Is father's day the least celebrated holiday?

[twinson]

Do you feel the same with me? I think that Father's day is the least celebrated holiday when we compare it with Mother's day. Is it something related to the value of their roles or something else?

[sage2021]

Hallmark should come out with NO FATHER'S DAY cards and have the cards tell their absent father how their life was without them.
I always hated in elementary school they would force you to make little glittery cards with glue and pasted glitter that the card said Happy Father's Day when my father abandoned me when I was 4. So, what to do with a Father's Day card you made at school but no one to give it to when you got home that. You end up a very sad little girl with lots of questions.

[sage2021]

Yes, I would say it is the least celebrated holiday and it probably has a lot to do with having so many absentee father's. Holiday - huh!

[Xaxztjs]

There are lots of single fathers too. Just because you didn't grow up with a father (sorry that happened) doesn't mean you should act like that. fathers day should really be honored more. The same as mother's day. Fathers are important too. Men care and work very hard for their children more than you may realize.

@Xaxztjs
I guess you had a good Dad and maybe you are too.
This don't give you the right to tell me not to "Act like that". Act like what?
Obviously you live a sheltered life and you have the Leave It To Beaver life where everything is great.
They should have both good and bad Father's Day cards.

There are lots of good and lots of bad…nothing we can change about that.
As I get older…. I look back to my belated “father”, he had his reasons to be what he was.
I remember my brother said to my father…I will treat you the same why you treated your dad…
My brother didn’t do that…none of us 4 siblings treated our dad terrible when he was still alive.
We all turned out to be the opposite and not willing to be like him.

My daughter…almost just like her dad…angry, a narcissist, moody, mean, abusive…
I didn’t want that. I got mad for 2 years…I woke up and decided to not be that person who I don’t like…
After changing myself…I created a dynamic where I worked very very hard to teach my two children to change our family legacy….

I believe…we all have the power to make changes and not live by the rotten seeds they planned.

I hope you can forgive your “father” and those boys who never had a dad/mom to raise them to be a man…be that strong woman to make the changes you want.

Xoxo

I don't know. I don't think it's related to the value of their roles, because I think my dad is one of the best people on earth. Sure we argue and bicker more than my mum and I, but that doesn't mean I appreciate him even less.

Father's day and mother's day, I never go all out really for my parents for the same reason. Mothers day always falls on, or near my mother's birthday, and fathers day is about 2 weeks before my dad's birthday.

i think the reason is commercial. Fathers are a lot less obsessed with getting presents/flowers and crap for their "special day", while women constantly want men to buy them shit. So big business really works overtime to pump up that "special day" for women because they know they'll sell lots of stuff for it.

It really has nothing to do with men being less appreciated by anyone but big business.

Often, I celebrate it more because excluding his varied -isms we are quite similar

Couple of cigars, crack open a decent bottle and cook up a nice meal

[catiecatie]

I celebrate it with my dad. We go shoot bow together. He typically buys the food while I pay for the score cards, which are a total of $60. There are plenty of holidays that’s are least celebrated. Take Flag day or even donut day. Numerous others.

As a friend of mine likes to say, on Mother's Day we do what Mom wants to do.
On Father's Day, we do what Mom wants to do.

Does that statement say anything about Father's Day?

[Jazzy54]

Yes, I agree. Father’s Day doesn’t get as much fanfare as Mother’s Day. This mostly has to do with the fact that there are many fatherless households and/or many men don’t claim their children and are, therefore, deadbeats.

[BobbieBoy666]

This Father's Day will be my first one without him. 💔🖤

This past April he past away at the age of 79

[Jazzy54]

So sorry for your loss. 😔💔

[BobbieBoy666]

@Jazzy54
Thank you. 💞

[ElianaS]

My family celebrates it! On Father’s Day, I celebrate and appreciate my Grandfather. I’ll try to get my grandfather a nice gift and I’ll try to make him some dessert.

[Anonymous]

Actually I’ve heard Valentine’s Day is the least celebrated but in general I disagree with you. If we’re speaking from personal experiences I’ve never known Father’s Day to receive any less attention or be any less important than Mother’s Day.

[mobiusforniner]

Yes. Lets admit it, girls kind of suck at thoughtful gift giving. I have other interests beyond BBQ grills, tools and sex.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I think it deserves bigger celebration. My father is the best person.

[nastyb]

Because plenty of fathers abandon their kids. It happens way more than you think. And shhh... nobody ever talks about it

[DizzyDesii]

I dont really celebrate anything other than my bday and Christmas so 🤷‍♀️

[alice55]

In France both are celebrated the same, not one is more important than the others.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It's one of the least celebrated, but I think the very least clebrated is probably one that most people don't even know about.

[exitseven]

Yes, even donut day gets more recognition. I do not even think about it anymore.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I think it is. I think because mothers brings us into this world so they get celebrated more than dads.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I þink International Men’s Day on 19 November is celebrated even less.

[Anonymous]

Father's Day definitely isn't as respected as Mother's Day.

[Anonymous]

Seems like it , men just get treated worse it seems

[sunflower00]

In my experience they are really the same

[Sexiestjohnson]

Fathers are not complaining.

[Wise4myage]

When did it become a holiday?

[Christoff92]

Yes it is. That's my opinion

[KrakenAttackin]

No one cares about men, and we know it.

[Anonymous]

People don't care about men.

[BLP11520]

Dad’s don’t care as much about it

[thedaffodils]

It is!
