ok I couldn't find a topic that said this so ya, well I actually hate it, I don't get along with my dad at all and all my friends couldn't make any plans because it was "Fathers Day"

My OPINION on fathers day is that its just another useless holliday that they made up to get people to spend more money.

how bout u guys/girls.

I don't think it originated as a holiday for companies to make money, but it has kind of turned into that. I don't really look at it that way though. To me, it's just a way of saying thanks to my dad—which I guess should be done year round.

Indeed. For me, just a day to treat my dad special.

I don't hate it. I just find no use for it. And I don't get along with my father either. He isn't the most nicest person you would want to have around as one.

He didn't treat me to nicely when I was growing up and I was so glad when I moved out on my 18th birthday (Yes the first thing I did when I got up in the morning was moved into my apartment)

I still visit my parents every now and then. But I have never said happy father's day to him, nor has my brother. We rarely even speak.

I don't really get along with my dad and he works like all day long and well me and my brother kind of hate the things he does like sometimes me and my brother would kind of get in a fight with my dad and end up regretting stuff. We never really talk to him and really want to do stuff with him well i don't so i see today as like a day that all fathers deserve because theres some fathers who do alot of work everyday and should probably have a day where they shouldn't really and you should spend time with him. :O

Offtopic: Christina T that picture in your sig makes me want to cry. :'(

I'm fine with my dad, but the Cubs hat I got him didn't fit and he left early on a business trip :ermm: . But yeah, other than that, I really just think of it as another Hallmark holiday. Businesses may just use it as a means to make a lot of money another day of the year, but it's nice to know that you appreciate your dad. After all, you've only got one REAL father.

I don't really have an issue with it because my dad has done so much for me and my family. And to be honest, he doesn't make a big deal about it at all - he'd rather get on with fixing things around the house etc.

This year we (my mum, two brothers and I) bought him an iPod because he is always travelling for work and takes an old school CD player with him, so we thought an iPod would be easier for him.

I also bought him a card saying that he is "the best daddy ever" - please bear in mind i'm almost 21 :P I got a few funny looks at the shop when I bought that! It was an A4 sized card with a big pirate on it!

Well, there was some time in my life where I could not stand my father; I hated him!!! But now I'm 19, and after growing up, I've learned to not care about what he does (he used to get drunk a lot, now he doesn't) and I actually care about him.

Yesterday I just took the opportunity and did something I hadn't done in like 12 years: I hugged him. Actually it was nice! MY mother and I gave him some things he needed, and we spent some time together :)

I am also 14 ;)

I both my parents, it is just that we don't do anything special.

Whenever it is one of our four family members' birthday, we are like oh, happy birthday, got out to eat at the restaurant of their choice.

When it is mine our my sister's b-day, and we have received anything special and expensive to us, that is both ar b-day and christmas gift since we have our b-days in late November. If not, sometime in December our parents will buy us something.

Yeah, that's basically it.
