I have no idea what though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154200 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:54:15 +0000 DillonLion 154200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This came up on the other thread about Mother's day, but since DH doesn't think that I "qualify" as a mom yet since I'm still pregnant, I guess that means I don't need to do anything special for him on Father's day this year ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154198 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:53:03 +0000 mediagirl 154198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It will be his first Father's Day (I'm due June 9th) so I'm buying him a picture frame for one of our baby's first photos with him. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154127 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:03:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 154127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not this year, but I will in the future. I will probably make something or have pictures taken or something. I like gifts that are homemade and can be kept as a memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154117 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:58:08 +0000 banana 154117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: HAHAHA! I made my husband go through the baby name book this weekend to pick some names for our baby girl and 10 minutes into it, he goes "Can I go play now?" </p> <p>Man, I hope my kids share my love for reading and not my husband's! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154106 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:53:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 154106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: LOL!! I'm thinking DH is going to give me the same reaction. He HATES reading. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154104 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:52:57 +0000 banana 154104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119 @sorrycharlie: I just bought the strong father's one from Amazon! Yippee! I just read an excerpt and I think my husband will LOVE it, especially since he's so freaked out about having a daughter. haha. I might have to also get him the Boys version from the same author "Boys should be boys". Seriously, he's gonna be like "This isn't a present. It's homework!" (he hates reading unless it's sports-related). haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154095 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:46:12 +0000 chopsuey 154095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: yep!! Make your Dh read it! Mine did and really liked it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154083 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:41:07 +0000 sorrycharlie 154083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: the strong fathers one? awesome! that's kind of my plan..for me to read it and tell him about it. LOL!</p> <p>@banana: no problem! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154080 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:39:36 +0000 banana 154080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: So cute!

I bought it for DH and I read it too. :D </p> <p>I'll probably give/make him something personalized. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154067 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:32:36 +0000 sorrycharlie 154067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I bought this for DH, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Strong-Fathers-Daughters-Secrets-Father/dp/0345499395/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1336671117&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Strong-Fathers-Daughters-Secrets-Father/dp/0345499395/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1336671117&#038;sr=1-1</a>, and I got this one for my dad several years back, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Why-Daughter-Needs-Dad-Hundred/dp/1581822766/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1336671148&#038;sr=1-2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Why-Daughter-Needs-Dad-Hundred/dp/1581822766/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1336671148&#038;sr=1-2</a></p> <p>the second one is adorable. it has photos with little quotes, such as, "...to learn how to ride a bike." with a photo relating on each page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154062 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:31:00 +0000 banana 154062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: +1 for wanting to make daddy sappy! hahaha. I think it's cute! My husband isn't the super creative type so he usually just ends up buying me something generic (like flowers or a scarf...i don't even wear scarves). I told him I'm looking for something thoughtful. I could care less how much it costs. He said he will "try". hahaha. Curious to see what he comes up with.</p> <p>Oooooooh, what's a father/daughter book?? Sounds awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154053 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:27:26 +0000 sorrycharlie 154053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: HAHA I was thinking the same thing about mother's day and father's day! DH wasn't raised celebrating it, so I'm hoping that people will give him advice this mother's day at my grandparents house for next. He does well on birthdays and Christmas, though, also things he didn't grow up celebrating so we will see! We're also having a girl so I grabbed the father/daughter book, but I'm not sure what else to put with it! I wanna get him all sappy ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154045 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:24:37 +0000 banana 154045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to give him something special since we're expecting a baby girl but I'm not sure what to give him. Last year, I gave him a Fathers Day card from Tiny Prints from my son. I had tiny prints mail it to our house (addressed to my husband) and the return address had my son's name on it. keke. He was confused at first but then realized what it was and started tearing up. haha! I think i'm gonna do the same thing this year and try to make it a yearly tradition. Hopefully when my son gets older, he can make his own father's day cards and he can mail it to daddy himself. </p> <p>Man.....I'm putting all this thought in Father's Day for my husband. I better not be disappointed with Mother's DAY!!!! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154028 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:15:30 +0000 mrsjyw 154028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: hehe me too!!! dh has golfed at least once the last 3 wknds... and omg, all day football on sunday?! ugh. i know too much about football than i'd like to admit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154020 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:11:35 +0000 sorrycharlie 154020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought DH, "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know" (even though he loathes reading..I'm hoping he'll read it). I also plan to get a father-to-be card, and something else that I haven't decided yet. </p> <p>@mrsjyw: oooh good idea! I'm what I call a Sunday (&amp; other days) Widow..I lose him to golf when it's warm and football when it's chilly. How stinking cute would matching jerseys be?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-154015 Thu, 10 May 2012 12:05:14 +0000 mrsjyw 154015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're pregnant with our first, so i ordered something small. a newborn onesie, booties, and cap set of our local football team. dh is obsessed with all things nfl and fantasy, and bb is due in the thick of the football season :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-153949 Thu, 10 May 2012 11:11:26 +0000 Mrs. Pen 153949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! Not sure what yet... hmmm.</p> <p>it's his first fathers day so I really want it to be special. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-153948 Thu, 10 May 2012 11:10:59 +0000 Rubies 153948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've already started planning for hubs' first father's day! I've got my BIL and hubs' group of boyfriends to take hubs on a bromantical day of golfing! Hubs hasn't been out on the course since this time last year and he's been itching to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-153915 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:43:07 +0000 MamaMoose 153915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still pregnant so I think I'm going to just get him a little onsie that says something like "I love daddy". I'm not sure if he's planning on doing anything for Mother's day or not so we'll have to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day#post-153900 Thu, 10 May 2012 10:27:28 +0000 autumnlove 153900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you planning on giving your DH a gift? I am stumped...my Dad never wanted any gifts so we always got him cards and made him breakfast! </p>
