Fathers day

[Hazel]

My insensitive lump of a husband didn't get me anything for mothers day and I was upset (He still hears about it now after all these months).

Not going to be petty though so will get him a card. I was thinking about getting him this Man U outfit for baby girls that he's been looking at but it's £10 and I just bring myself to "waste" money on that. Thought I might get him something baby needs like the room thermometer , he will obviously find this very boring but I'm tight as a ducks bottom .


Are you all getting something for OHs for fathers day??

I didn't get anything either

I have bought something for DH though, it's a book called 'How to be a DAD' it's got very little writing and looks more of a photographic journal, he's into photography so thought he'd enjoy it.

I'm also going to buy him this one and try to hide it in my hospital bag as a little surprise (like you'd need anything after meeting your newborn, but hey)!

OH didn't get me anything for Mothers day either despite my hint

I've bought OH a card though. I'm refraining from getting a present though, as it's my birthday a week later (and his) and he forgote my birthday last year too! x

Ooooh, unforgiveable!! :O

I got flowers and a card from Dave for mothers day, even baby daddy got me something (wow thinking about it we pretty much split on mothers day lol)

I MAY have gotten Dave something but he'll probably read this and know lol! Obviously IF i have got him somehting its not exactly a "to daddy" type thing, more of a "thankyou for pretty much being daddy" thing

I didn't get anything on mother's day either-which i thought was a bit mean!! Especaillly when I heard you could get cards saying 'For a mother to be' I was pretty offended!!

Anyway...cos I'm a bit more thoughful that my DH I've bought him a card. I didn't knnow whether baby would be here by then...she's due on the 8th June but I could quite easily still be waiting when Father's day arrives!!!

i got perfume, a card, a teddy and a mummy fridge magnet for mothers day so wanted to get him something

as i am 10 days over i cant really get to the shops so i just got cheesy stuff from tesco, super dad t-shirt & boxers, best dad toblerone and i love my daddy bib (£1.50 from woolworths)

i also got a photo frame with me and my daddy on that i was planning to put a pic of him and baby in

tesco has some great stuff if you just want a token gift, they have mugs for £1 and socks £1 and the toblerone was £1.60

I didn't get a Mothers Day anything either, which doesn't worry me - although if he forgets next year there will be trouble.

I have bought OH a 0-3 month 'my first liverpool strip' romper suit. I'm not getting a card though. TBH I'm only getting it because it is something we'd talked about getting anyway and I like buying stuff

 

[BeckyJ]

ive got the same but for aston villa, mine is a 0-3 but it seems huge!!!

 

[Mildly]

Mine seems huge as well, it'll probably be his coming home outfit but I think I'll have to get a little fat suit to put underneath it so it fits better

 

[BeckyJ]

i bought the 0-3 for a friends baby when he was born and he was 5months before it fit properly

these footy teams must think all babies are biff!

 

[abcd1234]

these footy teams must think all babies are biff!

Well isnt there a programme on 4(or 5 or another channel like that) about our fat baby epidemic!!!!! No wonder people think all babies are massive now lol

 

[BeckyJ]

omg yeh ive seen the trailer for that, that baby is huge, thats gotta hurt

I got stuff from bump on mothers day - although Daddy must of got them cos i cant remember bump taking his/herslef to the shops

DH is away on fathers day, but i've got him a card from moonpig - you can upload photos on there so i've put bumps scan pic on there and written it from bump, olny cost £3 or so but i know he'll love it...he's turning into a right soppy sod!

 

[BeckyJ]

awww sparky thats a lovely idea

mines forgot about mothersday despite being shown how cute the 'mother to be' cards were and hes been reminded several times since

i was ging to get him a card etc for fathers day but wasnt sure what to get.

My husband's birthday was two weeks before Father's Day, so I got him a card for FD and as a combination gift I got him a great digital camera he has wanted for ages. It was too expensive for just one of either days, but I justified it by calling it a gift for both days and because we were desperate for a decent camera for when the baby arrives!

 

[handbagqueen]

oh, I didn't see this thread before...I've posted one in off topic asking for advice over whether or not to get my dh a card for fathers day as he got me one for mothers day. I had planned to do the moonpig thing too.
Needed advice cos I wasn't sure if it was such a good idea after his dad passing away so recently but I think I will do it now as he is a daddy to be and that shouldn't be ignored....i think, oh I hope I don't upset him!

My DH didn't get me anything for Mother's Day either. My Mum and I were talking about this same topic this morning and we said men (obviously not all) just don't seem to pick up on hints or realise it would be a sweet thing to do. My DH is so sweet just didn't get me a prezzzie

However, bump has brought DH a card and http://www.next.co.uk/shopping/children/newborn/3/5 that says

'my dad is is a dishy dad' DH is shy and will roll his eyes at that

and a picture frame that says Me + My Daddy Dad see

I'm sad to say I brought them back in February!
