dads

Family is taking a vacation to the DC/Baltimore area the week of the 4th of July. My sister in law is currently stationed at the White House and we are trying to arrange a tour (or tours) while we are there. The options are the East Wing, West Wing, or both (either same day or separate days). We...

My daughter has been attending a local daycare for the last few years, we've had some issues with them, but they've been generally one-off kind of things. They're affordable, they do language immersion in my wife's native language, they give the kids three meals cooked in house every day, as...

So today was conception day. I'm scared, nervous, and excited. Just wanted to let it be known. Any tips would be wonderful. My wife has already had a child who is 6 now, 3 when I became his dad so she knows what she is getting into but I'm still in the dark. Any advice for a poor fool?

Hey dudes. Thanks for the good vibes over the last 9 months - this subreddit has been a treasure trove for me. Graduated yesterday and wife and baby girl are doing well, even after my wife nearly fainted moving from L&D to postpartum. Passing on the good vibes!

Future dads are often stressed. And once the happy event has come, parenting young children is often exhausting and stressful. I experienced it! To cope with stress, music and meditation can be helpful. So I created "Pure ambient", a tasty mix of beatless ambient electronic music that helps me...

My son has been an absolute demon the last few months. I know people like to make jokes and memes about toddlers being a terror but this is genuinely awful. It’s really affecting us. It seems like normal toddlers have tantrums in relatively short bursts but his go on for ages, like an hour plus...

My 9 year old declared that she loves Taylor Swift. It's going to be a long few weeks when she asks for Taylor swift anytime we go out in the car or listen to music in the house I got Flashbacks to when my Oldest daughter Loved One Direction l

Choosing a baby monitor isn’t easy. There are so many features that sound useful. I'll run through what I found out about them here. What is a Baby Monitor? A baby monitor is a gadget that allows you to keep an eye on your baby when they’re sleeping (or supposed to be sleeping). The intention...

EDIT: Someone commented on here that /r/daddit_new was created, but it got downvoted. I'm assuming it was mods in support of the protest from that mod sub but figured I'd add it to the top of this post. Has some posts already. I really missed that community over the last couple days. So many...

I’m in a privileged spot where I’ve accumulated a lot of vacation and have a great paternity leave policy through work. Our daughter is due in May, and my wife will be on leave until October. I was planning to use 3 weeks vacation time after birth. Then go back to work full time until my...

Thought I would update with a slightly different perspective than what I seem to see here and on r/daddit. Let me preface by saying that I love my son and would do anything for him, there is no question of that. I am fortunate enough to have had almost the entire 6 weeks off through parental...

So wife and I had sex yesterday. She is 9 weeks along. This evening she had pinkish to light red discharge. She has been very upset. I’m anxious. Planning on calling the OB in the morning. Any experience or information relevant to this subject? Edit1: we have an appt with the OB later...

I am in a very lucky position where I have an employer that offers 6 weeks of paid leave and is flexible with my return date. This leave can be used throughout the first year after birth. I am thinking about taking 8 weeks of total leave as soon as the baby is born. A nice round 2 months. Then...

Has anyone in California received this for their kids? I heard they were sending out cards this month, but I don’t know anyone that’s received them. Also, I read that this round will only be for kids that didn’t attend school in person or that missed 5+ days of school in a month due to Covid...

After watching this video, I was talking to my dad and he was able to answer all of the questions that were asked in this video, which I was pretty sure he would. But can I ask, how do you think this happens with other dads? I imagine that most of the dads in a subreddit dedicated to dad-ing...

Hi all I’m looking for some advice and anecdotal experiences on this one. My new girlfriend and I fell pregnant after 4 months of being together. I’m 29 she’s 27. The relationship was incredible, we’ve both never felt this way about anyone before and we spent all the time possible together...

And to preface the story it was a good kind. We were watching Encanto: me, my wife and my 5 year old when mid movie our 8 month old wakes up so my wife goes and gets him and decides to just hold him. He’s teething so he’s been a little fussy lately even after a good nap. A few min later I...

It great because there is no voice acting required, puts the kid to sleep way quicker... And now he can name and recite stats planets when prompted with a number from 1-8. :D

Hi! I have been married since 2018 and have a wife who will soon turn 37. We have always talked and thought that children would come in the future, but about 2 years ago my wife withdrew from this and says that she no longer wishes to have children and she sees more benefits in life as it is. No...

Alright guys, I'm not looking for medical advice here, just really hoping to look a little bit outside the box, because I must have read every website on pregnancy pains and still haven't found a way to make it easier for my wife. 2 weeks ago, we found out that wife is pregnant with our first...
