I set up a golf day for DH the Saturday before Father's Day, and he was away doing that for most of the day. Yesterday, we did stuff together, but it definitely wouldn't have bothered me if he wanted to play golf yesterday instead of Saturday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy/page/2#post-2214947 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 09:15:08 +0000 Keybee 2214947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our house mothers/Father's Day is about acknowledging how much we each do and resting.<br /> I think everyone celebrates differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy/page/2#post-2214878 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 08:23:11 +0000 Peasinapod 2214878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be okay with it. But my husband is great at stepping up every other day of the year so a day off seems reasonable. On mothers day I had some quiet time too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy/page/2#post-2214852 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 07:36:27 +0000 Littlebit 2214852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would bother me. </p> <p>For my mothers day gift I got a massage and pedicure and I purposely planned it for a weekday and used a day of PTO because I wanted to be with them. We both WOH so weekends are really the only quality time we get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy/page/2#post-2214845 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 07:28:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2214845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me either. We all know how exhausting parenting is. I'm used to caring for DS on my own most of the time anyhow so this wouldn't be any different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy/page/2#post-2214828 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 06:23:34 +0000 ShootingStar 2214828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be annoyed if he wanted the whole day free. But then I'm not really the kind of mom that wanted to spend Mother's Day at the spa. I wanted to spend it with my family. DH did have a couple hours to himself where he ran an errand and did some shopping. I think it was a good balance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214822 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 06:13:42 +0000 looch 2214822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would bother me, I'll be honest, largely because it's the activities that were chosen, stay in bed and watch movies. If he wanted to go out and play golf, I'd be okay with that, but not the entire day. I would want to do at least one family thing, it doesn't have to be elaborate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214803 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 01:05:30 +0000 lamariniere 2214803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: agree! Since you both seem to be on the same page, why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214800 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 01:00:32 +0000 Kimberlybee 2214800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would not bother me at all. I would prefer to have at least 1 meal together (brunch, lunch, or dinner) and he can have the rest of the day as he wishes...fishing, golfing, video games, or whatever he wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214796 Mon, 22 Jun 2015 00:26:53 +0000 PawPrints 2214796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of thought that was the point, like moms taking a spa day for mother's day. DH spent a lot of today with me/us since that's our Sunday routine but I made an effort to carve out time for him to relax by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214785 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 23:33:48 +0000 derevival 2214785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be a little sad, but I would understand and be okay with it. We all need a little me time to recharge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214781 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 23:29:01 +0000 Meowkers 2214781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way mister!! The day celebrates DH being a good father and wanting to get away from LO is not a good piece of fathering! He can have "me time" other days of the year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214773 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 23:03:40 +0000 cookiemomster 2214773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be really sad, but I'd go along with it and not give him a hard time or anything. Fortunately we are equally codependent so that's not how either of us would choose to spend either holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214772 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 23:02:18 +0000 HLK208 2214772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me at all! I like alone time on Mother's Day some years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214760 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:24:38 +0000 shellio 2214760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gosh, my DH is a SAHD and I was surprised he wanted to spend Father's Day with us. He did appreciate a break this afternoon when I took the kids to the playground for a while. I WOH for 50-60+ hours a week and I still like a break from my kids (that is not work-related) sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214742 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:24:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 2214742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he wanted the full day alone I would be sad, but I like being able to have some me time on Mother's Day and get a pedicure and a haircut or something (and spend the rest of the day with the boys). We usually spend Father's Day with my IL's, though, which is what D wants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214740 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 21:20:38 +0000 irene 2214740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been a bit sad but would be fine with it. Honestly, I wanted a holiday on mothers day too, if I even had the luxury of getting one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214732 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 20:58:56 +0000 littleblessings 2214732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no way but SO doesn't live with me so he doesn't need a day off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214706 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 19:38:34 +0000 Applesandbananas 2214706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For Mother's Day, I desperately wanted a day off, so I totally understand it. But, I took DS out today, to give DH some chill time and it did make me a little sad to see all the dads out with their kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214705 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 19:38:21 +0000 mrsjyw 2214705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I was actually going to set up a round of golf for Dh after letting him sleep in and chill by himself while I took Ds out to run some errands. Golf didn't happen due to weather and he ended up playing w Ds half the day. But regardless if he asked for "me time" I'd be totally ok with it! He rarely gets it and deserves time to recharge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214702 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 19:31:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2214702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly for the whole day, but for part? Nah. I got a good five hours of alone time on mother's day between shopping and gym time and it was nice. And I would hate to think DH resented me for it even though he offered! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214688 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 19:07:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2214688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only reason it would bother me is because I know he wouldn't request this - it would be out of character. But I would completely understand! I might be a little sad if he wanted the whole day alone, but asking for a sleep-in and some time away/alone is completely understandable. After all, I got a pedicure for Mother's Day, and that was at least two hours alone (once I dawdled a little). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214685 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 18:58:24 +0000 Mae 2214685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't even ask my husband, I just booked him a tee time and sent him off golfing. lol Time away is important and I think we both definitely are at a point in parenting where we are a little burned out and getting some time off makes us so much happier and more appreciative when we come back. Nothing wrong with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214682 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 18:51:10 +0000 sarac 2214682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The whole day would bother me. Part of the day I could see, I guess, but I feel lucky that my husband just wanted to have a fun day with his family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214680 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 18:47:55 +0000 msplatypus 2214680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is going to hang out at starbucks while I put the baby to bed so he can play video games on his ipad. Our apartment is really small and he can't not help if he's home. I think it's cool. He also had to work all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214677 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 18:38:16 +0000 autumnlove 2214677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214670 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 18:16:27 +0000 Anagram 2214670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me at all emotionally......but I would be ever so slightly put out because I have LO alone every single weeknight, plus I work full time, AND I'm hugely pregnant and basically exhausted.. </p> <p>So I would probably make him pay me back by getting a similar kind of day the next weekend, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214656 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:57:36 +0000 travelgirl1 2214656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me at all. It's his Father's Day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214652 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:45:13 +0000 Truth Bombs 2214652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This wouldn't bother me. My poor husband is solo parenting our 2.5 year old for four days while I'm out of town for a work conference so we are going to celebrate next weekend, and he can do whatever he wants, he's deserved. I spent Mother's Day alone in bed all day with awful morning sickness so it wasn't fun but it wasn't family time either, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-would-this-annoy#post-2214651 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 17:39:59 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2214651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wouldn't bother me at all. However, if he wanted to take a trip without us instead of relaxing at home, it would make me sad. </p>
