• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Why are kids’ birthday parties awkward?

I mean, they can be alright if you’re with people you know and/or there’s booze involved, but when it’s people you don’t know, what the hell is an adult supposed to do?

I emulate a lot of things my dad did growing up.

Not going to children's birthday parties is one of them.

Ditto for showers.

Also, don't ask me to help you move because I'm not asking you.

"You're a grown ass man, act like one."
 
Probably feel awkward for a creepy reason.
just drop the kids off and come back and pick them up in a couple hours. Built in baby sitter.
btw I hope you ask your girls when they get back if mommy met a special friend at the beach.
