    Your making that age old mistake of doing too much for people .

    This year less food and shelter and more wild animals . You can’t continue doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results .

    How about a motorbike bike / sports car / young blonde . Seems like a lot of work at your / my age .

    How old are the kids . I loved / and still do the old way in Ireland that when you got to 12 / 13 you got money for clothes at christmas ( and not too much ) and when you got to 16 / 17 birthday/ christmas presents came to an end because you were an adult . A great coming of age and who doesn’t want to come of age ?

    For those fathers who got recognition today, congratulations. And mothers who raised kids alone, like mine RIP, congratulations too. And for those who were forgotten, at least you know you did your best for your kids. Big hugs to those who weren't recognised. I'm a parent, although not a father. Come to think of it, my brood didn't remember their dad today either. Better give them a prod. Fathers are special. But for those who had a troubled relationship with their fathers, big hugs to you too. Life is such an interesting experience. So different for each and every one of us. Different families have different dynamics. Isn't that true?

    Thats it bud, you teach them some of life's real life lessons like perpetuating anger and only give to receive.
    Giving human beings stuff for nothing never brings good result .

    The two really Spoilt People that I know have lived two very self destructive lives .

    It has been a disaster for themselves and for anyone around them .

    Mother's day was around long before Hallmark
    It goes back to the days of the big houses having a designated day allowing the service staff to visit their Mothers

    Yes but Irish mother’s day isn’t the same date as the American one. Father’s Day is. So that was imported.

    This thread is taking longer than usual to descend into rants about feminism.

    Do your kids do stuff for mothers' day op?

    Happy father's day to all the amazing Dads out there who are selfless, loving and always a safe harbour in a storm!

    You are doing an amazing job, even if no one has made you breakfast in bed today.

    Ah he's already got them covered....

    Birthday: shelter

    Christmas: food

    Just because not all heroes wear capes: doesn't let wild animals kill his kids.

    Someone get that man a jambon and a can of coke already!

    They didn't recognise your b8rthday nor did they recognise fathers day
    Sounds like you raised a thoughtless self involved brood of kids there.

    It's great.

    My lot have persuaded me to take them out for lunch and pay for it. They seem to be particularly enjoying the expensive array of desserts.

    That reminds me. I need to wish my dead father a happy fathers day on Twitter and as many other social media sites as possible for complete strangers to read. The fact that my father could barely operate a remote control let alone a computer and wouldn't even read it if he were alive is what will make this heartfelt gesture even more meaningful.

    Well - its cheaper that putting a bunch of flowers on a grave to wilt although less healthy and outdoorsy. Although perhaps your Dad may have beeen reincarnated as an IT geek or be having the last laugh on a cloud playing XBox with Jesus.

    Yes,but they feel entitled to Father's Day too. It's the annual attempt to diminish a father's role in the family unit.
