Er no way! That's illogical. And insulting to you and to him.

Because you are not a "full time mother?" Hmm

Err no, he's not a mother.

He'll get Father's Day. Because he's, like, a father!

Rubbish. Regardless of him being a SAHD you gave birth to your dc!
PIL are talking bollocks.
Enjoy your day.

In fairness to PIL, it was Grandma-in-law who suggested it.

How odd, he has Father's Day.

Sounds like Grandma-in-law is having a little dig. She's old, smile, nod, ignore.

It depends if you are seeing it as the american commercialised mothers day, or the original Christian mothering Sunday.
The traditional mothering Sunday was for those working in service (servants) to go home to their mother church with their family, so both men and women went mothering.

Totally ridiculous of course you get Mother's Day.
Grandma is old and foolish.

Grandma in law is out of line.

Mothers day is for Mothers, Fathers day is for fathers.

Grandparents day is just made up load of bollocks. The end

Wow that's a slap in the face. Just because an old lady came up with it does not absolve your ILs for repeating it.

What did you reply?
