Does anyone have anything fun planned or some awesome gifts picked out? I bought my husband a book and found a few craft projects but I'm not sure if I will actually get to them haha
He asked for updated pics for his photo collage at work. And I got him a season of one the shows he likes but can't watch since we changed cable packages. We don't have anything planned yet but prolly will do something outdoorsy if its nice out or a family lunch at one of his favorite places if its not nice out.
I got DH a small espresso machine. He's been drinking it a lot lately and loved my brother's machine. Today he said he wants to get one and it going to start shopping around. I'm really hoping he doesn't get one before Father's Day! I'm also taking lo to have pictures taken for him. He'll love it. We're having our dads over for a bbq Saturday then on Sunday we'll do whatever DH wants.
zandeela, I'm not. This Mother's Day he got me a card from SD and T and a card from him. So that's what he will get. I'm tired of him always getting everything he wants and me going above and beyond when I've told him several things I want and he flat out won't get them because it's not "convenient". So I'm focusing more on me now, for once. I buy what T needs, then I'm putting myself second for the time being. I haven't bought clothes or anything in over 6 months, I wear the same dress clothes to work week after week. NOT ANYMORE! I'm finally thinking about myself for a while.
zandeela, you can be passive aggressive and go all out or you can talk about it with him. Maybe even just ask him what he would like to do....and see if Mother's Day comes up at all?!
zandeela, I always remind him before. I usually start subtly with, "What are you getting your mom for mother's day?" Then he remembers to ask me what I want to do. If he doesn't get the hint then I just tell him.

My husband doesn't make a huge deal out of Mother's Day (or any holiday, really), so I've started toning down what I do as well. At first I was kind of upset about it, but now it's nice because there's no pressure. He'll probably go play golf that day, and I'll take the kids to my parents' house.
Just want to AW for a second what I planned for Father's Day. I will be doing a scavenger hunt that will remind DH of all the good times he has had with DS so far. First clue will take him to the camera, which he uses to capture all our memories. With each clue there will be a picture of DS in that moment. Next is the bucket car seat we brought DS home in. Then DS's crib where he spent his first night home. Then the kitchen sink where we gave DS his first bath. Next is his high chair where he fed him for the first time. Last will be DS's future room (when we have a sibling). I have arranged for him to go golfing in the morning, then lunch with us and a BBQ with the neighbors for dinner. Each spot along the hunt will have a gift and tell him what he is doing that day.
I put a lot of work into it and I really hope he appreciates it and enjoys looking back at all the fun it was bringing home a new baby.
