I Don’t Want Any Father’s Day Gifts

Father’s Day is coming up (as if you didn’t know, you sly minx!) and Mom and Buried keeps asking me what I want. I keep telling her that I don’t want any Father’s Day gifts.

Which is true, I don’t want anything. Why not? Well, it’s certainly not because “I have two beautiful kids and an amazing wife and that’s everything I need” because give me a break!

Here are some reasons I don’t want any Father’s Day gifts.

Why I Don’t Want Any Father’s Day Gifts

  • Giving me gifts requires waking me up. DO NOT WAKE ME UP. NOT ON FATHER’S DAY OR EVER AGAIN. I’M NOT JOKING. I’M TIRED. I WISH I WERE IN A COMA RIGHT NOW.
  • I’ll just end up returning everything – we need the money to pay for camp!
  • The only gifts I want are unattainable, unless you have a time machine, a magic debt eraser, or know a free nanny.
  • I’m concerned that if we add one more item to the house, it will explode.
  • I’m just never going to get around using a homebrew kit, honey. I’m sorry. I love beer, but I’m totally fine with the already-made-by-professionals kind.
  • Why bother buying me some cool new gadget when the kids will just break it immediately?
  • I’d rather spend the money on something we can do together; I’ve never been one to take the “father” part out of celebrating “Father’s Day.” But feel free to take the kids out of it, and go to the playground while I nap. Totally your call.
  • I know he means well but I don’t want the kid’s shitty artwork. The family portrait he drew for me last Father’s Day still gives me nightmares!
  • I don’t really care about Father’s Day.

Of course, none of this is to say I won’t accept Father’s Day gifts! You can make the check out to Dad and Buried. Thanks!

  1. Omg yes! Just let me sleep in! My hubs and I do that stuff all the time. It’s seriously the best gift ever!!!! I did buy my hubs a new pair of flip flops cuz it’s summer and he needed them. But that’s it!! No gifts. Just take the kids and leave me in peace and quiet.

  4. My husband isn’t getting anything for fathers day because he spent a LOT of money on Scalextric the last few months. Instead, he can lay out a track and enjoy racing his new cars with the boys and they’ll all have a fine time.
