What are some daddy-baby (18 mo) activities you do on Saturday mornings? After travel and working during the week, looking to bond and take him off my wife’s hands for a few hours.

Do a weekly Saturday morning donut “date” with my girls, usually followed by the park

Grocery shopping. Race the cart around; let the kid walk a little, etc. 2 birds 1 stone.

At that age just let the little fucker run. Going to a park / playground and then throwing them up in the air always made me a fun Daddy.

like

Zoo. Age group appropriate gymnastics (socialization more than anything). Park. See if your local library has any age appropriate programming. Go out and get coffee (for you, not the baby) and breakfast. Just be outdoors on walks, if there’s anywhere cool. Find another dad with a similar aged kid and have a play date.

like

Children’s museum or equivalent, if there is one near you.

Also a yearly membership allows entry to a whole bunch of other similar museums too, via reciprocal entry programs. Each year I get a new annual membership to a different kind of place... children’s museums, then science museums, then art museums, then aquariums, etc. but I’ve done children’s museums the most.

D1 has the right idea! Me and my daughter do “Pancake Saturday” every week. We go to a cafe and I get to watch her face turn purple from the blueberry pancakes. It’s the best part of my week.

like

Watch educational TV

Park, splash pad or Museum.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Clever ways to get cheaper housing? What's your hack to beat the system?

Married, 2 kids under 3 yrs. Apartment is too small, but we can't afford bigger. Do we rent a 2-story house and split it with another family? Do we stay in our small apartment and get creative with bunk beds and storage solutions?

How can a family, with kids, and one crappy income ($82,000) get a comfortable living situation here?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?
