Fathers seem get no respect, even on Father's Day

You need a new editor. This article was full of spelling and grammatical errors, including the HEADLINE! Immediately lost credibility with me.

Brought a tear to my eye this morning.

WAH WAh Wah WAh I like cards about fishing golfing farting and drinking beer. so get over it.

Happy Father's Day Gentlemen!

To My Dad Luis A.:

I don't need a card to tell you that you are the greatest. You worked so hard until your health slowed you down. You taught me how to drive, play baseball and dominoes. You showed me what a gentleman was. Today you turn 62 y/o and you still open the car door for me and your granddaughters. After my divorce you made sure I still got roses on Valentine's Day, I'll never forget that Papi. You never cursed or spoke ill to your wife, our mother. I love how you spoil (us)your children and grandchildren with LOVE and understanding!!

You are the greatest and Happy Birthday Mi Viejo!!!

With Love... Tu Nena

While I agree that fathers are depicted as dense and virtually useless in many popular sitcoms, and I have noticed the abundance of humorous Father's Day cards in contrast to the more sentimental, I would like to make the point that this may be more of an outlet for men to get a few laughs rather than an actual representation of where fatherhood is heading.
Men, in general, tend to be more comfortable with making light of themselves rather than spouting out their many sacrifices to their families because they are performers and they do what needs to be done and enjoy a good laugh now and then. I think that the difference you pointed out in your article regarding mothers and fathers can be simplified to this: men and women are different.
I've heard my husband crack up at The Simpsons and King of Queens (I know Doug Heffernan is not a dad, but he is an idiot) and it isn't because my husband believes that's the real deal and as good as it gets, it is because he knows how totally ridiculous these situations are and has the ability to find it funny. That's it. Nothing hidden there, nothing latent going on. He came from a household with a good father and now he's heading a household as a great father.

Especially those who are celebrating for the first time!have a great day!

It would be better if the author could make sense. No idea what you're trying to say in the title.

Sorry.

Color Him Father, Color Him Love.
To all Dads...Happy Fathers Day !!!
Life sure is so much better with you around. Never forget how important you are.

Hellow kevin dad happy farther day i think ive seen you on tv befor on disney channel in the moive so have a good fther day.

your sons are grate even there music is asome what i like about there music is that the best i lie about the music is sos thats what i like about there music.

Surprised there's no mention of commercial TV advertisements in this article. Men are depicted as clueless buffoons, and women are always depicted as smarter and more competent. Maybe because women make more commercial purchases, the advertisers feel they have to pander; but is it fair to denegrate men in the process? no.

I like to commend all of the Fathers that are both Mother and Father to their children. Some men make better mothers than the women do.
In this day and age it just warms my heart when I see young Dad's with their babies, taking care of them.
The stereotype of women taking care of the children and the men being the breadwinner has been broken.
Have a wonderful Father's Day to all of the Dad's out there. And I'm talking about the Dads that are a part of their child's life not the sperm donors (Dead beat Dads).

Part of being a dad is making the sacrifices without the same amount of fanfare and recognition. It is what it is. As a father I know for myself how much my efforts have helped to move my children ahead in life. I don't need any special type of card and I certainly don't care about how today's brainless advertising and TV media decide to depict me. My reward is seeing my children flourish because there simply is no substitute for that.

Dad blinded by love?

As a father, i get no respect...when i was born the doctor slapped my mother..

I gave my Dad a wonderful sentimental card. Remember all you dads out there that have a daughter-- every girl wants a dad that loves her!!!!

My wife of 18 years still doesn't get it. I got the card with a stupid picture of bulldog with photoshoped human teeth making a smile. Also got a black t shirt with a guitar from Kohls which she ran out and got this morning. I saw it there the other day. It cost 5.99. I wouldn't wear it to a rock fight. God forbid she makes dinner for me. When I got home from fishing there was a steak marinating in italian salad dressing and microwave baked potatoes. They blew up in the microwave she left them in so long. She thinks steak marinating in italian dressing is something special. Of course I have to cook it if I want some thing for dinner. I give up. Women these days are self centered, lazy and could care less about keeping a man happy.

Dude, you're clueless. She's doing it on purpose because your probably an ahole. Do both yourself and her a favor:divorce.

Love your children with all your heart.tell them often how much you love them, hug and kiss them with abandon. find in your every day to give them support and some one to lean on. soon they will be gone....
