@GingerAvenger@xanga - Your personality explains why your family prob. doesn't like you or make you feel special. My grammar, was that seriously the best you could come up with? You wrote, "The reason I think Fathers' Day, Mothers' Day, and Valentines' Day are stupid is because my family has never make a big deal about them."  

@UnconventionalButterfly@xanga - You are an awesome woman, and therefore don't need to whine.

And where's the post about deadbeat moms? Oh wait. This is momaroo. Got my hopes for equality up for nothing.

@GingerAvenger@xanga - Sigh, it's scary you are a teacher. The problem is the latter part of the sentence, "are stupid is because my family never MAKES a big deal out of them or you could say never made if you wanted to use past tense. I'm just saying, don't point out someone else's mistakes and then find you're unable to spot your own. 

@cocainecupcakes28@xanga - I agree. I am a terrible teacher. My kids correct me all the time.

It's a holiday for people who want to celebrate great men. Don't really know why that's stupid.

On another note, your profile pic is adorable! I'm assuming she's your daughter...what a cutie.

This article is a little stupid because- the world does not have to cater to those who have been damaged by their fathers. Or mothers.

Having a holiday that you personally don't like isn't "rubbing it in", nor is it inappropriate simply because you it reminds you of hurtful things to cancel it for the rest of us. If your dad was Irish, do you get offended at St Patrick's Day? Silly.

I actually agree with you that Mother's Day and Father's Day are silly holidays, and I see them as mostly a burden, but my parents appreciate it, so I'll continue to give them gifts and cards on that day. However, the reasons that you think they're stupid sound like they're based in bitter emotions, not logic.

We shouldn't celebrate birthdays, either, because some people die young.  Celebrating would just rub it in the face of those who lost loved ones.

This is such a B.S. post. My mother happened to be the deadbeat and I don't consider mothers day to be stupid. Just because YOU didn't have an active father (and trust me, mine wasn't the greatest) doesn't mean you need to bash the whole day.

That's like single people hating on Valentines Day because they don't have someone to share it with. C'mon now, time to grow up and stop letting your jealousy show. Yes, it's sad when your father or mother isn't around and when the day comes to celebrate them you feel duped - but if that's the case then just go on about your day. Nobody is forcing you to celebrate anything.

@GingerAvenger@xanga - Life sucks, and we all know this little fact. It's nothing new. There's things in our world that can get under our skin and make us feel lonely, sad, hurt, mad, etc. All we can do is deal with it, and when we feel those good feelings in life, they feel so much better after a long period of negativity. Also, I'm in college right now, but since I'm not working on schoolwork, I'm not writing formally. I'm writing casually so grammar and spelling don't really matter, as I'm sure that's how everyone on Xanga feels. You're not being paid to correct grammatical errors and such so relax!

I commend you though. Anyone who can put up with a class full of kids is a superhero in my eyes.

And as for this post... if you believe that Fathers' day is a little stupid, well, so are ALL the holidays. But I still like them all because it's an excuse to spend time with my family.

@GingerAvenger@xanga - You want to vent? Great. Go exercise. Engage in hobbies. Volunteer at shelters and missions. Hang out with people and do fun stuff. Channel your energy into more positive things besides revealing your stupidity to us. 

@craigwbooth@xanga - The Princess and the Frog is actually the only one I can think of. Ariel and Belle had loving father's, but they both had some major flaws.
