How do you celebrrate Mother's / Father's Day?

We always acknowledge it but it's certainly not a huge all day deal. For father's day we'd wish him happy father's day, usually go out to eat at a restaurant of his choice, and give a few gifts. The rest of the day would just be a normal Sunday for us. Several summers we've been on vacation for father's day and again we'd give him a few small gifts and eat out while continuing our normal vacation plans. I'm not one that thinks it has to be a whole day celebration.

When our parents were alive, we'd go out of town to see my parents and then stop by on the way back home in late afternoon to see his. We probably only spent a few hours with each. Back then we spent very little time celebrating with just our family as it was more about honoring our mothers.

My parents are close, so we have breakfast with them and usually just take it easy the rest of the day. My ds's bday is on Mother's Day this year so we'll have them and my brother's family over for brunch and cake. We will have his park get together with friends the following weekend. 

we go out for brunch or something with my parents for mothers day, I get my mom a gift

Dh does not get me anything since I am not his mom and the kids will make me a card but since I am not dh mom he will not take the kids anywhere to get me a gift. Thats fine the kids show me in other ways that they love me and I tell them they are the best gift I could get (they really are)

 

 

Fathers day we go all out and dh gets to go to a ball game (tho this year I did say I do not think I would be up for it since I will be 8 months pregnant with #4)

so we will probably do something else or he will go golfing and I will get him an engraved gift of some sort from the girls (they pick it out)

Cards.  That's it.  We don't live close to our parents and we don't make a big deal out of it a home.  I just don't cook on those days and we get take-out.

We usually get together with MIL and SIL for Mother's day. We usually go out to dinner and then hang out with them for the day. Father's day we usually do pretty much the same. My dad is usually working in the fields on Father's day so we don't usually see him on that day.

We don't o anything really.

We don't do anything except say Happy Fathers day on that day. Mothers day we a make a slightly bigger deal because my dads birthday is right around that date if not on it. Even then it is usually having a meal and cake together. I personally couldn't care less if my dh/kids did anything for me. I am just not a big gift giving/receiving/make a fuss kind of person.

We usually just do a cook out. I take my mil her flowers I get her every year.
 

Both are celebrated with breakfast in bed made by the spouse & son.  This year I'm asking for two weeks off from laundry.  I'm just tired of doing it.
