Yes, thank God. Fathers day gets all the attention dad's want it to have. Just let me watch the us open and take a nap.
Yes and it's because men don't give a **** if you don't go all out or need to get flowers. I know in our house, they're treated pretty differently
Unfortunately a lot of fathers aren't in their kid's lives, at least not full time, whether by choice or by divorce. That doesn't mean mothers are perfect because there are plenty of bad ones out there as well, but mothers tend to get the benefit of the doubt regardless. That is why I believe they make such a big deal out of Mother's Day and barely mention Father's Day. I think the only mention I have seen on TV for Father's Day is a home improvement store commercial for tools.
Plus with Father's Day in the Summer, it doesn't get built up by the elementary schools. You don't have kids bringing home homemade cards and projects like Mother's Day. Also everyone tends to be busy doing things in the Summer like vacations and weekend trips to theme parks. If they want to make a bigger deal out of Father's Day, then it would be better served having it in a different month not in the Summer, but you know that isn't going to change.

Wait to say it the pc way. It's all races. I don't have kids but the day I do they will be priority number 1. I don't care if I have to work mcds they will have what they need. As for Mother's Day, your mama never abandons you. She's there no matter what which is why it's such important day. Fatherless day is special, but Mother's Day is a little more important. No offense to Father's Day though

There are scores of useless, selfish, self-centered women who laid down, got penetrated, had an egg fertilized and spawned offspring who abandoned their kids. There are some who went through mid-life crises and decided that being a mother wasn't fun and didn't garner them enough attention so they bolted.
But, there are more women who hang in there and take car of their kids than there are men who hang in there and take care of their kids. However, as someone who has tried to adopt in vain, there are far too many people who don't appreciate being a mother or a father. It's galling to be perfectly honest.
As for the holiday difference? Women feel neglected and feel that they're taken for granted and make those feelings widely known. Men don't share their feelings.* (I'm using statistical norms here, some men share feelings, some women don't feel that way, etc.) Women will give hints and ask for all kinds of stuff. Men won't for the most part. So commercialism favors women.
Our dogs give my wife a card and gift for Mother's Day. Why? Because I love her and despite the fact that we can't have kids and the adoption attempts have been dumpster fires I still want her to get something so she doesn't "lag behind" her friends. I don't care if "the dogs" give me anything for Father's Day.
I agree with most of that, my point was that wives that are mothers expect a lot from their husbands on MD and husbands just want a quiet day on FD.
I think that in general, dads are easier to please. In my case I've always told my daughters that I dont really want or need gifts, or even a card. Just a little quality time doing something I enjoy and I'll be happy. So tomorrow we're taking out the kayaks and covering about a six mile stretch of the Little Miami River. Weather looks perfect for it. Should be a great day.
Off topic, but have you guys gone through foster. I have 3 different friends that within the past year here in KY have had anywhere from infants to 1 year olds placed with them and have adopted them within a year. One came straight from the hospital into foster. Seems to be an "easier" way vs. the straight through adoption process that I know many have tried and failed.
Other than the fact that my wife and I don't have dogs, this is exactly my feelings and experience with it all.
Women like greeting cards and flowers. Sounds like a business opportunity for Hallmark and the floral industry.
Men could care less about cards and flowers.
Men like beer. If Budweiser got behind Father's Day with " Buy your dad a 6-pack" maybe this Father's Day thing could take off.

We have been through foster training. But they stressed parents over kids so strongly that we just couldn't get past it. Everything was "reunification of the family". I get it, but I think the child's best interest should be the focus.
All together now... "OP is projecting!"
It's just not a paddock post until someone tells someone else they are projecting insecurities.
What about the single mothers that try to capitalize on both MD and FD?
Like those cants who spend all their time trying to poison their kids minds against the father all while asking for more money than the alreadys pays, on time, every month in child support when she makes 6 figures but blows it on drug addled loser boyfriends.
Yeah I mean you CJ. Oops, didn't mean to type that. Hope karma is as big a ***** as you are when it pays you back for the you treated him.
Father's day is just another summer time day for me. We drink beer in the pool and watch golf on the TV. Either grill out or go out for food. And I don't have to buy a gift or card for that dam matter. I buy a big ole bottle of Maker's Mark and we all enjoy it.
I've always wondered what Will Farell is thinking. You've got a movie where king kills father, screws mother, and his name is Eatapuss.
Obviously not taking advantage of the situation.
I love Father's Day. It reminds me how thankful I am to not have any children.
I used to be that way.
Man.
My motto to parents was "you love children, I eat children".
Good ole days. Free weights and unhooked tang.
I think it's pretty obvious by the existence of Valentine's Day, the normal celebration of wedding anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc, that women need special treatment and recognition. It is what it is as they say. I mean have you ever really thought about why it is the man's job to make Valentine's Day and your anniversary special? The man got married that day too, he loves his girl too?
Ummm, its because females need attention and gifts and recognition, and men don't care about that dumb stuff. Thought this was pretty well known and obvious? I mean are you actually curious why a day that is centered around a female involves more hype, gifts, and commotion than one centered around men? Have you ever been around a woman?
My dad was a tee-totaller. Alcohol tore his stomach up. But my uncles could probably drink a brewery dry given enough time...a mere 6-pack would be 'priming the pump' as far as they were concerned!
It boils down to this... you will never see a single dad make this claim. They're too busy just getting **** done and don't need the credit unless it's to appease a judge in a custody battle. This meme exemplifies the attention, justification and acceptance all women need for any and all things in their lives.LOL.
