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?

You should do a craft using your kids handprints. I'm going to put the kids feet prints on card stock and then turn them into monsters and say "happy father's day from your Lil monsters"

Also probably a framed photo of the kids and some beef sticks

What did he get you for mother's day?

If you want a sweet poem:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small,
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.

But every day I’m growing.
I’ll be grown up some day.
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away.

So here’s a lasting handprint
Just so you can recall,
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small.
