I'll be 4 months pregnant should I get DP a fathers day pressie?

[everythinghippie29]

I've found this:

www.cafepress.com/babycore.155516563

which is just perfect and think it would be sweet to get a daddy to be card. I'm a little hesitant to buy any 'baby' things that early on though.

Am I just being superstitious and is it a cute idea, or just odd?

[LoganMummy]

I would say no, not until baby is here. Lovely idea though!

[ThedementedPenguin]

I think it's odd, and would wait.

[harleyd]

i think its sweet

[Mosschops30]

Weird idea IMHO

You'll have years of buying crappy Father's Day presents so don't start before you have to

[SavoyCabbage]

No as next Father's Day is going to be his first Father's Day. You don't want to take that away.

[PollyPlummer]

I am odd and weird I gave dp a card and a small present - a box of chocolates that I ate too.
I don't see the problem, if you want to do it then do it. I definitely wouldn't worry about being superstitious.

[alienbanana]

Did he get you anything for Mothers day? I know you'd have only been a few weeks.

IMO its nice to wait until the baby is actually here, so he has a proper first fathers day :)

[polkadotsrock]

I did a preparation for birth/early days kit for DH, rescue remedy, red bull. Nothing serious, just a bit of a jokey acknowledgement.

[WandaDoff]

I gave DP a mug that I'd had the scan pic prited on.

[ExcuseTypos]

No, I wouldn't.

[everythinghippie29]

We are both a bit weird if I'm honest! He has chatted to baby already even though he knows it can't hear yet, so thought he might like it.

We didn't know on mother's day so no pressie for me! Doh!

He's been doing lots of work around the house because I've been so poorly with m/s but I guess instead of a fathers day gift I will get him a pressie for HIM just because!

[BadTemperedLadybird]

I got DH a card and a babygrow with "I love my daddy" on it. Soppy, I know. But he loved it and so did I

[shockedballoon]

I wouldn't - but I had a real 'tempting fate' thing about baby stuff all through my pregnancy, which was odd as I don't normally hold any truck with superstitious bunkum!

[BraveLilBear]

I've been debating this too - I'll be 36 weeks then. I didn't get anything off my DP on mother's day, but got a lovely 'for the mum to be' card from his son (nearly 11) and my mum also sent me a mother's day card from the baby - we'd just had 20 week scan and she got it printed on there and signed it from Baby Bear.

I was toying the idea of a cute babygro from Baby for my DP on father's day but don't know if he'd think that sweet or weird (can be hard to call). At least I won't be depriving him of his first father's day if I do - he's been having them for 10 years!

[massagegirl]

I picked up a card the other day as baby due two weeks before Father's Day and then put it back as felt to wierd. But it is totally up to you!

[craftycottontail]

I wouldn't, but then I disagree with the whole being obliged to tell my mum/dad they're great when greetings card companies dictate it. It feels fake!

[Franykins]

IMHO I wouldn't (and won't) I think all this 'Love from bump' people put at the end of cards and stuff a bit weird and personally feel it takes something away from when baby is here. I can see what BraveLilBear is saying though as this is my first but DP 3rd. I will be getting him a card and present from His 2 DS's but won't be adding bump or anything. I am however only 11+2.

Having said that I think its a personal opinion and if you want to do it and think DP will like it then that's up to you

[Choccywoccydodah]

No, I wouldn't. If you do want to do something, just write happy Father's Day on your bump

[StuckOnARollercoaster]

Surely this is a personal choice and if it suits you both to do this kind of thing then just do it!
If you are canvasing opinion then we fall into the definitely not camp, a bit too 'cutesy' for us. I'm due the day before and even if little one is on time or early then I just don't think I'll bother... I'm looking forward to baby being 2 or 3 and getting him or her to paint a splodge for a card or help with making a cake or some buns that will get lovingly presented. (I'm not a good card shop customer!)

[FunnysInLaJardin]

I wouldn't as I would think I was tempting fate. Same as giving the baby a name before it is born

[BraveLilBear]

Choccy that's a fab idea - I may opt for that instead...

[amothersplaceisinthewrong]

No,

[Jollyb]

Only you can say. I wouldn't because I'm superstitious and my DP wouldn't really appreciate it .

[willyoulistentome]

Naah!!!
