It's Father's Day here in the U.S. today, so happy Father's Day to you all.

Can't believe you insensitive bastards here haven't started a thread already.

I can't even begin to imagine what Mike's getting down to tonight.

Matt and I were a little nervous about this, but this year we BOTH signed each other's cards and letters to our dads'.

He's a lucky guy, our Darth Wong.

My brother, mother and I all collaborated to buy my father a Jesus of Nazereth DVD(He's into theology, we get into many interesting discussions), and a teddy bear with a San Francisco Giants uniform(He bought tickets earlier to go see the Giants-Sox games). What did you guys get your dads?

Dad got a grill, and we're cooking enough food to choke a mule team.

I didn't know it was today until I saw this thread.

Being at uni makes it hard to anything more than say it, but we're not very big on it in our family - we all know we love each other and I spend quite a lot of time already telling them both that they're the coolest parents ever, but if I had been home, I'd have probably picked up a couple of bottles of real ale or taken him to the pub for a quick drink.

I got my dad 5 lbs of Licorce Snaps.

He's getting a card since I'm poor. And we're going to The Spare Rib.

I gave my dad the Band of Brothers DVD collection. He's watching it non stop like somekind of robot.

I dont know, should I email mine? He did disown me and all.....

The fact that the only time my father has bothered to contact me in the past 10 years (with the exception of when we see each other on the street) was to tell me that my grandmother on that side had died (and even then other relatives on that side called to check that he had bothered to)...

Fuck you dad. Fuck you very much.

Alyrium, Ando, I'm very sorry that your dads suck.
I've known since before the majority of the members here were born that I was luckier than most when it comes to the quality of my parents. But it's still upsetting when you hear how petty, hateful, or downright abusive people can be to their own family.
Sorry.

Well i phoned my dad, said hello, talked about what we were doing and that was it.

Which comes under "extensive in depth telephone conversation" in our vocabularies...we're not really phone people.

But hey, it was nice.

Even if we did go a year with no contactbecause both of us just didn't phone, but my brother and i have since mended any bridgeswith dad, and visited him in cumbria (end of 28 days later).

Our Father's Day is in September. Though I'm stumped for ideas.

My parents are out of town on vactation so the presentation of my Father's day present will have to wait until he gets back.

Reminds me of my mom and the "I Love Lucy" DVDs we bought her for mother's day. By now, however, she's snapped out of it.
