as a reletivly new father I have my own fellings on what fathers day should be but it would seem my wife has other ideas.
Basically I think fathers day should be me doing what I want, however the wife thinks it should be a family day?
does any one have any thoughts on this? Oh I also think Mothers day is the same sort of situation.

I had a father that didn't want me anymore. He didn't want me when he found out that my mom was pregnant with me. She left him and kept me. I have no feelings for father's day. I have a husband whom I adore tremendously and I am so happy that I have him for my children's father. I am happy that he is in my life.
As far as father's day, we don't make a big deal in our household. We give him cards and that is about it.

My husband and I have made it our mission to make sure our children have both their parents under the same roof. His dad left his family when he was very young. We want our children to have both a mom and dad that love them so much.
I guess you can say that we are odd balls. We have been together 17 years and married 12. We do have our fights, but we are working through our marriage. Anyone who says marriage is easy is lying. We want to instill family values in our children. We want them to see that divorce is not an easy way out and working out their problems with their spouses will be a lot of hard work.

In this modern era both fathers day and mothers day are equally important and should be family day. Through both these day the children must be aware of the need of respect to their parents and also to be obedient for all good directions from them. And at the same time the parents also should be aware that the responsibilities through their children. They should diminish their selfishness and to be fill with the real love an affection towards the children and to be guide them to the right way not only through but also through deeds.
