AIBU to wonder how many dhs have had a hissy fit over their dws going to see their own fathers today?

[pictish]

I'll bet it's not many.
What say you?

Is fathers day even a thing?

When did it become such a big thing, i dont remember there even being fathers day when i was a kid.

My sister has been on the phone to say her husband has been moaning that his gift, a shirt, doesn't fit. He's also been saying that he would never buy anything without trying it on. She has reminded him, it's a giftand wouldn't have been much of a surprise if he'd tried it on beforehand. He's not happy and now neither is she.

Ahh the fb dads of the year!
Two of sloppinessest ones were about
dad A who has managed to have a secret child with OW in between his two dds with his wife
Dad B who had an affair all the way through his wifes pregnancy and for the first 3 months their child arrived.
Both the wives know all this but have still made pretty yuck photo montages of them looking wonderful.

I spent the morning with my FIL

Fucking autocorrect sorry

Dh got a text from DS1 in greece saying happy fathers day, a lovely card from DS2 with a promise to take him to the local pub for a beer later and cook us a curry when they back he has spent the day fixing new number plates on my car and replacing a wing mirror as some bastard stole my plates last week and another bastard hit my mirror and totaly smashed it the week before. I luffs him
He will ring his dad in a bit and give me a hug as I have no dad any more.

""I had to prod DH into action as he considers it a 'made-up' occasion. The DC, both male, had to be similarly pointed in the direction of the shops. My own DF is no longer with us, but he always liked Fathers Day and would have been disgruntled to find the day not appropriately marked.""

Reverse the genders and change DF to MIL and the thread would be never ending with LTB.

Well, it's nothing around here today. Because we (meaning ME) mixed up the dates thought Father's Day was LAST Sunday. DH had a lovely time (last Sunday), cards and his favorite breakfast AND lunch. He got to choose the TV programs ALL day.

Thank God Poldark premieres tonite here and not last Sunday as we were watching crap 'hidden camera' and 'painful sporting accident clips' shows until well late at night! Hmmmm, could it have been a freudian slip on my part to mix up the dates?

Three of our four parents are gone (only my Mum remains), but Father's Day (as well as Mother's Day) was always a joint occasion. We celebrated our own parent as well as each other.

Not just Father's Day but my wedding anniversary and DH is off on a work trip abroad. I advised the DC that if they wanted to buy him anything we'd see if anything is half price tomorrow. He's not back for a few more days so pretty sure he won't expect anything. DD and I did him a hand luggage friendly soap bag and contents as a surprise during half term after a glitch on his last work trip when he decided not to check anything in but hadn't packed his toiletries with this plan in mind! So we could argue that was an advance pressie for use on the day.

My dad called in and we gave him a hugely expensive bottle of Canadian ice wine. DH will not be impressed as he wanted to give it to him on his birthday to guarantee he was there when it was opened, but seemed daft to hang on to it. I gave my dad a mango corer and a few mangoes a couple of weeks ago that he was possibly more overwhelmed by as he loves useful kitchen gadgets. He has cancer, luckily in early stages, but makes me think as far as giving him stuff goes I want to give him stuff I think he will like whenever I spot something, not save it away.
