Shit, I finished reading and now expect someone to swoop in and tell me I wasn't helpful.

What?  Bitter isn't helpful?  Since when?

Same as @supergreen 's first idea. I'll put as much thought into his day as he did mine. So basically I'll get to do whatever I want and then try to pretend I was all thoughtful.

And watch, our husbands are going to be so butthurt that we "forgot their special day" and "how could you do that" yadda yadda yadda. ::eye roll::

ETA: I'm sorry @ojo that you're in this club with us. You and UnderProtest deserve better!

I so don't care about his feelings right now.  He has been a selfish ass since we moved.

Mr. Kirkette is going on a 5 day guys trip to Portland this week for a half marathon.
We're running a 5k as a family Fathers Day morning.
Gift wise, I really want to get him a new bike, or some cutlery from Williams-Sonoma.
We'll go to lunch, hopefully at a brewery because he loves beer.

*My birthday is always on or around Father's Day, and he prefers to focus on that instead. I try to do some Father's Day stuff that weekend anyway.

My 35th Bday was on H's first Father's Day. He made a big deal about my horning in on "his holiday". We went away for the weekend to the beach, as I had to give a lecture there and I got him something every day we were there, including the Bordeaux futures on FD. I got an unwrapped Soda Stream when we got home. Womp Womp. 

He did make it up that Christmas with a beautiful antique ring with Caramini's birthstone.

Perhaps your H can give mine lessons.   And also, Birthday twins!

I'm hoping the Rangers give him a gift on behalf of me and win the Stanley Cup around that time.

Back at you!  Maybe we should start a commune and just throw all the kids together. I thought about a sister wife thing, but since our enlightened male niq also failed at Mother's Day that won't work.  

Who else wants to join? @ojo?

I am stealing someone else's idea from another post. I am going to give him a baseball with M's handprint on it. We're a big baseball family, so I'm sure he'll love it.

I'm not sure what else we'll do yet.

Ooooh a baseball with a handprint!! I think I'm stealing this idea too. 

This year DH got me a picture frame, one side is a cute pic of M, the other size is M's handprint. I have it on my desk at work, I would love to get DH something similar but not exactly the same. This will be perfect.

I'm be taking updated D-A-D photos for his frame he keeps on his desk at work. Other than that I'm not sure yet.

Ok who has 3 kids? You can do this!
