Cece00 replied: I dont think it is. But I have been known to be spiteful, and I dont feel bad about that 
Farelle replied: HA HA!!!  I love it!! My husband got me a card and then proceeded to tell me that he "didn't have time" to get me anything.........?????? HE didn't have time?? I thought the same thing you did but then thought that the guilt of getting something for him and <ahem> reminding him that I got nothing would be more fun!! HA HA. It is!!!  Oh and I also got him something that I can use too! 
CantWait replied: I GOT A BIG FAT NOTHING. I'M GETTING HIM AN EVEN BIGGER FATTER NOTHING.
ALTHOUGH WE WILL GO OUT TO DINNER BECAUSE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, I'VE TAKEN ON THE ROLE AS FATHER MANY TIMES WHILE HE'S BEEN AWAY SO IT'S MY DAY AS WELL.
To him Mother's Day is just ANOTHER day, so he won't mind if Father's Day is also.
moped replied: Same boat here!
PrairieMom replied: I got nothing this year too, but that was when Alexis was in the hospital, so we were all a bit worried and stressed. He gets a free pass for this year.
Our Lil' Family replied: That's exactly what I did last year.....this year he learned his lesson and got me something for MD so I got him something for FD.
BAC'sMom replied: I got zip- zilch-nada and he's getting the same.
Spiteful is my middle name these days!
lovemy2 replied: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA - I was JUST sitting here thinking what could I go and do for an hour and a half on Father's Day as payback for Dave leaving to go to the gym for an hour and a half on Mother's Day.....
Don't they know if they were just nice we wouldn't have to be such b_ _tches?
But if I were you - I would take the high road and getting him something from Logan of course
Twelve Volt Man replied: I got my wife nothing for Mother's Day. By the same token, I don't expect, nor want, anything for Father's Day. Then again, we seldom buy each other gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. If there's something either of us wants, and we can afford it, we'll buy it. I've seen a lot of guys I work with, who end up spending a ton of money buying stuff for their wives, just to have something to give. To me, it doesn't make much sense. I'd rather my wife get what she wants or needs on her own, than wait for a special occasion. Now, if it just so happens that there's something special she's wanting, I'll get it for her. But, I just won't go out and pick up something for the sake of giving her a gift. Fortunately for me, she feels the same!
Kaitlin'smom replied: he will get something from Kaitlin as she got me something but he wont get anything from me, since he coudl not even speak the words to me I am going to do the same
MomToJade&Jordan replied: I actually got a card from my kids. So I made him a Montage from his kids.
msoulz replied:
We are exactly the same way. And I would rather spend money while spending time with the dh/family instead of on a thing for me (or him). To each his own.
Mommy2Isabella replied: We aren't big on gift buying. We went to the strawberry patch, where you pick your own strawberries. I am making him a photo memory book of photos and memories of him and bella, to date 
Twelve Volt Man replied:
Worth more than any gift you could buy!
Mommy2Isabella replied:
He didn't have a father growing up, so this is a very special holiday for us, and I love being creative. As well, his little girl is his world So I am sure he will love it.
Though he did say today, he would love a trip to Italy for fathers day ... lol HAHAHAHA He was dreaming obviously
Calimama replied: I would still get him something from Logan at least, even just a little card or maybe a homemade cake.
Twelve Volt Man replied:
I agree. A card, his favorite dinner, or something like that doesn't take much effort, but means a lot.
luvmykids replied: This sounds corny but I told DH all I wanted for mothers day was for him to come to church with me.....he didn't. He said, that same day, that all he wanted for fathers day was to be left alone to watch the US Open. So thats exactly what (and all LOL) he'll get. That is, until I get back from picking up the kids, pretty much smack in the middle of the Open
Although the kids will probably make him cards; I won't drag them into my petty behavior 
MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
I agree and that's exactly what I've done the past few years, but I am about fed slap up with not getting any gift that any thought went into. B-day gifts, Christmas gifts, all gift certificates. And not even a card from Logan on Mother's Day. He said it slipped his mind. Hello, they talked about it in church that morning. I had to work, he could have ran out and picked up a card. Would have taken 10 minutes. I'm just not that into giving him warm fuzzies this year.
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: NO. I had made an appt to get a massage on MD, but cancelled because I was worried about money. I was making it easy on DH so that he didn't have to try to get me something last minute, like he usually does...but I just went ahead and cancelled. So although that was my choice to cancel, I'm doing the same for him and just saving the money. We're leaving for vacation in a week and I said "hey, can we just plan on saving that money for our trip?" He agreed.
Don't feel bad Kelly. My DH is golfing today...and then Sunday he is going flyfishing...so I certainly don't feel sorry for him! 
MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Okay, I'm not going to feel guilty. I may still give him a card, we'll see.
Insanemomof3 replied: LOL I would get him something. And make it big and make comments about how even though you got nothing on your day you didn't want to make him suffer. Lay on the guilt. But I am mean. 
holley79 replied: Shawn told me the cruise was my Mother's Day present. Since he got to enjoy it he's getting a card only. If he asks I'll tell him the cruise was his Father's day present.
