To expect DH to be home for father's day

[doeeyed]

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.

fathers day doesn't prove a thing.

if he's a good father in general, all year round then this one day doesnt make a difference.

i would love for my dd's dad to even meet her once, but in her three years this hasn't happened yet.

its commercial crap. it means nothing. your kids have a loving father

Agree with the commercial crap. Why not have a special day for him when he gets back? Why does it have to be on Fathers Day? If your dh isn't bothered and your kids aren't bothered then neither should you be.

Choose your own special days, let the kids make him pictures and things, cook his favourite meal etc. Then maybe he'll start turning down these business trips because he'll realise what he's missing at home!

3 trips in 3 weeks is a bit excessive - are they all days or stopovers? Perhaps have a word about his family missing him?
