HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Today is Father's Day here in Oz. I would like to take this opportunity to say "Happy Fathers Day" to all our Dad's on the forum. What you do in parenting your kids is probably the single most important thing you can do in your lives - especially in the eyes of your kids. If your kids are grown and distant and do not appreciate what you have done, know that the community is glad you did a sterling job with them anyway. And know that most of them grow a brain and realise you did good at some stage in thier lives. If they are little and at home. Give them an extra cuddle today - they will cuddle you back. Have a lovely day, Dads. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 oh v funny Rob! I gave my Dad a photo book of his first time ever skiing - using the photo's I took in July. A stubbie holder with a photo of him and my hubby drinking at my house on it (never any doubt whose drink it is NOW), and a collection of man toiletries that he likes. He was happy. Papa got a new snowboard service tool kit. A Darrell Lea Dads Bag. New Calvins. Some new Zegna Intenso cologne (nice smell that). And a gift box of olive oil bath stuff. He is super hard to buy for. He bought his father a Darrell Lee Dads bag - he is even harder to buy for. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 My kids love fathers day more than I do. Usually on the night before there's a lot of whispering and scurrying around the house, top secret stuff. In the morning I get presented with a fresh breakfast menu in a little make shift type cafe. I love being a dad. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 can't really say I like father's day, mother's day, valentines day, etc. Just made up so people go spend on things that are not needed but look nice for the occasion. Link to post Share on other sites
