I'm a pretty simple guy. I think that's a humble and honest self assessment. I don't ask for much for myself.
Case in point, this year, I'll be turning 40. Big 4-0. Etc.
Doesn't bother me much. Jen, however, wants to have a party for me. Again, I don't mind. However, the planning thing seems a bit overwhelming to me. Hence, I'd rather not do that part of the whole thing.
Party=Okay and maybe even nice.
Me planning party/coming up with a guest list to the party/putting forward any effort on this party at all=Not okay
Perhaps a clown and a pony.....
But then I digress.
I really don't demand big things for myself. Just let the girls be potty trained (ohhhh, so close), my Giants win a world series at least every other season (I said AT LEAST...'15 is looking up), me have enough time to make the family their dinner, and enough time with God and my bride that I feel like I'm not being negligent and remember how blessed I truly am. After this, I don't ask for a lot.
Therefore, Father's Day, while nice, isn't a necessity to me. I do like being exalted and held up a bit as a parent (as everybody does, from time to time). However, there's about 1000 things I can think that I'd prefer rather than Father's Day.
