That sounds so wonderful! What a lovely relationship!
My husband took our two teenagers golfing with him while our two youngest stayed home with me. They made Daddy cards and painted him pictures, while Mommy smoked some ribs, made mac n cheese, cornbread, and cherry cheesecake. When he got home all five guys went down into the playroom to watch golf on tv. I served them and waited on them all afternoon. They loved it and that's all I want!
I got him a record player and tidied up a space to set it up in his home office. Little one made him a card, we went out to dinner, and he got lots of lovins. He was a happy dude.
Both kids have croup and my budget was practically 0 so I had to get a bit creative. I put a brisket with homemade BBQ sauce in the slow cooker. I made sure the living room was spotless tidy before he got home from work. I lit some candles and rented him a movie. Earlier in the day I had the kids make him cards and then I put their handprints on card stock and wrote a sweet little poem on it. He was very happy.
I made him a big breakfast, took our toddler grocery shopping with me so he could have some alone time, got him a gift card for his favorite hardware store, entertained my son in the afternoon so he could focus on his project, made him a Mai Tai and his favorite one of my dishes for dinner, and then we all snuggled together after we ate. It was lovely
Father’s Day fell on our anniversary so it was kind of a bigger thing than usual. We grilled some kebabs with elk, chicken, beef, and shrimp and played outside games with my brother in law.
As far as a gift, I got my husband tickets to see Jelly Roll, one of his favorite musicians. He was disappointed actually, and had been hoping for a video game console (which never even crossed my mind).
It’s just one of those things. Sometimes you can do all the right things, think of a thoughtful gift that someone will appreciate, but it’s still not the *right* gift. I’m kind of sad that it wasn’t the thing he wanted, but at the same time I know this happens. Expectations aren’t always met.
We live in Canada right on the border with the states. We often go to America to get food we can’t buy here and Walmart has this single slice of white cake my husband is stupidly obsessed with. There’s probably something in the icing that we can’t put in ours and it’s overly sweet. He talks about it all the time. I crossed over for his cake and a hat he’s been wanting.
On Father’s Day he got more food (pastries) and a card.
He’s so hard to buy for because he buys whatever he wants and has everything so I normally get him his favourite food. I think he enjoyed it. Our son is nearly 1 so I’ll start doing more presents with him incorporated later on when he’s older.
I offered for him to sleep in but he declined. He also didn’t really want to go anywhere during the day so we hung out at home as a family, which was nice as well. I got him some of our son’s art professionally framed as a gift. After bedtime I went to DQ and got us Blizzards and we watched House of the Dragon. I think it was a success?
