Welcome to the Weekend. A bit shorter today as my 3-year-old has been waking up at 5 am after switching to his ‘big boy’ bed.

THE DIGEST

Last Week’s Poll Results:

What’s Your Post-Kid-Bedtime Vibe?

The results are in—and it’s clear most of us are keeping it cozy:

• Netflix & chill (literally) — 47.6%

• Couple of drinks & chill — 14.5%

• Scroll in silence — 13.3%

• Straight to bed — 8.4%

• Other — 7.8%

• Catch up on work — 4.2%

• Workout or walk — 4.2%

Safe to say: once the house quiets down, most dads hit cruise control.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT 

We launched the community extension of the newsletter this week. It’s called Built for More — a space to connect with like-minded dads, swap parenting wins (and fails), trade gear recs, tackle weekly challenges, and just have a crew that gets it.
