Three teenagers. All basically forgot. Two I reminded during the morning which ended up in an argument about something unrelated. I went out and came back to find hastily written card my wife had bought before with a wrapped up "present" - a fucking chocolate orange from the cupboard with my wife smiling saying see they didn't forget. Third child hasn't said a word all day despite being in the car with her when Fathers Day mentioned on the radio. For dinner I got instant noodles made by my wife. Drowning my sorrows with red wine I bought myself. Meanwhile Facebook awash with friends posting pictures of lovely messages in cards, loads of presents, nice dinners etc. Feeling thoroughly crap and unappreciated.

PS:. Teens need to be taught empathy.

What do you do for your wife on Mother's Day? The answer to that is probably more telling.

IL see your father's Day, and raise you. Mine started at 2am with police knocking on my door, saying they had reports of my wife wanting to kill herself. FFS. My wife wasn't even in the house. She stays at a mates.

Next day she comes home (after I get 3 hours sleep) and tells me she was to separate.

Happy father's Day mate
