What are you planning for father day?

| I think my husband is expecting something from me to plan to do and eat on father day. My kid will draw a card or something. We may eat out and do something in DMV area. Any suggestions? I am thinking of bowling, but I am not sure if it is too late to book. Any good deals or ideas? We are in Montgomery county. |

I asked this on the Relationships thread and got only snarky comments. We are doing things my husband enjoys — a family tennis match in the morning, brunch, a movie, and a “snack dinner”. I got my husband a bottle of alcohol. The kids made him something at school.
It’s kind of annoying that moms are now expected to also plan Father’s Day activities but whatever — I’ve decided just to view it as an opportunity to have a fun day together as a family and let my husband know I appreciate him. And it took me about 10 mins to “plan.” |

| I am sure if the same is said about mother's day or whatever, we would have some mouth frothing reactions about all the sacrifices that moms make and how underappreciated they are. |

| We are grilling steaks at home. Hopefully there is golf or baseball on TV. That's about it. |

| Nothing. I asked him and he didn't respond so no plans. I should go out with my dad instead of DH |

DH is the good cook in our family, so there's no way I can make his favorite meals. If it doesn't rain one of our kids will be playing in a tournament and if it does rain there won't be anything fun to do outside.
The only thing I can think of is baking a dessert he likes. He does a ton around the house, so me planning something for him is about the same added burden as him planning something for me. |

US Open is this weekend, as it traditionally is. |

| We already got a gift and card, we have reservations at a restaurant on the beach and then we're going to an antique arcade, then mini golf. Dinner will be two other families coming over and grilling. |

| I don’t make a big deal about what happens on Mother’s Day so this relieves the pressure on Father’s Day. We’re also just not the type to get upset about this stuff. We’ll actually be on vacation already so I’m not worried at all. I bought a card. That’s it and we’ll figure the rest that day. |

Good news—golf will be on! I live in Pittsburgh and the US Open is here starting today at Oakmont Country Club. My DH is attending on Friday. |

| I am having both sets of grandparents over for a very nice meal. Hosting his depressing parents is my gift to him. He also gets BJ |

This is my first Father's Day without my dad. We have not buried him yet since he only died recently. My mom is not herself. They were married for 64 years. I don't know how to celebrate.
I think back to all the wonderful family get togethers and that gives me thanks. |

Ok. We could do without the the TMI. And that is just a regular thing in a healthy marriage. It's not the hook you think it is. Just gross to admit. |
