*****siggie warning*******
Mine did a lot of housework which is unusual. He did yard work, a load of laundry (start to finish!!!) and did the dishes.
We went to church and out to lunch and then I slept all afternoon.

We had a long talk about it and, at least for now, we've decided to stop celebrating mother's/father's day. It's just been such a shitty bag of sadness for so long that neither of us can really get past it. Plus we aren't fans of gender specific celebrations, so if we change our minds and do anything in the future, it'll likely be a combined makeshift parents day.

I hated that anyone wished us a first happy father's day or mother's day, really last year was our first I guess people don't count it when your child is not alive.
I also cant find this board on tapatalk, or perhaps I'm so tired....

My own dad asked me several times while I was pregnant and again this past Mother's Day if I was "ready to be a mom again" - as if I just lost the title when my son passed away a year and a half ago. Despite me trying to gently tell him why that question was fucked up the first few times, after numerous times I either got up and walked away or MH talked me down from yelling at/smacking him.
