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? šŸ˜‚

I’ve seen these cute personalized baby books going around Instagram and all the dads crying 🄺 seems like an adorable idea and keepsake!

My partner hasn’t got me anything as he said my proper mother’s day will kick in when little girl is here but he treated me for lunch so I guess it’s still something. šŸ˜‚
However, answer to your question. Does your partner like anything like into sports etc? Mine loves rugby and moto GP and I will get a personalised baby grow of his favourite rugby team. He is also into funky tshirts and I am planning to get one made around bikes and our baby girl as by that point she should be born. We are due in May. I also seen some first time dad survival kit for changing nappies as my partner is dreading that the most. šŸ˜‚ I used to make keyrings for his bike and car as well.

My babies dad smokes and I got him a lighter engraved with a pic of our daughter and writing on the back. Maybe something like that not necessarily a lighter but you can get lots of things engraved x

My partner got me earrings which I'll wear when we get married this weekend. I've been looking at personalised books too, something that gives a nod to his interests like f1 or star wars

I bought my husband (for his birthday) a poster which is the stars the night my baby girl was born, and it states her name, weight, time of birth and the place. He loves it 🄰 would highly recommend looking on Etsy ā¤ļø

My partner absolutely loves PokĆ©mon, so I’m getting little man a gangar outfit, with a personalised Father’s Day card that will also look like a PokĆ©mon card

Im making a photo album of his journey through our pregnancy so far. All his dad moments, photos, pictures of baby during scans, a timeline with a message from baby at the end about how much she loves him and how she can’t wait to see him.

Everything we have done together during pregnancy, first time bump, mummy and daddy went to theatre, london, shopping for cravings at 3am. Stubs from shows etc. as a bit of a keepsakes xx

I got my hubby a personalised wallet it has an engraving of the girls on it

I got my husband a personalised onesie for the baby for Christmas - it was cycling related because he’s a mega cyclist. That was pretty good for him as he doesn’t ever want much for himself.

A few years ago I got him a silver stacking ring with his LG (my SD) initials so this year I’m getting him the same with the initials for new bub 😊

There’s an adorable book of illustrations by Liz Climo called You’re Dad. We have both ā€œYou’re Dadā€ and ā€œYou’re Momā€. They are so cute and relatable. Excellent gift for any parent

I always do dinner and buy mugs that say daddy can’t go wrong with aftershave

What are his hobbies, or likes? X

I got a personalised scrapbook last year off of notonthehighstreet that said 'the adventures of daddy and freddie' and put some of the scan pictures in, bump pics, the scratchcard I gave him to let him knowšŸ˜‚ and pictures of them together so far. There's loads of pages though so going to add to it every year until he is too cool to want to have pictures with daddyšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ xxx

Watch, cuff links, jewelry, tools, nice Cologne. Especially if you can get something like the jewelry or Cologne bottle engraved

A time capsule to bury that he can fill with anything.. memories from this time… to dig up in the future or leave for your children to find.

Needing friends.

Hey I’m a 20yo mom to a super cute 6week old baby girl. I’ve been struggling to make mom friends more my age since I’m a bit younger. I love going on walks and hikes with her, or taking her out to grab a sweet treat. I really just want some to connect with, someone who knows what it’s like. Text me or let me know if you’d like to chat! šŸ¤šŸ¼

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the Ā£27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Why am I so pathetic...

I just cant walk away from this "friendship" that is so glaringly obviously one way..I go 3 days feel great and then just end up caving in and messaging to see how they are

I feel im worth more than this however something in me is clearly desperate to retain the 1 friend I have šŸ˜” even writing this is sound so stupid

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please šŸ™
