Every Mother’s Day, there are dozens of threads started by women who feel their husband ruined their day by not coordinating gifts from children/arranging anything to mark the day.

If you’re in that boat, what did Father’s Day look like today, and why?

Isn't it usually the case that the woman will repeatedly go all out for these men and get 0 in response?

He got a FaceTime. From far far away.

because for Mother’s Day he didn’t even get me a card and that was the final straw in a terrible relationship so we split up. I have had a wonderful weekend with my child instead 😊

Apparently, but the standard response on Mother’s Day threads seems to be “please treat him the same on Father’s Day” so I’m wondering how many follow through.

Good for you!

Hope you and your child are somewhere fabulous.
