[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.  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.[/quote]

I think that's mature and thoughtful of you. But I wouldn't blame you if you reciprocated. I hope you at least treat yourself to something nice. You deserve it.[/quote]

[b]But, is that really the message and lesson you want for your children? [/b] Like it or not, whatever OP teaches her children is how they will act as adults.  I think OP has the right attitude.  [/quote]

At 3 and 6 the kids won't be picking up much from these interactions - it sounds like OP and her husband had a conversation in private and it was just another day for the kids. BUT if they were old enough to understand, that is exactly the message I want to send my children! I want them to stand up for themselves. I want them to focus their time on people who value them.

And most of all, I do not want them to be martyrs or doormats.
