I agree , we need to tell all our great fathers who have been there to show how irreplaceable father's are. Being a figure of manlihood just goes to show father's are irreplaceable. I raise a glass to all father's everywhere!! Posted by The Dad:

I'm a dad and I love receiving gifts on Father's Day. It's the thought that counts and if the people you love want to take the time to think about something you would like as a gift, it shows that they care. Nothing wrong with buying gifts on Father's Day. Posted by Gary Rea :

My first Child is adopted I was 43 when I met him and my now wife, I love him more than words can express. Now 53 we just had another child and we tried for 10 years and finally gave up, then out he came. I love both my children so much but it is incredible how similar both my kids are to me even though my first is not mine biologically, but he is mine and I am his dad no questions. we never lied or held information from him and he respects us for this Posted by EM:

Well spending time with Dad is the greatest thing ? I know my hubby looks forward to a little card or memento from his kids. Makes him feel "SPECIAL" Posted by Chaitanya:

To K. Shepherd: The same analogy applies to you. If something doesn't align with your beliefs you don't have to invalidate it. Respect opinions please. Posted by R Sanchez :

K. Shepherd's comment below has to be one of the stupidest things I've heard. Posted by Lacy:

To commenter K. Shepherd: I don't think that the article crossed any boundaries or published unsolicited advice. In fact many people prefer the non consumerism way of celebration and welcome generalized advice on celebrating it. Just view Google's search data! Thank you to the writer in reminding us to quell consumerism that focuses on buying rather than what the day is all about! Spending quality time with Dad! Posted by K. Shepherd:

I appreciate your site providing the date for Father's Day. However, I do not think it is your place to psychoanalize relationships and publish unsolicited, over generalized advise on how to celebrate it. Respectful boundaries please! Posted by Hismaj :

Fathers are instrumental in the development and sustainability of a civilized society. Without fathers it all collapses. It’s a joke it isn’t a statutory holiday. Posted by Darcy Drysdale :

I became the Father I wished I could of had , I treated my Son with respect, I raised him in the Church, I gave him the best education, and there hasn’t been a day that has gone by, that I haven’t told him that I love him , and given him a hug , my Son is now 31 , and I have no regrets.

Let's remember dad's we're also involved with their kids by providing home and security, food, clothes, camp costs, maybe higher schooling, boundaries, a model of male responsibilities, taking care of mom so she could look after kids, etc. Etc. Posted by Dad:

I don't want gifts. Just give me a hug every now and then. Worth more than beer or a new tie or BBQ gear and whatever else are the cool gifts according to Amazon. Posted by Manny Lovas:

We didn't celebrate father's day when i grew up - it wasn't very common for fathers to be involved with kids beyond manly activities like fishing or riding a bike.
