Mine was mostly pretty low-key, which is how I like it. I got some small gifts from my wife and daughter, including a 7oz hammer with a colorfully painted handle. I actually really liked that. For dinner my mother-in-law took us out to an expensive steakhouse, where I had a wonderful ribeye, but I don’t think it was worth the price. I’m grateful and appreciative, but I think it was a little too much. I think that she and/or my father-in-law had a gift card, so it made sense for them. Besides all that, I somehow hardly had to put up with any complaints, even from my ever opinionated four-year-old.

I would have enjoyed the day a lot more if I didn’t have to worry about work today.

    Was staying at a cabin with my wife and kid. We went hiking. Was literally 5 foot into the hike… Wife fell and hurt her knee pretty bad because she landed on a large sharp rock. Went straight to urgent care for staples and stitches… 😂 But she’s tough and we actually took the kiddo to the lake and I got in the freezing cold water and swam because the kiddo insisted. Ate some Korean bulgogi style tacos for dinner and I got a Father’s Day shirt.

      Glad you were able to turn it around, but I feel really bad for your wife!
