Today was supposed to be the first day my 5y/o took the bus to school - but it was over 30mins late! So I drove her myself.

5-10mins late sure, but 30mins? is that normal?

Do they purposely design ‘Family Sized’ cereal boxes to not fit inside cupboards???

Gotta stow them away with the rest of the kitchen outcasts like the jug of water and 10lbs bag of potatoes 😩

My kid brought home a multi-pack of glitter.

How soon can I put my house up for sale?

Tomorrow, I get to explain to my doctor that the reason I can't turn my head to the side is because my 5y/o kicked my ass playing HORSEY.

Anyone play real life Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Except instead of Hippos, You're slapping your vacuum to tilt up. And instead of marbles, you're trying to gobble up stray Cheerios? No?

The thing about cooking your own meals... is that you have to run out and get ingredients, then you need to actually cook those meals but then you gotta clean up after...

Takeout seems like such a better option for busy homes! Especially with groceries being so expensive now.

More Blacktron vehicles from my #LEGO classic space fleet. I haven’t seen these assembled in at least 30 years! #dadlife

I wish I was as resilient as the weeds growing in my yard.

Hi! I’m Rick, a software engineering manager living with my family in Oregon, living that #dadlife. As the (formerly known as?) birdsite is forcibly imploded by its owner, I’m trying my best to engage more here.

I’m into hobbyist #boardgames! In person especially but sometimes online. I’m down for most games but especially mid to heavy Euros.

I also dabble in some other nerdery like #videogames and listening to comedy podcasts.

Have a great day!

Doing yard work in 30c heat to flex my dominance over the other weaker dads in the neighborhood 💪

I don’t care if they are 60 and I’m 40. Dominance is dominance.

That $25 Pop-up book arrived and it’s magical!

UGH! Contractors!

Dude showed up over an hour late, then asked me if I had a piece of drywall lying around.

THE DRYWALL GUY ASKED ME IF I HAD A PIECE OF DRYWALL

Yesterday in a fit of tears, my 5y/o grumbled "You hurt my feelings! You forced me to take a shower! I didn't want to!"

I hurt her feelings because I didn't want her going to bed covered in filth from the playground.

Playgrounds should be built with desks and free wifi to allow parents to get some work done while supervising their kids.

Would be so much better than having to make small talk with other parents 🤮

Accidentally waterboarded myself with the water flosser this morning

#adulting #dadlife

My kid woke up and jumped into our bed

This has turned into a hostage situation

#parenting #dadlife

Stuck in bed
First one to wake up.
Don’t want to make any sudden movements that could wake up my wife and kid

#dadlife #parenting #adulting

Spent thousands of dollars on installing new pot lights in the house - and now that they are in, we’re not happy with the results.

Homeownership is such a kick in the nuts.

#adulting #dadlife #homeownership

Contractors have arrived and started drilling and cutting through drywall.

Which is great because I could use yet another distraction from working from home with my wife and kid 😎
