I'm a little bit torn as to what to do for my dad this Father's Day. Mostly, and childishly, because he didn't even acknowledge my birthday this year until about two weeks later. I know, it's petty.
But, here's the thing. I've been inviting my father and his wife over for dinner for months. Months. Every time, they're too busy, or he just doesn't respond.
So, now with Father's Day on Sunday, I'm kind of like, "Meh, who cares."
But, at least I'll admit it. That counts for something, right?
I mean, does Hallmark even make a card that says something like, "I'm acknowledging you're my dad, but really I'm just not feelin' it"?
No? They should.
Alright, I guess I'm going to go get a decent card at lunch and drop it in the mail. It's the least I can do, right?

I think that would be very thoughtful of you. As easy as it would be to just do nothing, it will make you feel better to know you tried. Hugs!!
PS - Love the new design!! Looks fantastic!
I agree. I think drop a card in the mail and be done with it, you know? That way you know that you did something but I wouldn't spend too much time/money/attention on it, based on how he has been to you.
I agree with the others. A card is plenty, if you ask me. (And even if you can nonchalantly say that being upset over the birthday thing is petty, the fact that he didn't acknowledge it for 2 weeks was still hurtful. Petty or no, it doesn't change that part.)
