The rough carpet like fabric rubs against his sweaty back as he tosses and turns. No matter how hard he tries or what position you twist your body, you can’t find that one spot capable of putting you to sleep. But the worst thing about your situation is that in the room right next you lies your beautiful wife in a big fluffy bed that after years of use, it has formed perfectly to fit your body.

Yep dads in the “doghouse again” and your mom sleeps soundly and comfortably knowing her dear husband is tossing and turning on the couch. What’s the occasion you ask? Valentines Day! I myself have never been married or thank God have ever been in the Doghouse but from what I have observed. There are different kinds of Dog Houses. The one I described was one of the less common ones, which happens more on TV than in real marriages. In real life a doghouse is like the wind you don’t see it,

but you certainly see the effects. Your dad will start doing crazy unusual things like cooking and cleaning and compliment your mom way more than usual.

But I guess the question that still remains is that why would your mother torment the one she loved while also tormenting herself to some extent. The main reasons are either forgetting to get a gift completely or getting her something ridiculous. There are also other many other things a dad could do to get in the dog house but are to miscellaneous to point out and because we are strictly talking about valentines day. But a word of advice for you dads looking for a gift that will keep you out of the dog house, if its something that you want don’t, I repeat do not get it for her. So please men for the sake of masculinity stay out of the dog house and keep your Valentine happy this Valentines day!
