My dad loves tech gifts. He is by no means a techy guy, but when he receives a tech gift, I can just see his face light up. Last year, I got him a robot vacuum and he was in complete awe. He loves the “magic” of technology if that makes sense.

This year, I want to get him another tech gift for father’s day. This doesn’t need to be practical, but better if it is. Also if it is a fun gift, then it is okay as well. If it is both fun and practical, well that’s just perfect. 

What are you guys eyeing for Father's Day this year? Are there any tech gadgets that are perfect for dads? Please share.

I’m probably going to get destroyed saying this but I feel like I just have to get it off my chest. 

Before we had our second child, my partner and I’s lives were fantastic. We had our first kid, got into a routine, had savings (and building more), and a real marriage that felt like a proper partnership.

We were fairly content, but we played with the idea of having a second child, especially since my parents and our friends were all saying we needed to give him a sibling/you don’t want them to be an only child. It was 50% our decision and probably 50% peer pressure, but we did, we had a second child.

Now both kids are in elementary and it’s just so much chaos. Even when they play, they are constantly fighting over the pieces and sometimes even throwing them at each other. They do not get along and it's been so stressful for us.

I love both of my kids to the end of the world, but it feels like I’m a worse parent to both of them now because I’m always stretched so thin. Not to mention that my marriage is becoming more like a roommate situation… We’re always tired, somewhat broke, and always stressed.

I look back at photos of when we were just a family of three and everyone looks so much happier. What can I do to fix this???
