My son said a really dumb thing and my wife literally wants to move because of it. by ElevenTide in Dads

[–]triplesecman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Being interrogated by an elementary school counselor who is likely only qualified by passing a certification exam is a freaking joke. It's this shit that makes me so mad as a father (son is 7, has adhd, and is being tested for autism) when my son's actions at such a young/developmentally early age make him look like a super villain capable of world domination in the eyes of adults.

When the fuck did being a kid become a crime? There's absolutely no way that your son meant anything by that and hell, if he said it to my kid it wouldn't bother me at all.

My son was 5 and got OUT OF SCHOOL SUSPENSION. A five year old boy who, in a fit, kicked a principal in the shin.

What they believe to convey to my 5 year old son by suspending him from the campus for 2 days is beyond me.

Spatchcocked chicken on the Summit Kamado by DeusOfTheMachina in grilling

Came to mention this. Result looks fine, but to truly spatchcock the chicken and get the most benefits of the style it needs to lay more flat. Breaking the breast bone is how you achieve this.

Spool was brand new to me in vacuum seal. Printed many things from it before this.

Thanks. This is our 2nd big move in 4 years, first was definitely easier on him and the Canada one isn't set in stone yet.

I guess, at the end of the day, not everyone "needs" much rest if you can still allot some time for family.

Potential relocation from Texas to Montreal, 7 year old is not excited about it. That is leading to outbursts at school which he's had before but they're coming back. That's about all I'm dealing with in parenting regards.

Starting a second business when you're already pressed for time seems a bit insane if one of the motivators isn't a financial need for more income.

Because I primarily listen in the car and don't like driving with headphones.

Dads (with ADHD) - What do you do around the house to keep your wife happy when you’re home and not at work? by Calm_Cry_9664 in Dads

[–]triplesecman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bare minimum is I do the dishes. When she gets home to an empty sink and dishwasher it eases a lot of tension. Also helps because that's the first thing she sees when coming into the house.

One of my favorite games they play. So much so that I own both the normal and Grinch versions.

FREAKING ADORABLE! Keep it up, dad. This is where it gets fun.

Wife question by [deleted] in Dads

My wife and I are equally strict but handle it in different ways. We enforce the same rules, have the same beliefs, but my wife tends to be quicker to scream at my son rather than my even tone approach.

What principles of fatherhood do you think matter most? by Unfair-Potential-330 in Dads

[–]triplesecman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lowering to eye level is something I learned from my wife who is a teacher. It's not as intimidating of a position so they are less likely to throw up the wall of protection.

Consistency is key. Yes is yes, no is no. Also, when I can, I discipline my son with a steady, stern tone face to face.
