I am probably just trying to justify doing absolutely zero for H's first Father's Day. I'll probably get him some beers this year though. Also, last Father's Day you'd just had a baby. So. You're allowed. I honestly could not fathom going to the store to buy anything. Although I did have a lot of time on my hands during MOTN feedings for online shopping but you know, I had to spend that time to watch shows on my iPad. Or I could have planned ahead I guess. But why try harder when I can just say I don’t believe in gifts for Father’s Day? 😏

I want to get H a decent Father's Day gift in a passive aggressive way of telling him he screwed up by doing nothing for Mother's Day My sister did this and my BIL did not get the message, FWIW.

I'm assuming Chris Pratt exaggerated that story. That's as many cares as I can give.

UO: i wish I could have lunch at the elementary school most days lunch at an elementary school sounds like fresh hell. why do you want that? The food is really good. I’m tired of cooking lunch. It seems like a waste for me and a picky 5 year old. I didn’t think about eating with the kids though. Maybe they would let me take it to go?

piratecatPretty sure youngest knows the difference between the numbers, since his brother was dancing around like a kid with his $100 Bill. But youngest is always so zen about shit you'd never know if it really bothered him or not. Brother is more well off this year than he was before. The turd has paid off his business debt and his house this year too. he owns an ice cream shop in sedona and even thru the economic downturn for years , people would buy ice cream when the otger restaurants and businesses were hurting I'm thinking I'll just blame it on his wife cause she sent the card and $ not him this time. Lol

Well it was the largest amount my oldest got from someone, $100, for graduation. With a note that it would maybe pay for one college book. It was nice as well as accurate. I gave same to his son heading off to college with the same idea. So in comparison the $40 to youngest son was noticeably different. I said it was petty. I could see your POV especially because I am sensitive to second kids being treated differently, as a second child myself. At the same time, I am unfortunately also guilty of similar offenses, because I am not very good at thinking/planning ahead - e.g., I made baby blankets for my oldest two nephews (one on each side) but it was a lot of effort to keep up with subsequent nieces/nephews, especially because there were so many being born close together. People's financial situations change all the time, maybe there were a lot more gift-giving occasions at the same time and they couldn't swing that much all at once. I would feel bad if your youngest knew how much the oldest had received but I assume that is not the case...?So much this... for example if someone has a job relying on sales / commission. Shit can change month to month. But even if someone income doesn’t fluctuate their bills could change.. you never know.

I wasn’t listening when he told me what it was. But I did have a great day. ETA: last year he did literally nothing, so guess what? We didn’t do anything for Father’s Day.

Is RSVPing to an event unpopular now? Brought to you by the mom that sent out 15 invitations to a party and got zero replies. I am crazy about this. I will text you if you have not RSVP'd If it is an important person, I will text. If you don't RSVP and I don't really care if you are coming, I will not text and assume you aren't coming.

I only care because so far all of DD's birthday parties have been at party venues, where you pay per kid and have to give a headcount in advance. At a house party I would care much less.

What's worse than not RSVPing to me is when you get a million maybes. How the fuck am i supposed to plan food when half the people may or may not show up? At least when someone doesn't RSVP I assume they aren't coming and I'm usually right.

I like throwing birthday parties at my house. We have a serious lack of venues around here, though.

I have no idea what I give to people for graduations/christenings/etc. Usually we buy a card at CVS on the way to the party and I throw out a random number while I’m writing a check in the car.
I would definitely forget and give brothers two different things.

Instead of cancelling Roseanne, I wish they would have just fired her and written her out of the show. Too many great actors hurt by her stupidity. And while we're at it, get ride of Joy Behar too No snark, but why does everyone dislike Joy Behar so much?
Like, did she say racist shit too and I missed it? I mean she's not my cup of tea (her delivery) but unless she's saying hateful racist garbage who the fuck cares? KOKO
I responded to someone on FB who said this same things about The View, so I asked him to post clips where they are saying racist things. His response was OMG HATE SPEECH!!11!! and a link to a YouTube video of Tomi Lahren or however you spell her name spewing vitriol on Fox News about Joy criticizing Pence's statement that he talks to God or something.
I was like...that's it?? That's your receipts??

Nobody does anything when I put RSVP in the invite. If I put please let me know if you can make it I get slightly better results. I always wanted to put let us know if you can come to the birthday party or not, cause if nobody says yes we are cancelling the party.

A higher up at the college just referred to attending graduation as "raping his time." Yikes. I'm all for saying "voluntold" but this is, no bueno.

Every year there’s a few people who get upset that their H didn’t acknowledge them for Mother’s Day because they’re not their mother, or some shit.
I say absolutely not. You have one year to make that mistake and then never again. And if you’re not going to acknowledge them, make sure the children in your house acknowledge them. And it goes both ways, for men and women. Everyone deserves to be acknowledged. I get people think it’s a made up holiday but every year I see people here hurt watching other people get celebrated.
It doesn’t have to be a gift or extravagant. It could be a card, a breakfast in bed, a “you sleep in today, I got them”, a “you pick where we get takeout from tonight”.

I don't feel bad for anyone affiliated with Roseanne the show. If you hook your cart to a horse like her, you are rolling the dice.

I got to choose what we had for dinner on Mother's Day, and it was totally the highlight of my day.

I saw this too.
Fucking idiots will believe anything, the photo is obviously fake and heavily photoshopped.
I have seen it posted too. Did you see Roseanne re-tweeted the fake pic and Whoopi was pissed and went off.

we are pretty whatever about gift giving in my house. I LOVE to find the right gift to give to someone, BUT, my husband usually wants specific car or motorcycle or tool things that I really can't purchase as a surprise. Honestly, usually, he'll be like, I used X amount to buy myself this for father's day. Or i'll be like, "i just spent X at wherever, so don't worry about a birthday gift."
This year, I told him I wanted a weekend away at our beach house for mother's day, sans family. And this year, for father's day, he wants a family trip to the beach so.
We have no real method.
