Father's Day is a made up event as far as I know. It certainly doesn't relate to the Church. I believe it was done to promote equality and show how both parents need appreciation from their offspring (hint, hint sons). I think it's the same with grand parents day.
I don't mind the cards and flowers for those that like it, but I really do think that many of the 'celebratory days' are just another excuse to garner more sales.
But then I'm getting to the age where I'm just a grumpy old f art! :mrgreen:
Haha, yeah cards and flowers are cute, but all we really want now is for someone to cook us dinner and take out the trash. :P
I suspected Fathers Day was a more recent made-up thing, but wasn't sure, thanks. As for Grandparents Day, well to be a Grandparent you first need to be a Mother or a Father, so that's a bit like double-dipping! Grandparents Day hasn't caught on over here in Australia, other than something they do in schools really.
It's the liberals in teaching that have created Grand Parents day over here, someone has relatives in the states and brings it over and it spreads out just like that. Having said that, with more families having to have dual earners to put bread on the table Grand Parents are being hit on for free child minding, so appreciating the help is a good thing, just don't think we need an official day for it.;)
