Do you 'do' Mother's Day? It is, of course, vital that we get all the facts ...

Oh Hell No!

Bad enough that every holiday is supposed to be celebrated with Diamonds for her (according to the jewelers). I've never seen the "gift" for him on any anniversary/Mother's Day/whatever commercial. There's also some nonsense about presenting her with a "birthing gift" when each child is born. The preferred gift? Diamonds!

A male chauvenist co-worker once told me that wives are nothing but extremely expensive hookers. Someone seems to be trying to prove it.

I love my wife, I really do, and she was thanked good and proper on mother's day, Valentines, and our anniversary. I don't think I'm going to thank her for making me a father today (wish I could tell the stork to take 'em back sometimes! ;) )

I was both mother and father to my son. Don't send flowers, send money!
And Peace - that was hilarious.

Gives new meaning to the term 'courting'.

On second thought, given the circumstances, it might be wiser to have your lawyer send her lawyer some flowers for Father's Day ... (it's the though that counts) ...

Don't you think it would be a lovely idea to have your lawyer send her some flowers for Father's Day?

We are still on speaking terms. Whatshername can call my lawyer any time she wants.

Great idea for the mother(s) of your children, too!

Father's Day - a commercially made-up nonsense. At least Mother's Day has some kind of traditional basis, albeit pretty tenuous.

Yes - Give your wife flowers for Fathers Day. If it wasn't for her you wouldn't be a dad anyway. And tell her that if you had it to all over again - that you'd do it all over again. It's an inexpensive way to show your appreciation. For that matter - if your mother is still alive you should send her some flowers on your birthday. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her.

At least - that's my opinion. As they say - your milage may vary.
