Re: Father's Day

    I have no idea. H got me a really nice Mother's Day gift, so I feel like I should do the same for him for Father's Day, but he asked me not to spend that much money on him. Now I don't know if he was serious, like "No, really, don't spend more money, we spent enough.", or "I want something really awesome too, but I don't want you to feel like you have to." Ugh.

    If I opt for the expensive gift option, I will probably get him some parts for his toy Jeep. If I go for something middle of the road, I'll go for a nice tool box. For something cheap, I'll get his road bike fixed so we can go riding.

    No matter the gift, I'm going to take him to the zoo in Louisville because he loves zoos and really wants to take DD there.

    I already got it all figured out and actually gave him his big gift yesterday. He really wanted to open it and I let him :P But I have something else for him for the day of.

    So I got him an accoustic guitar. He had mentioned it a long time ago how he'd like to have one. He has 2 electric ones but an acoustic one would be so cool, as he said, especially when we have kids... So I got him one and he was so surprised that he didn't even say thank you or gave me a hug, he was just looking at the thing ahahaha

    I also got him 3 cards, one from DD, one from the dog and the cat and then one from me.

    I also got him (hasn't arrived yet) a custom ingraved key chain guitar pick that says Zoe's Daddy Rocks.

    And then I'm either getting us tix for the zoo or we will go on a little hike and a picnic

    Not too bad considering he had NOTHING planned for mother's day, had ordered my gift online the day before, so it arrived a week later, had no reservations or anything else in the house planned, got me Target flowers with the price tag still on them sometime in the afternoon and blamed it all on being sick lol

    DH has been saying that he needs a picture of DS for his desk at work.  So I snuck out to Walmart and purchased a double picture frame and got a picture printed of him and DS.  I put the picture in one slot, and in the other is an index card with DS's footprints in the shape of a heart.  Around it are the words "I <3 my daddy".  My hope is to give him a new picture every year (as well as his gift) so he can have an updated picture of DS every father's day.

    I'm debating if I want to get my DH anything, aside from DD picking him flowers. He didn't really get me anything, just grocery store carnations.

    I got barely anything for my first mother's day, so this is a really sensitive subject.  I didn't want anything per se, but I just wanted him to put forth a little effort.  A part of me wants to model what appropriate gift giving looks like, while the other wants me to make him feel as unappreciated as I did on mother's day.  I am still hurt.

    Can we see a picture of the feet in the heart? I've been trying to figure out a way to do something with the little guys feet prints!

    DH is a federal agent, so I had portraits taken of DS in his gear.  I plan on making him an album with the pictures.  I want to do something else too, but I haven't figuered out what.

    I got DH a compound miter saw...  It's the equivalent of diamonds for mothers day (which he did).  I've also gotten him a photo mug (our family tradition) and a photo collage of Owen and his sisters holding DAD

    I was going to get dh a cross bow with arrows because he's been wanting one for about two years but now I'm not sure. Dh rear ended someone today and smashed up the front end of MY brand new car. We have a $500 deductible so I have to look at our finances.

    We don't have a lot of money this year, so I'm getting a photo magnet of DS to put in his toolbox at work, a blu-ray disc he wanted, and making this from DS:

    THIS! I am secretly still hurt about it also. I totally expected him to at least do something special for my 1st Mother's Day & it did not have to be a gift.

    DH has been great to DD and to me so he is getting what he wants - a metal detector. He wants to take it to the beach and he would otherwise hate the beach. Hoping he'll like it and then like the beach!

    Same here. He said to me that day, Im not good at gifts but I'll take your whereever you want to go. It was lame, we just went to eat with my mom and her and I exchanged cards and gifts.

     

    He didnt event get me a card, flower, bkfast in bed, NOTHING! Oh, just a random rose off the street corner I happened to be in the car when that was purchased. so lame so hurt.

    I dont want himt o feel shitty so Im going to be the bigger person. I just knnow not to get my hopes up anymore. I just dont get it and am glad Im not the only one experiencing thsi.
