To expect DH to be home for father's day

DH has offered to work on father's day although he did'nt realise at the time it was father's day.

I pointed this out to him and his boss has said if it is a problem he does'nt need to work.

DH has just come home and said
"Well father's day is just commercial rubbish anyway"

So he is working.

DS and DD are 5 and 4 so they won't know the difference,but I feel miffed that he choose to work.

Beraing in mind he has been away for 3 business trips over 3 weeks recently.

It personally wouldn't bother me if my hubbie was away for fathers day. I only see him about 4-8 days a month anyway as he works away from home so am used to it. You could always postpone it to another day and have a nice day another time and use it as a reason to make sure the nice day happens.

dp away partying with his mates in Helsinki for the entire weekend.

He says "father's day just commercialised crap anyway"

so not going to bother getting them to make him a card or buy him a present or anything.

We'll do something fun without him instead
