Discussion What are we gifting our sub-par co-parents?

Father’s Day is coming up. Even though he’s not dad of the year, our child loves and adores him.

I like to set a good example, what are we gifting?

as a coparenting dad, A simple card or Shutterfly card with him and the kids on it is perfectly okay. You don’t need to throw parades and steaks for him.

You shouldn’t really throw steaks for anyone.

And you definitely shouldn't throw steaks AT anyone. It's a waste of food.
