What are you doing/ what did you do for Father's day?

[AmyG]

Just wondering if there's anything interesting going on today for the Dad's and even the mom's who also get to or have to play dad

Waiting til son gets his school stuff done and heading over to put together changing table dresser, carve space in toddler room for baby stuff. Then dinner out. Which hopefully won't be a slow moving adventure.

Well, my dad is dead and my FIL is someone my husband spends as little time with as possible.

My husband decided he wanted to get a sweat on, so all we did a 5 mile hike with lots of elevation on the Long Island Sound today. Super clear day, we got a great view of Connecticut. Dinner tonight will be at the fancy sit down Chinese/ Japanese place in town.

Oh, and he got a new Webber grill and Garmin watch for running.

lucilleaustero, my dad and dh's dad are both dead.
not visiting san Diego to see his dad
but guess I could call my mom and have her hold the phone next to dad on her dresser.
DH has gotten chop sticks so far.

We went to two flea markets this morning, which is Hs idea of fun. Took a nap and now he and DS are on a short bike ride before dinner. He's grilling burgers and I'm making strawberry shortcakes.

I made monkey bread for breakfast and tried to let H sleep in but my children are too loud and weird so I ended up having to take them to the park for a bit. Then we took a little drive to a gem digging place, which was fun.

There’s still Father’s Day haircut and fancy pizza for dinner before my H has to go out of town for 3 nights.

We had yogurt and breakfast pizza for breakfast with iced coffee, H get ribs set up in the smoker, and I'm making pasta salad & corn on the cob, now he's floating in the pool with the kids while I wait for water to boil. I got him a new hammock a couple weeks ago, so that's really it.

We slept in. Kiddos got DH a cute card and a GC to get a new shirt or something at Rally House. Dropped DS1 and his girlfriend off as the MCWS so they didn’t have to find parking. Now we’re gonna go get Freddy’s and watch swim trials while we eat.

We did Father’s Day yesterday since I had to work today. We got Italian food after picking DS up from camp, and then fried chicken for dinner. I got him three polos and a dash cam as gifts, but we’re returning the dash cam because he doesn’t think it’s what he wants. I told him to send me links next time 😂

We just returned from a weekend baseball tournament in Old Orchard Beach. It was a great time. The moms put together a table of baseball snacks (sunflower seeds, crackerjacks etc…) and a big card for the dads. It was well received.

We had lunch with my dad and I sent texts to the other father figures in my life. DH has to work tonight, so I made a nice dinner for us before he left.

We had a bbq to celebrate Father’s Day, H’s birthday and my MILs birthday. I made an app that I think was recommended from someone here: Boursin cheese topped with sautéed onions and bacon. Everyone really liked it.

MIL annoyed me because she made a comment about H having to host a party/ grill on Fathers Day. She didn’t say anything like that when we hosted a party for Mothers Day. 🙄

klw I wouldn’t have been able to refrain from reminding her about Mother’s Day.

MH is OOT for work. We’ll do something this week for him.

My dad is here so we went golfing (DS golfed the entire 9 holes and did great!), I made spaghetti and meatballs before we left and I made strawberry shortcake for dessert.

We went to BILs and the kids had a great time in the sprinklers and with water balloons. DH worked yesterday so he was pretty tired but we had a bbq and I made a peach blackberry cobbler that was delicious! I also made a sourdough bread that I stuffed with fresh herbs and roasted garlic. It was so good!

Now we’re relaxing at home and DH is going to put in a movie to watch with SS and DS1. I put DS2 to bed and will enjoy a little quiet.

klw, oh, we have the same MIL. After my third csection, where I almost died, she told my H he should go home & sleep in our bed so he could sleep through the night, leaving me alone with the baby, because he said it has been a long, scary, emotional day (which, all valid in his part). He quickly hung up and didn’t talk to her for a few days.

My H did. Something like “it’s no big deal. KLW did it on Mother’s Day”. 😂

I chose the Dr. Suess Museum for Mother's Day so DH chose the Boston Museum of Science so we did that.

My dad and FIL are dead. Stepdad is still kicking. His kids messed up their side by side, so H took a look at it for them. It's an easy fix and was inevitable (spark plug wire was corroded). Then had lunch with them. H, DS, and stepdad took a nap. Then headed home and H went to visit his nephew in the hospital for some back issues.

[angelashly]

We just did nothing just like h wanted. He works outside and we are getting a week of 100 degree weather so he needed the day to get ready

Dd made him the cutest card ever and we got takeout for dinner
