OT: mother's day for your wives

[Ellsworth]

no clue what to get my wife this year. the spa gift certificates are getting old. was thinking about replacing all her pots & pans with a new set from bed bath and beyond or something.

is that a terrible idea or have you guys ever had success with something that pathetic?

a "get out of one thunder-jab free" card?

I'm watching this thread. this is my wife's first mother's day. can't mess it up. c'mon people.

[Ellsworth]

1st mother's day you gotta come correct man.

Mani/Pedi and a minimum $150 spa gift certificate. Also, get a picture of her and your child in a 'first mothers day' frame or something. Breakfast/brunch made by you is always a huge thumbs up too.

The bitches eat that shit up.

Totally lame, but one of those charm bracelets went over well for me. You let the kids pick out the charms to give to her, instant success.

Yeah, no pressure, but you better not fuck this up.

terrible idea

Unless your wife is a professional cook.

A day/weekend away from the kid(s) is always a winner

What about spray painting your names on the water tower again? It's probably faded from the last time you did it in '01.

Buy her lawn care service for a year.

Are you with me? Make this day about you.

[Ellsworth]

she's got 4 days worth of day spa vouchers rotting in a drawer.

this is something she has wanted to do herself for a long time but never got around to it. also taking her to this awesome place we go for brunch with the kids.

I could get her a room at this real shit hole motel up US1, about 30 miles from raleigh. There's a pawn shop in the adjacent lot and you can rent rooms hourly. hmmmmmmmm

A winner for who?

You're so geigh! Geezus God, let's try turning this day into a positive for him.

I always figured you for the guy who buys his wife the t-shirt and a dildo in that joke.

Do something to make her life easier and less stressful

Get someone to come in and clean the house top to bottom. Make her a nice dinner at home with some wine (and not 2 buck Chuck) and have some fresh flowers on the table. Get rid of the kids for a little while. All of this spa day sh*t is too stressful for women. They have to PREPARE to do a spa day (shave/wax/etc).

Ells should set up a romantic hilltop view of the trailer park

with his & her's washtubs, like a Cialis commercial.

[Drama Queen]

Her life would be less stressful

if he went away for the weekend.

Go to Wrightsville Beach, Ells. Get the fuck out of there.
