Mother's Day
Dad lets Mom sleep in and takes care of Kids.
Dad buys Mom card & flowers.
Dad hires sitter for kids.
Dad takes Mom to a nice restaraunt for dinner, and then a movie.
Dad pays.
Father's Day
Kids wake Dad up early
Kids give Dad homemade card.
The family goes to the buffet for dinner.
Dad pays.
Oh yes! that's it. The whole story!
I told the family I had to work today. Dad doesn't have to pay! Hmmmm. the day's not over yet.
BTW- I don't need a special day. I am proud of my daughter every day. What I enjoy most is teaching her to be independent and self sufficient. In a kind of balance, my wife likes to give her stuff. So, I get to help when she needs help and when she needs a new dress, well, guess who gets invited to go shopping? I guess that's the joy of being a parent. Now when the grandchildren come along, we spoil the grand child.
