My wife did the same type thing. Nothing from her to me for fathers day. I wanted to say something about it but decided to work it the way we have all read in DR/DB, don't ask a question that might give you an answer you don't want to hear. I left it alone. Had a great day with my kids and in-laws.

It was also my D10's birthday. Got home late from in-laws, W said she was going to go get ice cream so we could still do something special for D10, (we had a party for her Friday, but you know how kids are, Sunday was her actual b-day). Had ice cream, sang happy birthday and had a great time.

Got the kids in bed, I was making my bed on the sofa when I decided to check my e-mail. W had sent a commented in myspace, Happy Father's Day.

I'm glad I left it alone. Is it the same as other years? Not even close. In the past there were presents, nice cards with hand written letters inside. That was then, this is now. Things are different now, that's okay.

So maybe the lesson here is, don't ask. Leave it alone and see how it plays out. Maybe the come around and maybe they don't. Either way, I was prepared to be fine and thankful for what I did receive.
