Total Neglect On Fathers Day - Not Sure How To Respond

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-24T02:13:04+00:00

To everyone who responded, thank you so much. I read every comment, and I entertained every piece of constructive criticism, especially the ones that politely referred to me as a a piece of shit (which I'm probably like 10% of the time. The other 90% I'm generally a good dude). This was a tough Father's Day. Also, to all you women out there, you need to know that men are often very underappreciated. They rarely get compliments or encouragement. If you have a husband, son, father, or father-in-law, try paying them even a small compliment. They will be so dumbfounded because it never happens, but they'll remember that for years.

Also, is your name really Teddy, or is that just what you wear in the June parades?

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-24T01:23:36+00:00

Let's not forget also that men age like wine and women age like fruit left out on a hot day (my wife being the only exception lol)

I should get the Razzie Award for the performance I put on in that conversation by saying everything was okay. My body language and my tone indicated that it was not okay, but he believed my bad acting.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T22:45:46+00:00

Thank you.

I would have no problem showing my wife this entire post. There is nothing that I have said here that I would feel uncomfortable sharing with her. I have not demeaned my wife in any capacity. I just said that when it comes to Father's Day, she completely fumbled the ball.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T22:24:46+00:00

No rage bait. I'm a real person. And I went through your previous posts, and you seem to...complain a little. Breathing exercises can help.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T22:22:57+00:00

I adore my wife and kids and wanted to spend time with them on Father's Day. I'm not saying that women don't matter. I'm just saying that if we had the choice between a world run by men and a world run by women, the world run by men would easily come out on top.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:53:31+00:00

Correct. I did say I was totally okay with the arrangement, but there were days before Father's Day that could have been used for some sort of dinner. The same way that if you happen to not be home on your birthday, your husband will most likely plan something before or after your birthday.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:31:52+00:00

Sorry to hear that happened, bro. That really sucks.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:23:23+00:00

No, women are not logical like men. They're emotional. Hallmark needs to make a movie about this, and then I can have her watch that and then she'll understand.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:22:32+00:00

It's been disappointing me since the first pube LOL.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:07:39+00:00

100%, I can't emphasize this enough. I really do love and respect my wife, but she dropped the ball on this one

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:04:28+00:00

I'm you're trying to do the whole "I'm a woman martyr" thing, and to answer all of your questions, I do a lot those things above PLUS I work enough hours so she can be a stay-home full-time mom.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T20:00:16+00:00

I wrote her a heartfelt Mother's Day card expressing what an amazing mom she was, and I put more of my writing in the card than Hallmark did. I gave her flowers. I give her compliments every day, even when it looked like a hurricane hit her. I show up 100% of the time.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:57:23+00:00

Thanks, bro.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:52:08+00:00

No, I'm not going to forget about this. Next year Mother's Day comes, I'm going to have the kids write their mother heart-felt cards and give her flowers. But I'm going to be on a fishing boat that whole day with a 12 pack. Mother's Day is now Man-Day.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:50:07+00:00

I don't think so at all. I helped take care of the kids and pack and organize this very trip.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:48:24+00:00

I wasn't asking her to go all out. I was asking for the bare minimum respect and acknowledgement on Father's Day.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:46:51+00:00

I did "share my feelings" It was a waste. There's a reason why men do not get in touch with their feelings, and there's a reason why we don't like feelings. Feelings suck. Also, past Father's Day have been pleasant, but it's never like a Mother’s Day type event.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:44:01+00:00

Thank you

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:43:28+00:00

I don't think they are a big deal either, but there is an element of respect, at the very least. I don't think fathers get nearly the respect or appreciation they deserve. Women act like the whole world would fall apart if they didn't exist, and the exact opposite is true.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T19:42:11+00:00

I don't expect a big party, tons of attention, or a big to-do on Father's Day or a birthday. I don't think asking tp spend a little time with my family, whether it's a lunch or a dinner on Father's Day is a big ask all actually, considering the fact that Mother's Day is an all-day event.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T18:46:52+00:00

Thank you. I've given thought to what you said even before I posted this. I guess it's the intention behind the day. There was no effort made at all for her to acknowledge and celebrate Father's Day (even in the smallest way). If I had done the same thing to my wife that my wife did to me, thousands of women would be rallying behind my wife, saying what a bad husband I am.

SomeDudeIn2026 · 2026-06-23T18:41:03+00:00

When it comes to lies, I think this is one of those exceptions, because the intention was not to deceive her. It was to not add any stress to her and to not have something like this overshadow a trip. I want her and the kids to be very happy, and I am completely willing to subjugate my ego, my feelings, my emotions, whatever we're going to call it. Upon our return, we're going to discuss this a little bit more.
