AIBU that Mothers Day is more significant than Fathers Day? My husband is ignoring Mothers Day because I ignored Fathers Day. Is he being a dick or am I for thinking he is?

Surely mothers day is about acknowledging the unpaid extra work that women do, whereas fathers day is just made up to sell cards or whatever?

Vote yes, they're equivalent and IBU
Vote no, mothers day trumps fathers day

DH and I don't bother with Valentine's Day, but the whole family makes an effort for Mother's and Father's Days. Cards, little gifts, frequently presented cuppas, a favourite meal cooked by the DC and the parent not being spoiled.

But we like each other and treat each other with respect and affection all year round...
