Fathers day

What are you all doing for Father's Day?

It will be a really difficult day for me, I will spend it with my dad and he deserves to be celebrated, we will be on holiday together but it will also be a sad day because my children no longer have their dad and they will undoubtedly be thinking about him.

Having a barbecue with the old fart, I’ll fill him full of food and alcohol.

@AdmiralPrune I'm sure he'll have a great day 😊

As hard as it will be without their dad they still have gramps which will help

No kids
No dad
No uncles
Shopping @ lowes for power tools is on my agenda

@pdockal that would have been an ideal day for my husband, he loved power tools 😂

My father was the worst human being I have ever known in my entire life. I never celebrated Father's Day. Or his birthday.

@hunkalove sorry you had a dad like that 😔

I'm taking my lad to his football tournament his team are in..playing at my old secondary school,I've not been to for 39 years..So I might go play in the sandpit where I used to hop skip and jump 😋...
But other than that,like mother's Day,we don't actually celebrate it...I might make myself a bacon sandwich!!! Thoughts will be with you ❤
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@MrVintage71 you should definitely have that bacon sandwich 🥪
I will give a card to my dad and will see my folks. My dad's 81 this year in August. I know that I'm blessed to have grown up with both parents, even if the road hasn't always been smooth. I have a friend who lost her dad young and then a few years ago lost her mum to lung cancer although my friend was a grown adult by then. I do know that it's like to lose people though, in terms of friends and grandparents rather than immediate loved ones and some in very tragic circumstances. Life throws you some wicked curve balls. I often think that the worst thing about a long life is losing so many people.

I don't know you well but I feel strongly that your kids are lucky to have you.

@ostfuidctyvm thanks 😊

No idea. My daughter has to work and my father has been gone for years. I don`t mind a quiet day.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@Degbeme you could have a nice cheese scone at least 😊
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@PatientlyWaiting25 Oh great idea. I know exactly where to get some. 🤤
ronisme1 · 70-79, M
Nothing planned. My dad is long gone. Just a quiet day i suppose
OldBrit · 61-69, M
Nothing planned. I'm not a great believer in it. My dad used to call it a "catchpenny day”.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@OldBrit it's true it is very commercial like most things but good dads are amazing and deserve to get spoilt. I used to make biscuits with my kids and get them to decorate them so it was not only cheaper but more personal too 😊

@PatientlyWaiting25 the coaster next to my bed has heart and teddy bear stickers on it. Must be nearly 30 years old now.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@OldBrit that's lovely that you still have it x
I'll be trying not to think about it or hear about it.
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
@HootyTheNightOwl are you adopted?
@PatientlyWaiting25 No, that would have been slightly more understandable than simply registering my birth in one name, forcing me to use another and gaslighting the daylights out of me when I revealed my true birth name.

They registered my birth, they knew well what was written in the register - as I ultimately worked out for myself. It took 8 years for the official paperwork to catch up with the bs identity that they forced me to live with.

Now, I want and I will have the name that my birth was originally registered in. I am determined to right that wrong and show my physically abusive "father" (if you can call that thing a "father") that they can lie to me and gaslight me all they like - but I walk in the truth of who I am... even if the truth is uncomfortable for him.

@HootyTheNightOwl Sorry you had such a challenging childhood, I'm praying for your peace and healing over this xx
