I used to coach my son's baseball team a few years back with another guy. He would never want to schedule tournaments for Mother's Day or Father's Day weekends. I used to argue with him over it. There is nothing else I would rather be doing on a Father's Day than being out on the ball field with my son. But, I get it. Not everyone thinks that way, and some like to make other family plans for those days.I don't make a big deal out of fathers day, so this wouldn't bother me.
For I don't know how many years, we had baseball tournament on mothers day. As a matter of fact, my favorite picture of my wife and our boys is of the three of them sitting in the restaurant we stopped at on the way back. All three of them are sun/wind burned. It's kinda funny, but a perfect reminder of that day and those times.
Of course, we will be going, as I should...
Actually she does. June 22 is graduation, just a few days after my birthday.
That's great. I usually enjoy taking my family up to my father's house (2 hours away) for our family picnic.
No just an assembly type thing.
Family picnic at my fathers, 2 hours from where we live.
That's great, this conflicts with a family event.
Probably a good wife/mother/...
Yeah there are a ton of things that I would rather not do. This sin't about not wanting to do this.
That's great to have that memoryI don't make a big deal out of fathers day, so this wouldn't bother me.

I guess I never thought the majority of people made annual plans on fathers day, whoever set up the ceremony must have thought the same as me. We aren't talking about the fourth of july here, its a random sunday in june.
yeah- the issue isn't the fathers' day thing, it's that he has another commitment (yes... associated with fathers' day).
invite him to the kickball tourney brohan if you think your pop wouldnt like seeing his son and his grandkids all on dads day think again that stuff matters to us older bromigos a hell of a lot take that to the bank
No actually it is with it being on Father's Day. If it was just a random day I wouldn't think twice about it. Just conflicting plans.
I don't recall any other public school event in my school career or my child's being on Sunday.
Yeah, seemed like we were at a travel softball tournament somewhere every year on Father's day for about 5 years running.
just saying... fathers' day is just a day. you and the family decided to make a plan tied into it- it's not a mandate. but hopefully there's a way of working around both the awards and the picnic.
There's not, and of course we go to the awards ceremony. I can understand your point, Any "holiday" is just a random day.
well i belive that kids learn there work ethic from those around them including notably parents and even if you did nothing to that end which i find hard to believe you still clearly raised a good kid who works hard and in any event you should feel pride in that and you deserve and atta dad and im giving you one so bam there it is another riddle solved by the old swcer take that to the bank broshiba
kinda my point... but fathers' day is whatever you make of it. there's no parade or other set activity at a certain time or place that the community needs to work around like other holidays. if they scheduled the ceremony during 4th fireworks, or memorial day parade, etc... I'd agree with getting irritated.
It’s interesting though cause I look at the Fourth of July and memorial day as more community holidays than I do family holidays. I think I would be annoyed less.
that's just horrific planning
