Mothers day/fathers day

Tegans Mama · Mar 17th, 2012, 05:11 AM

Since all or families have two mums/two dads (or would of you were in a relationship) I have a question..
What do you do about mothers/fathers day? We don't celebrate it at the minute because the fact there are two of us sort of cancels it out - we can't make each other breakfast in bed etc. i would love to do something for my wife but she would hit the roof of I made her breakfast in bed (because she'd have rather have done that for me) or got her a gift.
I was just wondering what everyone else does

Our first daughter decided to call me "Meena" when she was just 10 months old. So on father's day, we have always had "Meena's day" instead. Since we now have another baby, and I am mommy to her, Kim is being called "Mim", and therefore we will have "Meena's and Mim's day" on father's day and "Momma's and Mommy's" day on mother's day.

as there is distinction between fem and masc, there is also disctinction between mothers and fathers.... but i think there should be a family day !

I'm not a same sex parent so I hope you don't mind me butting in with an idea?

Mother's Day in the UK is a different date to Mother's Day in the US (and a lot of other countries for that matter) ... so why not have an 'official' Mother's Day each? ... then you both get a chance to spoil and be spoiled

The same Works for Father's Day too
