Summary

Father's Day can be disappointing for many fathers who feel overlooked and unappreciated. This is often because they have different love languages than their family members, and gift-giving is not a meaningful expression of love for them. It's important for fathers to communicate their needs and desires to their loved ones, rather than saying 'nothing' when asked what they want. If the perfect day doesn't happen, fathers should give themselves permission to create the day they want and celebrate themselves. It's okay to be frustrated, but taking ownership of one's happiness is key.
