No Fathers Day Treat For Me

[ZoddyZod]

I have just been stone-walled on the subject of moving my old 3ft back into the house. Tried to play the "fathers day treat?" card but it was rejected fiercely.

.......I had a list of potential old and new world cichlids written down and everything!

Anyone else suffered fish dissapointment this weekend?

No Father's Day treat for me either - I'm in Cairo! (which is not my usual abode...)

not exactly the same thing but I offered to make my Dad a special Sunday roast but he said no!!!!

Put your foot down, it's Daddy's Day for Heaven's sake! It's not like you were asking for some mammoth tank.

In fact you should've asked for a 150 gallon tank and when she said no you "settle" for the one you wanted all along.

I'm 45 years old and married for over 15 years (I seriously don't know how long anymore but neither does she) and I didn't make it this far without being crafty.

I'm planning to use this same trick with my dad. I'm going to say I want a 300L and then "settle" for a 180l (which I already have picked out)

It's not really "evil" because she does the same thing to me to get what she wants! Go for it & here's hoping you get the tank you want. Who knows, he may even say yes to the bigger one!

Give her your card and send her on a shopping spree. When she comes back she can't say no to a fully set up tank.

Dangerous, but she will be happy, he will be happy. Win win!

Hmm depends upon how much the good lady spends.

My son got me the output regulator valve thing for my canister filter & the wife got me a glently used light fixture for my 20 gallon sand.

My hubby gets homemade sausage gravy for breakfast {something I only make on holidays like Christmas} and a dinner out a his fav. restaurant. Breaking our healthy diet twice in one day His heart is in his stomach, I would have asked for fish tanks.

I offered to buy my dad a tank, but he sadly declined my offer haha
