It's Father's Day! Where's my cake?
Every year, it's the same thing when Father's Day rolls around. The first thought in my head comes from the 1982 movie, "Creepshow" and it's just like the quote: "It's Father's Day! Where's my cake?"
And every year, I wait. And I wait. And I wait some more, for at least one of my sons to wish me a happy Father's Day. I don't really want a cake or a gift of any kind. I just want to hear the words. Last year, my older son was more than a day late. My younger son, even though he lives with me, was a day late. This year, I haven't heard from my older son and my younger son only said it when he saw some search results on my screen that included "Father's Day".
Why is that they ALWAYS remember Mother's Day, but always forget about Father's Day until someone or something reminds them of it? Don't get me wrong. I'm not jealous of their mother. Wait. Yes, I am. I'm extremely jealous.

Well, from my prospective, father day and mother day are business day initiated by business companies to get more dollars… Like the grand mother day, isn't it?

No. Business latched onto the holidays, just like Christmas, to make the bucks but the holidays have been around much longer than they have.
I do get wished a happy father's day, but this year, as with previous years, when I get a present I end up spending more on a present for the family! One year I got a DS Lite as my present ad then, on the same day, bought a DS Lite for my daughter and one for my partner.
Happy Father's Day to all Dads

I was wished a "Happy Fathers Day" by one of my co-workers. While I am old enough to be her father I don't think that I actually am. Do ya think she might be lookin' for her daddy or just someone to play the role?

I wouldn't take it personally, dads are always the unsung heros.
it could be for business stimulation purposes, but its still nice to be able to celebrate your mom and dad once a year. after all, they had to put up with you for at least 18 years o_o
Women are women and enjoy receiving gifts and flowers which are simple gifts for children to get for their mother. It is quite different with men because they don't care too much for flowers and balloons. The problem could possibly be that children feel it is easier to shop for their mothers than their fathers.
Yes, it's true that fathers are unsung heroes. But if we love them we need to show our affection towards them. It's also true that we do not need a particular occasion to show our love but, when there is a "father's day", we must take this occasion full of opportunity to show our care and respect our father expect from us. We should make this day special occasion.
Its because women make such a big deal of things. The heavens would come down if they forgot Mother's Day!

Just remember that if they are late they can still make it up on August 8th. In Taiwan (and many other chinese speaking countries), father's day is also August 8th. or 08/08/XXXX. It's a phonetic thing, since 8 is pronounced "bah", and month 8, day 8 is therefore "bah bah", which is how you say dad. It's similar to "papa" in other parts other world.
