I’ve already had my banana and skim milk, no need for more food until 2-3:00pm. And don’t give me that stupid one day a week menu, I want the REAL menu with REAL food. 1

This is the true meaning of Father's Day! ^^^^ Wait till they are in college and you are transferring a cool grand in what SEEMS like on a weekly basis. I would trade back for "Secret life of whatever" back in a second!"

I have put my foot down that there will be no outings for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. Those days just mean bigger crowds and slower service. 1

I wish just once my wife would ask me “What do you want to do for Father’s Day?” That would be nice. I would like to go fishing with the kids or on a family hike, for example. Instead, I get to go watch Secret Life of Pets and then go to a habachi dinner with another family. I don’t even like the other family we’re going with, and I HATE habachi! Oh well, such is life I suppose. I’ll just drink heavily and smile. Father’s Day is not about fathers. Stop lying to us. 1

You got the ? for the ‘father and son in Bills gear’ photo. Either you added the potential ‘child abuse’ photo later, or my phone initially did not display it. ? 1

Playing hockey early afternoon and grilling out some steaks later on for everyone. Only thing missing is golf but had elbow surgery a few weeks ago so still not quite ready for that yet. Raining anyways so would have been a bad golf day (but good drinking day!). Did have to do 730 am church with a 2 1/2 year old tho 2
The Wiz Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 My wife at least thought about letting me join her in the shower this morning but instead made me a cup of coffee so I'd say that's a pretty good start to my day. Made cupcakes with my girls this morning also which was also nice. 1
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 If you’re a father, earn your yearly accolades by being present in the moment every other day too—and since we all mess up, each new day is a new chance to get it right. Remember, you’re only a failure if your kids end up being Patriots fans 2
vorpma Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 I think a few on TBD would probably prefer to wish me a "Happy Mothers Day" instead, but to all the rest of you have a great day - training camp coming soon!

Haha yeah seems kind of counter intuitive but it feels good enough to probably handle the non check / loosely competitive nature of the “beer league” hockey team I’m on. I won’t be teeing up slappers or anything like that. I probably could golf but it’s still a little tender to be taking full cuts over and over all day long. And of course when i inevitably hit the ground and take a huge chunk of earth with it, that’d probably sting a bit. It was a minor procedure (nerve related not structural) so from a healing perspective I can’t really “mess it up”. Still think I’m a couple weeks from golf though.
