The point being made though, is why wait until Fathers/Mothers/ Grandparents/Valentines or whatever day is invented by the retail trade to do these things? No need for me to lighten up about it; I am not being entirely serious and in any case it doesn't affect me. I no longer have any Grandparents or Parents, and I am not a parent myself! It was a good excuse to get out on the bike today while everyone else was tied up with family commitments.

Straddle the line, discord and rhyme
The level of obligation surrounding father's / mother's day that is placed on some people, and the guilt that is placed on them should they miss it makes me believe that I am not the one who needs to lighten up. The whole concept of Father's day is utterly cynical and I reject it thoroughly.
My daughter is due to be born any day now. I expect it to be the happiest and proudest day of my life and will never stop loving her, but she will owe me nothing.

You may take a different view when your children are teenagers. To actually have them go for a walk with you and sit across a table from you for a couple of hours is not a minor achievement. If an artificial construct such as Father's Day proves to be the mechanism to encourage this to happen then so be it.
Good luck with the impending arrival

I don't do card days & my dad died on Father's Day but my daughter found this and needed an occasion to use it. I like it a lot.

Got this from my son:
He has a small son whom he insists is not annoying him at 6am. I think we may have to consider the appropriate birthday present.
