Do any of you get depressed on Father's day due to a lack of recognition, appreciation and/or acknowledgement?
Evidently, based on receiving nothing (no acknowledgement, no card, no present, no special dinner), I'm being told I suck as a father. I'm an excellent ATM, attend games, practices, school events, provide a good home, food, amenities.
I'm not abusive, but do believe my responsibility is to be their father, not their friend. Which means they don't always get their way or all the latest toys they now seem to EXPECT. Also get no backup from DW when saying no or expecting better grades or better behavior, or to clean their room or pick up after themselves.
