Ladies and Gentleman, this is the perfect example of what we all need to avoid becoming. A frigid shrew. Who the hell pissed in your Cheerios this morning? And wtf are YOU talking about? What chip on a shoulder? You're an embarrassment. |
Romantic trip without kids

I don't do anything special. For both Mother's and Father's Days, our kids make us cards and we encourage them to do something extra nice/helpful for the special parent around the house. And we do give ourselves the option to do whatever we feel like.
Being a man, he will wink at me and hint that he'd like a BJ for this special occasion, as he does whether it's Arbor Day, Groundhog Day, Flag Day, Shrove Tuesday, or Chinese New Year. |
| We'll go somewhere for lunch that has "good beer" on tap... and probably grill steaks for dinner. We might buy him some pro-v1s or a gadget... |
| Stupid question. Newlyweds dh has a child from his previous marriage. We have no children. Am I supposed to do something for him? |
I posted a happy plan for Fathers Day - and we had sex yesterday - but still, wtf? Are you a woman? What kind of gross bitch calls other women shrewish? |
| I'm planning on making a nice breakfast at home and then ensuring that DH and D.C. spend a special day together, just the two of them, while I relax and hopefully hang out with whichever other mom friends can shake free of their families for a few hours. Then maybe we'll go out to eat at a place of DH's choosing. (In other words, no cooking or clean up for me. Win-win!) |
NP and a DH btw - whether you're the first PP or not, you are missing the point about what most DHs want |
How is it a stupid question? If you feel it doesn't apply to your situation, that doesn't make it a stupid question. |
| I am going to make my man an omelet (Every time we have omelets at my parents' house he makes comment about how I never make them at home). |
| Go out to eat, he picks the restaurant. |
| He'll get cards from everyone and a nice gift from me. That is how we usually do the parent days. |
That would be DH's first choice, too.

NP. God people on this site are rude. She wasn't saying the OP was a stupid question because it doesn't apply to her, she was ASKING a "stupid question." PP, I think it would be sweet to do something for him, but it depends on the situation/ages of his kids/what his XDW does? You could ask what he's done in the past. |
Mom here who does play video games ( although not all day) Her DH probably won't spend the whole day but, rather will enjoy the freedom of not being nagged about spending time with the kids the way that they want to spend it. Relax a little and let the Dads ( and some moms) play video games with their kids. Unless it is every day, all day than it is not a problem to spend a few hours enjoying playing games with your kids. I think sometimes you need to back off and not treat the DH as a kid themselves. |
