I am not doing anything for my husband on Father's Day and part of me feels perfectly fine and justified with it and part of me feels a little bit mean about it. First of all, Father's Day is a day that only makes me sad since my Dad passed away in 2012 so I have no interest in celebrating the day at all. It's just depressing to me. I just want to cry on Father's Day. I was a "Daddy's girl" and he was the parent I was closest to... He taught me how to read a clock, do multiplication tables, do long division, ride a bike, to drive.... He bought me my first car. My mother was emotionally and physically abusive - he was not. And my Dad was always there to help me when I needed something as an adult. It broke my heart when he suddenly died. He was young and healthy, it was unexpected. So, Father's Day is just sad for me in the first place. '
As far as my husband goes - he never does anything for me for Mother's Day. Nothing. Not one small gesture. And he does nothing and covers his ***** by saying "Well, It's Mother's Day and YOU'RE not MY mother..." as to say it should be all up to the kids to do something because I'm not HIS mother, he is off the hook and then he does nothing. He does not care that I'm the mother of his children. He has been this way for about the past 4 years. I used to go all out and make sure the kids had a present for him and cards. I don't remember him ever making sure the kids had a Mother's Day card or gift for me. They always made me cute little things on their own. So, I'm done doing anything for him on Father's Day and I'm using his own motto... He's NOT MY father.... Am I mean????
