Father's Day - WDYT?

I am the person on call this weekend for work; this means I have to be able to technically log on at any point Thursday evening, Saturday, or Sunday.  (Although if I get a call on Friday, I am expected to hop on and fix it. LOL  Don't technically get paid for coverage at all on Friday, but it's expected.)  Minimally, I have to log on for ~30-45 minutes, Saturday and Sunday mornings (during general time ranges.  Saturday ~11:00.  Sunday between 9:00-noon.)

We have no plans for Father's Day.  MH said he really doesn't want to have to do anything with his family for Father's Day; his family usually does a cook-out or similar.  Neither do I with my family: a) I'm not close to my father; if anything, I tolerate it and try to respect that he's my dad, but that's about it, b) trying to plan anything with my family is near impossible due to 7 crazy schedules, poor communication, lack of flexibility, etc., c) to do something with my family is at least a round trip drive of 1 1/2 hours.

WWYD?  I feel bad not doing anything with either family.  But what a nightmare to try and do something!

  • I'd just call each of them on Father's day and wish them a Happy Father's day.  If they ask if they are going to see you that day, just say that you are on call (they don't need to know the specificis)

    We're just sending FIL a card.  We were going to do a gift and then Mike realized that the man refuses to acknowledge my bday so he's not going to.

    My dad is in France.  Or England.  I'm not sure which.  Either way, he's not here so I have a couple of extra weeks to figure it out.  Really, his gift should be that he doesn't have to help us move.

    Ok, I went off on a tangent that has nothing to do w/your post.  Sorry. 

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!
