Good call, Arthur!
I find myself wishing I had thanked my late dear old Dad more.

what ever happened to Kids Day??? So it's alright to give presents to parents because "they put up with our shit", but why can't parents give their kids presents for them "putting up with their shit"? I mean whats with all the "tidy your room" bullshit and "wait til your father gets home"?

Parents get the fun of punishment to outweigh the crap they put up with. Kids get nothing. I feel sorry for the kids....

It's a conspiracy.

I don't think my kid will get me anything. It'll need to pop out a few months early and I don't think that'll be a good thing.

All you fathers are selfish bastards for expecting something. Shame on you. It's about bringing new life into this world. I for one won't be expecting anything at all

A naughty & a pair of socks - both 2 sizes too big!

It's usually a mixed bag of stuff for me, I don't want anything material and that usually works ok unless my wife is trying to up the ante for mothers day by encouraging spending on me to guarantee a bigger take when her turn comes around. Who said family politics was easy?
My son will give me a hug or call if he's out of town, my daughter will forget the whole day then remember in a couple of months time, insist we go out for dinner to "make up" and I will end up paying as she is too poor to afford the bloody food she ordered....

I'm just hoping I can take the afternoon off and go trail biking that day.

However, this year my father in law is busy dying as I write so I suspect it will have a special poignancy.

A lofty and most worthy goal, Dr Deuce.

Fathers day in Iraq consists of kids deternating land mines around the back yard. or making dad proud when he blows himself up, killing dozens and gets sent to heaven

There was a period where nearly every year on fathers day I'd have one more child to celebrate with than the year before. I finally figured out what was causing it though

Just cards and socks now
