Father's day gift ideas

So after seeing many posts with upset women on mother's day, firstly I'd like to say my intention in this post isn't to make any of you feel bad.

My partner was very thoughtful on mothers day, I know it's early but I've been trying to think of a gift for his first fathers day. Google has the usual personalised mug gift but I wanted something a bit more special.

I've always been rubbish with thoughtful presents. Any ideas anyone? Anyone recieved something thoughtful for mothers day this year that I could steal the idea from? 😂

What day is Mother's Day and Father's Day 2025?

The Father's Day date 2025 will be on Sunday, June 15, 2025 in the US and UK.

But there are a few other national holidays that also honor dads for different reasons:

Forgive Mom & Dad Day ‒ March 18
National Single Parent Day ‒ March 21
National Superhero Day ‒ April 28
National Father-in-Law Day ‒ July 30
National Working Parents Day ‒ September 16
National Stepfamily Day ‒ September 16
National Family Day ‒ September 26
Family History Month ‒ October
International Men’s Day ‒ November 19
National Roots Day ‒ December 23

Which came first, Mother’s or Father’s day?

It was actually Mother’s Day that came first.

The first Mother’s Day took place in May 1907, held by Anna Jarvis, to honor her late mother.

Father’s Day first started on June 19, 1910, started by Sonora Smart Dodd in Washington, to thank her father, a Civil War veteran who raised her and her five brothers and sisters.

June 19 was actually Dodd’s father’s birthday, and in 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson made it official.

Does Father's Day change date every year?

Yes, Father’s Day changes each year ‒ Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

Father’s Day 2025 will take place on Sunday, June 15, 2025.

Why is Father's Day in June?

Appreciation post 🙌🏻

I see so much negativity about husbands and partners on here so I thought I'd create a post to say thank you for the good dad's, husbands and partners out there! show me your favourite pictures of your other half with your kids 🥰

This man right here is my absolute rock. Throughout my entire pregnancy I worked as hard as I could and every night he rubbed my feet, massaged my back and spoke to our little man, sang him songs, rubbed my belly and helped me in every way he could. He works hard so we have a nice house, Nice things, food on the table and he's the most supportive partner I could wish for.

Throughout giving birth he held my hand, told me how proud of me he is and that I was doing amazing. I will never forget the look on his face when he met our son for the first time. He smiled and cried and gave my mum the biggest hug whilst still holding my hand.

And now 6 months of our son's life has flown by and he continues to be the most incredible man I've ever met. Michael I love you and I appreciate everything you do for me and our son 💙

I've finally done it

I have finally done it. I have finally become the trope, the stereotype.

I have become bitter, resentful, and very overwhelmed and overloaded. I am very unhappy and hit burnout. And I snapped at my husband last night. I work full-time, and work has been very busy so im working late a lot. Im also in grad school. I also have a toddler that has become VERY clingy with me. My husband works shorter days but commutes, so he usually gets home after me by an hour or more. When he gets home, he usually heads to the restroom for at least 30 mins when he gets home. And now my toddler doesnt want anything to do with him. So im doing all the toddler duties until bed. I dont get 5 mins to myself. Not for almost 2 years. I finally hit my wall. I have also, somehow, become my MILs medical ride service and she somehow has an appt every week, it seems?! Shes not sick!! My husband was complaining that he needs to change routine to fit in a workout sometimes, and I lost it. I have been BEGGING for 5 mins to myself for months. I have been telling him how im not good, im going to burn out for months. And between his attitude and him complaining (which really got me b/c he blames me for not being able to work out?! Saying I need help when he gets home so he just cant workout now) I just lost it completely. I told him how unfair my life has become and I have the entire mental and emotional load and it is just not fair. He got mad at me and said "hes trying" when hes literally not trying at all. What do I do?? No one is taking the load from me! And im done and dont know what to do now.
I do not like this version of me.

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.

Big vent!

Hi mums.
I'm a first time mum in my 40s to twin boys.They are almost 5 months old and the biggest miracle in my life!
I am struggling!!!
I'm pretty sure I have ppa as my pregnancy was a very high risk and all I remember was crying from anxiety of all the ifs!Thankfully even born at 35 weeks and skinny,didn't need iu time.
My husband is not helping much because he's always too busy with work.He will "look" after them usually between 8pm-12am so I can have a chance to sleep.
He expects me to just sleep when I touch the pillow,even though I hear tje babies crying and him don't really bother because most of the times he'll be on his laptop working.
When I tell him I can't relax to fall asleep because I feel you r neglecting the babies,he says I'm the problem becauae I'm always there with them and don't give them alone time!!
I am angry!!I am furious!!
I can't keep.up.with housework becauae someone alwaya neess me and most of the times they nap I either cook and clean tje kitchen,do laundry or try and take a quick nap.
He doesn't help.around the house,becauae..guess what?always super busy.
I asked him nicely we could clean the house together every Saturday morning so it's easier and quicker for both of us and he said no,because he has a lot of work but probably wants to sleep until 12 or 2.
2 days ago a button of his coat ripped and I told him I'll sew it these days.
Earlier this morning while running late for his work,as always,he weara the coat and told him didn't get the chance to fix the button and sarcastically said..of.course u didn't!!!
I spent all night awake because one of the babies had congested nose and we've been trying to reduce one fees at night.
I wanted to punch him!!He left and I started crying...I cry so much,even at 5 months pp...
I can't go on like this anymoreeeee...
The crying in my ears is constant..my head is always numb..I've gained so much weight and can't find the strength to get back on track..
Even if I try to.find a therapist to just talk,is it gonna help?I really don't know😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

If your partners parent passes away

And you and that parent didn't get along are you still go to the funeral?

Not my situation!

Is this clever or cruel?

My husband and i were talking and with social media and the internet in general being a terrifying dumpster fire, we are trying to figure out the best way to keep our son safe while still teaching him how to safely be online and moderation.

We landed on the idea of giving him the 90's kid treatment. A computer in the living room for us to keep an eye on what hes doing online, and once we feel hes mature enough to hang with friends without adult supervision he gets a flip phone. When we feel he is responsible enough and he earns and saves up the money for the physical phone, case, and screen cover, then we will be happy to take him to get a smart phone.

I thought this was air tight, but now my brother says its cruel to give a kid a flip phone, and besides he can just use his friends phones at school.

My husband and i remember a time before the internet, and we remember having complete access to something no one understood yet. We saw unspeakable things and are always battling with the urge to put the phone and social media down. I dont want that for my son, especially with his brain so vulnerable still.

Avoidant husband

I love my husband and he is a good man. We have some issues in our relationship however, as he has an avoidant attachment style (finds romance/intimacy/being emotional difficult). This comes from him having to be independent from a young age and having quite an abusive mother.
The issues in our relationship are mainly around a lack of sex and intimacy. I think the problem is that to feel turned on, I need to feel connected and wanted. My husband (being avoidant) will usually make jokes about being horny whereas I would want to have someone make me feel beautiful/sexy to get in the mood.
It sounds terrible but I've sometimes had dreams about exes that would make me feel this way, and the romance we had (eye contact, intensity, deep words). It makes me feel really guilty but I feel like i'm starved of that. My husband would like a lot more sex but I can't always force myself if I'm not feeling it.
We've spoken a bit about therapy but I know its often really expensive so we probably wouldn't be able to afford it. Do you have any suggestions please? I know that neither of us are wrong in what we want, just different but I'm scared about whether we can fix it or if we're doomed?
