Fathers Day with no DSDs

[Eskimo16]

I have two DSDs (11,17yrs) and DD 8months, I've known DSDs for 4 years now. DSD live overseas but visit us every holidays, dad has regular and good contact and their mum is great with drop offs at airport etc. The girls love their baby sister and she's really added to the family bond.

It's father's day here soon and unfortunately DSDs won't be with their dad but DD will. How do I make it feel nice for my DSD, I am worried they will feel sad because DD gets ger dad but they don't. This is the first time I've had this conflict, DD has not existed before on Fathers Day. DSDs usually text and sometimes bring a card, DH will call them too.

Should I text DSDs and tell them I have a gift from all 3 of them for dad and give it on Fathers day with them on the phone or should I suggest to DH we celebrate fathers day when they are here (a month after father's day?) and text DSDs the plan and idea for the present?

I want to do the month later thing, we usually do that with bdays when we aren't together. But would it be too much? Do you think DSD might be put off? My DH is obviously not MY dad so I dont want to be overbearing or set a precedent that we need to give actual gifts...

Anyone?

Is it Father's Day in the country they are in?

[beingsunny]

They really ought to be sending a card/gift at that age...

Sorry, can't really follow who's who - is "dad" the same person as DH?

Many dad's aren't that fussed about cards and gifts (YMMV) but a phone call would probably be appreciated. It's Father's Day though, not DSD's Day, so get them to call him perhaps?

Suggest just a card "from" baby DD. Your DSDs and DH should just do whatever they usually do when this has arisen before. These kind of (card company) days are different in different countries anyway, and DC are unlikely to see them as a big deal.

I dont think its a big issue but l wouldnt be putting up stuff on facebook saying oh dh had a wonderful fathers day with his little girl. Otger than that its up to sds what tgey want to do for their dad. All souns nice and happy so wouldnt overthink.

Thanks everyone, I think I was overthinking it, I'll let the girls do what they usually do and wont make bigger deal out of it.
Sorry Scruffy yes my DH is dad to DD and DSDs, sorry it was confusing. Thanks for the advice!
