To me in our house it seems like I put a lot more effort into Fathers Day then gets put into my mothers day. I don't think it happens on purpose and it really doesn't bother me that I have to spend mothers day in the car for the most part. And D always gets me something really nice. But this year I really don't feel like I have put any effort into it at all. I did get him a nice present and will fix him a yummy dinner but I am just not feeling it this year for some reason.
I think the best present I could have ever gotten him is for me to go to the gym every night. He has to pick up E and entertain her for a couple hours until I get home. Its so nice that after three years of picking her up and playing with her every night that he gets to do it for a change. I know he really enjoys spending the time with her too because they alwasy have a wacky story to tell me when I get home.
The only drawback is that instead of him feeding her dinner he lets her eat whatever she wants. Luckily I have been buying healthier food and she doesn't get to eat cookies every night for dinner.

Great for you going to the gym! Great that Doug will step up and be a dad while you are there. On the nights I work, I worry too if the kids had Lucky Charms or McD's for dinner......sigh. Why don't they get the whole healthy veggies type meal?
Awww that's nice that D & E get extra quality time together while you are working out! Good for you!
I still wish you could join in on the board again. Sigh...
