[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get why you're disappointed.  In my family, Father's Day and Mother's Day are always family gatherings.  There was one year, though, that I just wanted to go to the movies by myself and come home to an empty house.  So I sent dh and the kids to go celebrate per usual with MIL and SIL. And I took myself to a matinee, ate buttery popcorn and drank soda, and then came home and watched a movie.  MIL and SIL were kind of baffled because it was so different than what we normally do, and I know DH was disappointed, but that one year, it's just what I wanted. And it was glorious.

You said your husband is moody and you suspect bipolar?  Knowing this and knowing that your husband said he just wanted to spend the day puttering around the house, I'm not sure why you thought it a good idea to try to force a lunch at the club.  That is the complete opposite of what he told you he wanted.  If anything, I might have told my son to stop by early afternoon, and I'll make lunch. That way, DH could putter around the garage as requested, DS could go out to the garage with the grandbaby, wish his dad a happy Father's Day, and then come inside and have a nice lunch with you and his wife.  And then whenever dh wanted to have lunch, it's prepared and waiting.

I get you wanting a nice family lunch, but I also get dh's side of just wanting to be left alone.
