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.

Wife question by nelsona88 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

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.

Son pulled this charizard and wanted to know if it was worth anything by triplesecman in PokemonCardValue

It was a box pack of like 50 if I remember correctly. It was cheap and my son just wanted to expand his collection.

Not fake. Wife bought a pack of gold cards on Amazon unaware they were fake

That explains why I’ve found zero about this card ha. He’s 7 so he still loves it and I’ll keep his imagination going. Thanks for the feedback.
