20-year-old daughter ignores dad on Father’s Day after he repeatedly avoids her mom on every holiday and occasion, instead plans to turn it into a second Mother’s Day: ‘He treats Mother's Day, Christmas, my mom's birthdays and other holidays as nothing’

Dads are men, and men, as we all know, possess truly phenomenal memory skills—provided the subject is the starting lineup of the 1989 NFL season or the exact distance on Tiger Woods' best drive. Ask one about the anniversary of their wedding, the date of their child's birthday, or, heaven forbid, Mother's Day, and suddenly "total recall" becomes "total mystery." It's a universal law: the more important the occasion, the more likely Dad is to wander the house the night before, muttering about what day it is and if he's supposed to be somewhere.

There are dads who forget special occasions because life gets busy, and then there are dads who treat heartfelt gestures like they're participating in a personal boycott against effort. In the case of this 20-year-old, Father's Day isn't so much a chance to celebrate paternal wisdom as it is another opportunity to highlight just how little dad brings to the family's emotional table.

Some people (I think I was pretty clear on who I'm talking about here) treat holidays like a pop quiz they forgot to study for, and others simply don't open the book at all. Here, dad's brand of celebration involves borrowing money meant for mom's spa escape, never booking the trip, and then handing out promises with the same enthusiasm most of us reserve for taking out the trash.

"WIBTA for planning to ignore my father for Father's Day and give my mother all the attention?"
