Just dawned on me now that I may no longer be a girl dad.
I keep hearing these stories about boys being a certain way, something around the theme of “active”, “a lot of energy”, “movement.
And I’ve thought to myself, in happenstance, what would I do, how, good v. bad. Rarely coming away with anything very conclusive.
Today, after being tugged in so many different directions, and thinking I just want to sit. Do nothing.
But then hear wife stories about “husbands just sit around”. It dawned on me, we have the entire thing backwards.
And now I know how I’ll be able to flip the relationship for my hopefully soon to be boy.
Just in the nick of time. 😥

PSA: The Mandalorian & Grogu is a lot more action intense than the show and includes quite a few “scarier” creatures. It’s probably best for kids over 10

The transition from loving a pet to loving a child is the transition from Game Boy to Game Boy Color

Oh wow. Now my app has even entered the Top 25 trending apps! Thank you all, this is madness.
But also great for dads. You can nominate a dad you know (with a cast as proof) for Farcaster Dad of the Year. Or you can vote for the 14 already nominated dads (please stop voting for me). Or both. And donate to the prize pool. All in one mini app:

One thing I like about my daughter’s daycare among many other things is the kids take their naps outside if it’s nice out. Example: it was 65 degrees and sunny with a slight breeze today.

The melodrama of your infant inconsolably screaming for hours only to rip some nasty gas and settle into blissful, content slumber is evergreen

wait wait wait 😆
@arj antupan made a “dad of the year” app and I’m not even on the list ??? 🫶
meanwhile lately we’ve been doing :
- arcade games
- pool days
- movie + popcorn nights
- trampoline parks
- beach weekends
- soccer
- fencing
- bike rides
I even started running again just to keep up with the kids’ energy 💪
for the past 5 years I’ve worked night shifts so I could take them to school in the morning myself and be there as much as possible. 🥴
honestly just trying to enjoy as much time with them as I can ❤️
appreciate link below 😅👇

Can the real dads please stand up?
Building something in the run-up to father's day. Because I believe that fathers should be positivelypresent in the lives of their kids. It's not just great for the kids, it's also good for the fathers, and will give mothers more room to chase their dreams and careers. We, parents, are in this together.
If it works, might also do something similar for mothers later.

All streaming services have autoplay, and I was never bothered by it...
until recently when I noticed our 'kids' profile just jumped to the next thing when it finished a show.
Basically our 2 year old could be watching Miffy and before you know it, it jumps to for example Shrek automatically.
For a 2 year old Shrek or any other movie/show for slightly larger kids is nightmare material...
As a parent and a senior UX designer this deeply bothers and disturbs me a lot.
