I don't expect anything because I had fun becoming a Father but I usually get some nice stuff from the wife and kids. It's even better now that the kids are through college and making bank but they have all been special to me.
Funny story - a few years back my wife bought me a 45 qt Yeti and then packed it with a bunch of other gifts (shoes, shirts, shorts, fishing gear, jerky/candy, etc.). I had always told her that I would never buy a Yeti for myself because they were overpriced and I am cheap with certain things. She said she got it because I "work hard", "deserved it", yada yada yada. Nice gesture but I was still paying for it so I took it back to Academy and got my $350 back and bought their Magellan one which was very similar for $199.00 and then bought me $150 worth of fishing gear with the difference. I then took the Yeti sticker and put it on the Magellan and she still thinks it's the Yeti she had bought.

My best fathers day started off as the worst.
Wife told me she was pregnant again...had a positive stick and everything. She knew I would be upset, but acted like "isn't this the best fathers day news ever". For the first time ever I had hoped that she had cheated on me so there was hope it wasn't mine.
We had just gotten our second child out of diapers and life was getting good. I cried. Man tears. The thought of the chaos, worries, sleeplessness, and doctor bills that come with babies...and more diapers and formula...dear lord, all of the money we had just freed up...all of the hopes, goals, and ambitions we'd been planning on...gone. At least for a couple more years.
How would I ever get her back to work. She's going to make a career out of this stay at home shopper mom thing.
I need a vasectomy...but months ago. Vomiting ensued. I think this was the only time in my life I've ever experienced true depression.
That's when she told me it was a joke...I cried more. Joy tears. I think this is what triggered a kidney stone that would essentially cripple me over the next few days. It was my personal record. Over a cm. 12 mm to be exact.
My gift? To appreciate what I have. And Rangers tickets for my son, my dad, and myself weren't bad either.
I'm still putting off the vasectomy, but this reminded me I should get that done.

My wife's birthday is June 19. I'm pretty lucky if I get a "Sup?" for Father's Day. Last year, FD was on the 19th. I got to take my wife out for dinner.

My son was born in Father's Day. Took his first solo steps the following year on Father's Day. Pretty difficult to top that.

Time with my son is the best gift. We went crappie fishing last Fathers Day. When he was about 4, Academy gave a father of the year award. He and his mom nominated me and my wife wrote an essay. I was named father of the year at the Conroe Academy and won a $150 Academy gift card. That was a pretty special Fathers Day.

Hearing the laughter and voices of our kids all visiting at the same time. Love to just sit back and listen to them interact and cut up with each other. Beautiful sounds right there.

Years ago, I was fishing an event on Toledo Bend on Fathers Day...told my wife I didn't have good practice and would be home quick after weigh in. Tournament day caught good sack for second place finish and great check, but the highlight was my wife surprised me and drove from Tyler to Cypress Bend just so the kids 9 and 5 could see me weigh in.
After taking pics of some of my bigs with Mr Ed from the Lakecaster, I walked up on stage to hear my son in the crowd..."my daddy has got this big ones!!" He was so excited he ran up on stage with me as everyone was clapping and tried to help me hold up my two big ones, LOL Had many other great weigh in days, but none that will ever top this
Blessed to have my wife and my kids with me that Fathers Day
