Abolish Fathers Day

Everybody claims I have ulterior motives when I call bullshit on Valentine’s Day. Well I guess today’s the day I can bitch without being called cheap. I don’t need a card or another T shirt Or a mug to know I’m a dad. I know. My checking account balance screams “multiple dependents” at me every day. Hallmark Hollidays make me angry for some reason. I I feel manipulated. It’s all made up. It’s stupid. Let’s abolish all the made up, bullshit holidays, including Father’s Day. It is time to shed this phony, emotionally needy tradition.

Also: Happy Father’s Day.

👍 I’m with you 👍

I agree ..all a bunch of horseshit

U absolutely right
Every day should be father's and mother day for people who love their children and due best for them.

Ah, my people. I knew I came to the right place. Let this be the start of the movement.

"A card? Cards are for birthdays. Save your money and get me beer for Father's Day." - Johnny

I get ya, but I say move it to ski season.

"Dad... what do you want for father's day....?"

"Um YEA I want to go SKIING."

Works GREAT on my birthday in January.

Family almost totally forgot it today, they are off to the shore for a week. Mentioned it on the way out the door.  That's a huge bonus, because let's face it VALENTINES is the worst of all, and anything I can do to take the pressure off that....

Dude, you can’t bargain with Hallmark.

Here's another yeah for axing these holidays. The worst one is grandparents day. Aren't they already covered under Mother & Fathers Days? And I'm going to be a grandparent soon. I don't need a day for that. I might change my mind if they made those days weekdays and I got those days off.
What's next, Dogs Day?

National Dog Appreciation Day is August 26th

Does Hallmark have cards to send to your dog? I bet those people walking their dogs in strollers would send their dogs a card,

I don’t know about that. It may be a just a FB holiday

I played golf today and one of the guys in our group had his 15 year old kid be his caddy. Thought that was pretty nifty.. It was hot.

I don’t need a card or a gift. If I need something I’ll buy it
Today My son and I played golf and had lunch
It was a good day
The one thing I’ve done that I’m the most proud of is is being a good dad and raising a good kid
I enjoy Fathers Day and it is not a commercial thing for me

I concur. I feel lucky in that my wife and I have agreed to no presents. Not on father's day mother's day, Valentine's day, Xmas and so on. It's just one more thing you have to do. If we want something we get it, if I want to get her something then I do, I don't need a special day to do any of that.

My wife and I have the same basic agreement...No gifts on any holidays..she pays the credit card bill anyway..

That's the hot setup.

It was her idea
