Dealing with Father's day as a co-parent (lemmy.ca)

Just thought I'd throw this out there to see how single father's are dealing with Father's day as a co-parent.

I didn't get to see my daughter today because it wasn't my weekend. I could've changed but I don't like changing up the schedule with my ex. My daughter will have something made for me from daycare and I'll get it from her next weekend. Father's day has never been a big deal for me, even less since my father passed a few years ago. It's been just another normal day for me.

Feel free to share your experiences of how Father's day went for you.

Ah, I missed your post and made my own. I have this gripe that if it's really supposed to be important then Father's Day (and Mother's Day for that matter), should be a three-day weekend. However, this is really part of my reasoning as to why it's not actually that important. It really is just another Sunday and anyone trying to make it too much more than that is setting themselves up for disappointment, fathers and father-enjoyers alike.
