There is the old joke about children asking when Children's Day is, and mom replying that every day is Children's day.

Every responsible parent understands that one.

While Mother's Day was originally a Church Sponsored Christian thing, wasn't it hyped by Greeting Card companies to peddle paper, with Father's Day added to the commercial bandwagon?

You Father experience may vary. My father was a literal burden on my life, who stole my dish washing income as a child and who speculated openly about forging cheques on my bank accounts not being a crime because I was cursed with the same first and last name. He really seemed to think that it was his money and that he just had to find some way to get it away from me. That is exactly the mindset of pickpockets. Truly pathetic.
