Being a dad's fucking brilliant.

I find I'm not so good at it as I used to be.

Why do you think so?
What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Age and lack of viagra.  :P

Well my father is composting in a plot at Doddington Road Cemetery and Vernon's dad is in a box on a shelf so cheap day for us.

Bugger all.

Wasn't even allowed to buy myself a FD present at B&Q. Instead had to get paint brushes and rollers and get to work.
It is simpler than it looks.

No cards; no presents; no Father's Day wishes; no problem.

My lads thank me pretty regularly for being a good dad, and, quite frankly, seeing how they are turning out is often reward enough.  No need to celebrate a completely confected day, when you have the whole year to enjoy together.
Getting there...

I specifically told daughter (she asked) not to get a FD present, just to come over with her brother.

She still make me a bracelet and brought some amazing chocolate. We were going to go out to a film, but she wasn't very well, so we had lazy sunday afternoon on sofa watching 'A very long engagement' (my favourite film ever). Then I cooked dinner.

Just time together, that's what Father's Day should be about.

My 2's other parent seems to have forgotten this.   >:(
My dad only believes in Mothering Sunday 'celebrating the Mother Church, but you may pick you mother a posy from the garden'.

Every day is father's day.
Riding a concrete path through the nebulous and chaotic future.
