[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sucks OP. Happy Mother's Day from me. Are you going to plan to not plan anything on Father's Day?[/quote]

OP here.  [b]No I am going to use Father's Day to model what should be done on a holiday. I'm going to go all out, card, homemade crafts, nice brunch, maybe a gift.  I don't think that two wrongs make a right.[/b][/quote]

Then expect it to happen again and again. You're choosing to be a martyr.

It's a good idea to have the kids make him a Father's day card because you're teaching them how to appreciate their parent. However, going all out to celebrate him on your behalf is ridiculous. Be nice, maybe get takeout for dinner if it's easier for you, but going all out and getting him a gift is a bad approach.

You also need to take this laid back approach when his birthday or other important milestones come around for him. He will never understand the importance of putting in effort for YOU if you don't stop being a doormat.

Next mother's day when you're back here with the same complaint, don't say you weren't warned...[/quote]
