This is a thing every gift occasion. My wife basically needs for nothing. She literally grows flowers in the yard. Tons of em. I have built so many planters. We give bouquets away constantly. So flowers is out. She wants a fence built. Maybe I will buy all the materials and put a bow on the pile. LOL

I usually cook and the kids come over. At least my daughter does. My stupid son often blows it off. He's a tard sometimes. LOL

When my kids were around 10 years old I explained that I am not part of mothers day except to maybe cook.

All the extras....hint hint...is up to you. Your mom is not my mother.

My Daughter steps up. My son, see @Mandelon because it's pretty much a duplicate.

FOR THE RECORD...Wife day is every time I hear "Honey I need ?" and sometimes wife day happens a couple hundred times a day. Simply amazing.

For mothers day I went to a theatre play with wifey, "Grease". It was entertaining & a couple of the actors had amazing singing voices. First time in 25 yrs this theatre has produced Grease and back then the lead actor was none other than Adam Lambert. There's a few now famous people that came from this theatre group.

I bet chicks that don’t have kids still expect to be celebrated on Mother’s Day 🤣
I know one that claims she was once pregnant, who would sleep with it is a different question and why i doubt the story, she demands to be celebrated on mother's day. She never actually had a baby.

Cedar planks......$ What? Depending on the fence length a new Diamond Ring might be cheaper. :oops:

Honey does all weekend from me. Like most weekends.
Took the kids phones away and they are mom's bitches for the day today. I'll make a nice dinner tonight.
Most likely send the 3 of them skiing tomorrow for the last day of the season.

A very nice and sentimental card and a box of chocolates. The kids are on the East cost right now but when they get back we'll have a belated mothers day. I will do all the cooking tomorrow and try to make it a nice day but it's usually never enough.

Wife said let’s take the Porsche out and have a picnic up Angeles crest .
She didn’t have to say it twice !

Going to be a great day .
I guess that’s why I’m married 36 years .
But still like looking at the good morning threads .

I got the center console out of storage so my lady can have a boat ride on Mother’s Day. A high of 70 today. On top of 40 degree water that should keep us at a pleasant temperature of 55 on the Lake.

Very true. My GF has two adult Daughters, I let them plan and pay for the day.
I too will cook if they ask.

I installed a new Microwave in the kitchen for her within two hours from the last one tapping out,,, and flowers.
$100 off at Home Depot cash and carry.


I asked the Home Depot Appliance employee, which is a good one? She said of the 9 brands on display, Samsung, LG, Frigidaire, on and on "they are all junk."

Old one lasted 21 years and over that time the house has settled, and cabinets swelled locking it in, and a simple 15 minute change-out R&R took and extra hour with out damaging anything.

So far headed down to La Jolla for a walk by Windansea beach, then to the Farmer's Market for Crepes. Random small gifts will be showing up during the day. Kids coming over later. Getting the steamed mussels in garlic wine broth from a local restaurant brought over for dinner. She loves that. Gonna make some strawberry thing for dessert. 99 cents a basket at Vons! Mandelon uses the digital coupons for the win.

Kicking out honey do items all day too. Pool time next. Bottomless Mimosas served all day. La Vida Dulce!

At moms for a pool day rn. It’s been so damn hot lol. The AC in our Tahoe is shot again so that’s been a hell of a ride these past two days. I ended up making the worst breakfast of all time for my wife LMAO. It’s the thought that counts right

Ok what the hell did you guys get your wives??

I gave her two kids. I know it is not going to be a popular opinion but this isn't my wife's day. This is my mother's day. Our kids are adults and it is their job today to thank my wife..... yes we are still married.

Out here it’s the Termite. He has 1” thick glasses & stands on the corner of LA Ave and Sycamore.

Used to sell porno DVDs until YouPorn folded his business.
