2026: Back to the randomness

Is it just me or are they making a way bigger deal out of father's day than they did back in the day? And also... this shit has way surpassed mother's day. You got mom a bundle of flowers and a card and maybe some chocolates but that's pretty much it. Maybe breakfast in bed. These fathers need a whole barbecue and a party and sales and all kinds of shit like it's their birthday.

Congrats bruh... you didn't use a condom and this is your life. You don't get a gold medal for this shit.

Lmao bro what’s going on over there?
 
I never forget, I was like 15-16, close to my son's age now... My father had fucked up his marriage due to his self destructive behavior... And needed somewhere to live.

We had just moved across the street to my grandfather's house because he was sick with Alzheimer's and his wife's family abandoned him with the insurance money after she died.... So we moved in with him, but the landlord at our apartment across the street, let us let the apartment as long as we paid the rent...

Because both these things happened around the same time, my mom worked out and arrangement where he could live across the streetn in our old apartment... He just had to pay the rent.

I initially thought this was a goat arrangement and we could finally establish a healthy father/son relationship while he was across the street during my teenage years....

Flat out... It just didn't go like they. His personality, his arrogance, vs my personality, and my expectations or even entitlement... I'll take that cuz I was a kid.... We just clashed.... It was clash after clash..... There was no way I could be the bigger man for us to be cool.

One of our biggest clashes was on father's day....
.I got him a card, I saw his car outside, I went over to ring his bell... Now I had a key, but I didn't use it, cuz he got mad about that once. But he really came to the door pissed didn't call before I came over ...I literally lived across the street...I was just trying to give him a father's day card.... And bro didn't want to hear it. He was in bed... He didn't plan to get up later, and I was inconsiderate for coming to his house without calling first.

To this day, I don't like people coming to my house without calling, and that was definitely one of the bigger things that pushed us apart... Cuz he never got that card.

I guess they are blowing it up since the last couple of years it has always been shitted on. From angry single mothers or women in horrible relationships putting down Father’s Day every year. There are still good men that are fathers and men that want to be fathers.

Also I think it’s “media from Hollywood” how today’s movies always shit on men and say we don’t need a man and don’t need any to have a normal male and female relationship. Population, people are not having kids or dating women to lead to a family. Also men don’t feel wanted, so no man will celebrate Father’s Day because, he is not a father to begin with since he isn’t dating anyone.

This year is kind of special Father’s Day for my family since my cousin will have his first child. Actually the last 3 years have been like this because my cousins (the men) have been having their first child. In our family it’s our time to have kids, there hasn’t been a new child in my family since 2005, and in 2023 it changed. Now it’s changing again in 2026, we were surprised. As for me, I don’t know if or when I will have a kid.

It is still not bigger than mother's day. Restaurants be packed and you need a reservation. Father's day, you might be able to go in there without a reservation.

It is just to show appreciation. My mom wanted to get as much family together and cook. She just wanted my dad to relax on the sofa.

Father's/mother's day is not for those who just made a child, but for the parents who are involved in the child's/children's life in a positive way.

It all depends on the relationship or lack of one between parent and child, if they are celebrated.

The bold is funny because we were just talking about this yesterday. My sister-in-law made reservations at a restaurant for the family to go to. It was a last minute thing, so my father-in-law was like "You actually managed to get a reservation that easy on Father's Day." And she told him that if it was Mother's Day that wouldn't have happened, but for Father's Day, we might not have even needed a reservation. She wasn't lying either cause when we got to the restaurant, we saw that they could have accommodated us easy with or without a reservation.
 
Yeah, I don't feel a need to be validated or celebrated. I know I'm appreciated. I feel like women tend to like be showered with attention, affection, and materialistics. That's why mother's Day gets so much. Mom's love to be placed on pedestal.

Men...... Well most men don't need that kinda attention. We mostly cool with just some family time. A cook out, and everybody just cool and relax. I've never needed or wanted a big deal to be made outta father's day. And I always thought it was kinda weird to see dudes crash out over it year after year.

To be honest, I hate being celebrated. I don't know why. I just don't like it. They honored me at the church yesterday, and it felt awkward as hell. I'll take the gift card, but I could do without the adulation.

Appreciation is really what matters. I don't do anything for a pat on the back. If I'm doing it, it's because I believe its supposed to be done. If the people I'm doing it for appreciate what I do, then that's good enough for me.

The ones that "crash out" are most likely the ones who are not appreciated.

A father that gets love shown to them throughout the year will not really care all that much for that day.

Similar to valentine's day. If both partners do stuff for the other on a regular basis, then that day is not all that special to them.

Pretty much. I never made a big deal about "special days" mainly because I operate at a considerate level year round.

I remember in college I peeped just how much of a trap "special days" were for chicks. A dude could be a complete piece of shit to his lady for the majority of the days of the year, but if he went all out for her birthday, Valentine's Day, their anniversary, and Christmas, all was good. That was the M.O. for some of my homeboys.

I've always been the opposite. I'm going to treat you as well as I can everyday. I probably ain't doing anything special for those particular days, and if I do, it won't be the level of some other dudes. Let me tell you. That does not go over as well. lol I think my wife was the first woman to actually appreciate that. Hence why she's my wife now.

It definitely hasn't surpassed mothers day but it's good to see people making it a more important day other than just gifting the father a card or something

I think it bugged a lot of people how fathers day was pretty much ignored while also being in men's mental heath awareness month. Though men's mental heath is still pretty much ignored

This has changed alot over the years. It is not so much as men's mental health is ignored but many men themselves ignore their own mental health.
