Search Results: fathers day gifts

I published a book recently, and I haven't told my dad that it was done, though he knew I'd been working on it. My stepmom suggested that I give him a copy as a Father's Day present, and I thought I'd do that. But now I feel worried. Is it vain to give my dad my book? Like "Here, celebrate MY (probably minor and unexciting, given that I've published before) accomplishment on this day meant for YOU." Like some random book I wrote is supposed to be special or something, I don't know.

What if he doesn't even really give a shit? Like I'd said, I've published before, it's not like this is some awesome milestone, and he doesn't even like the genre I write.

Is this a bad gift idea? Should I just go order something off his Amazon wish list?

My mother and I are at a total cross road on what to do. My step father for over ten years has been without a job for over a year now. I've witnessed his "we're gonna be okay stage" to his current depressive/anger stage. He claims to look for jobs, and sometimes he does, but most of the day he sleeps or plays games. He claim to be constantly sick, but won't get help for his "illnesses." He spends real money on these games (100$ or more) and all these things we don't need, and takes everything out on us when we dont "appreciate" his "gifts." He critiques everyone, but won't acknowledge his own flaws unless it get him sympathy or a reason to put guilt on others. I love him. I hate him. My mother loves him. My mother hates him. My mom works at a job she hates, and this man won't take anything for offer. I'm working part time at a job that just seriously cut back my hours, and im looking for another part time job to help my mom get by on the small bills. I also have school. Me and my mother try everything to help ourselves get by, and work hard for our time off together. He won't join us or be a part with us anymore, and we're stuck. We dont want lose him, but I certainly won't let my mother baby him the rest of her life. What would you do?

My ex and I had dated for 3 years (9.14.11) and he's enlisted in the Army. He got sent back in the middle of October because he hurt himself badly and he needed to recover. We spent this time together. He got sent back a few weeks later then came back for Christmas leave.

During Christmas things were great and I when to his father's house and cooked everyone dinner. We all exchanged gifts and had a great time. Things got bumpy around New Years.

On New Years Eve, I wanted to go out to a party and watch the ball drop but he wanted to be introvert and stay home. He said, "I don't know those people I just want to stay home with you." I understood that but we did that every single year!

The party was being hosted by his older sisters friends and I didn't know them either so I figured we could get to know people as a couple. I brought this up in conversation and he was still against it. He told me he had something planned for us. That same night (8ish) we watched Netflix movies and cuddled (what we do every year). Around 10pm we argued about why we couldn't do anything different. It lasted all the way till 12 and we didn't kiss or anything (great resolution I know - __-). The took me home and the whole car ride I cried because he said some things that hurt me terribly. I had an anxiety attack as well.

The next day I realized that after the night before we had way more differences than I thought. I tried to suggest things but he wouldn't budge. Then I said if you won't change for the benefit of us then you will never change and we'll continue to argue. We broke up the same day. I said I needed space.

He left two days after for basic and we've been writing evers since. We talked on the phone earlier this month but it was brief. I miss him but I'm scared he'll never change. He graduates on the 19th this month and he asked was I coming. Its a 6 hour drive and his parents are coming. I miss him.

My question is should I go and try to resolve some things?
