Nursery did nothing for Father's Day

Would it/does it bother you if your child's nursery or school made a fuss over Mother's Day but ignored Father's Day?

Mine has and I feel a bit Confused over it. The nursery usually does every holiday/event going but have not bothered with this (I got a DS made candle holder and a card for mother's day).

I don't know if it matters but there at pick up/drop off it's usually 50/50 mums and dads.

Is this normal for nurseries/schools? When I was at school when the wheel was all the rage we always did both. DS is my eldest so I'm just wondering if this is normal nowadays?

The Christian celebration is Mothering Sunday. Not Mothers' Day, which is a commercial invention to sell expensive cards and other tat. Not the same thing.

When DD was at nursery they acknowledged both. When it came to Fathers Day, they asked me before hand if there was another male figure in her life that she could make a card for as her father isn't in her life. I think it's a case of acknowledge both or acknowledge neither.
