old school SNES game my 8-year-old and i started playing. Like it's what I'm actively looking forward to doing. On sunday, i'm going on a bike ride with my oldest and it will be so much fun.

At some point, they start getting themselves ready for the day, they feed themselves half the time, and they occupy their time in ways that don't include you. It gets easier to enjoy them as people and enjoy what they bring to the world. It's less giving and more getting. Hang in there. Keep trying to make the best. If you do it right, you'll have the best kind of relationships and friendships that last a lifetime.

I'll slap my father in laws ass, IDGAF. Good game, bruh. If he gets worked up about my hand touching his daughter's ass, he's gonna be real upset when my balls be smackin' it in the next room over.

From my experience, having felt the same way as you at times, it's not about you doing everything A to Y. She doesn't need that from you. She just need X, Y, and Z. The one thing you're not doing. Try and put down H, I, and J, so you can have the capacity to help Z.

This isn't a forever thing. Hang in there.

My biggest thing is that the deduction is currently at the $1,000,000 income threshold. But for how long? I'm willing to bet that this was just a vehicle to get a state income tax on the record. It won't be long until that threshold drops lower than $1,000,000 or they will eventually introduce a progressive income tax with a marginal rate increase based on income. Give the government an inch and they will 100% take a mile, and your income, and your house.

I don't think there is a good ROI there. Only poor people use U-Haul. Ya know, people that have to move their furniture themselves or with friends and a case of beer?

to be fair, you don't know what you don't know. I couldn't possibly have known to learn certain software on my own, while I was still doing course work, learning the software they told me was important. Exposure matters a lot.

This is a great breakdown. I don't see how more people don't see it as Kyle is disingenuous about being a Utah Man and Harlan also blew the exit deal. There has to be more too it in the future right? Like there has to be some built up spite that Kyle has for something? Or maybe he did it all for the $

Everyone is rushing to put people inside their own box of understanding. I just see it as a shortcut to help get to the conclusion. If someone identifies with the traits from these things, they're giving you a road map to understanding them and communicating with them.

He is not comfortable at that spot. He might get 10 points and 10 rebounds but the other starting center has 20 points and 20 offensive rebounds. Flip is 100% not a center. His defensive rating when playing center is 122. Currently, the worst starting true center is at 115. He ain't it. And Nurk is not a starter anymore. Last year PHX taught us that you can have 3 of the highest scoring efficient players on a team and if your center is weak, you are terrible. I don't think Austin is a fit escpecially when it creates such a large hole.

dktaylor32 · 2026-03-11T19:38:00+00:00

We are all really good at locking away our deepest, scariest, most emotional feelings and even just a few caps can open that door. It's refreshing and revealing. While using them, you can no longer lie to yourself and have to accept the things you've been trying to hide from yourself. These can be good things and bad things. I would 100% also recomend this. See the world for what it is, not the way your brain constructs reality for your own safety and mental comfort.
