I hope it's just a phase with my boys... ( 16 and 15 ) but the only one of my 3 kids I really enjoy at this point is my 11 year old daughter
They both sad happy Father's Day and that was it
I was bad with my dad back in my teens and twenties too tho
My mom had a surprise 50th birthday party for him back in 1986 and I blew it off and finally showed up around midnight at the function hall drunk with a girl I met that night
I think my dad understood, but mom was a bit annoyed
My Ozzie and Harriet parenting days are over... My kids have had it far too easy and it's our fault.

15 and 16......your kidding......hold on to your butt because you haven't seen anything yet......
the only reason why my to oldest have made it this far is because prison scares me to much.......
there are days when you just want to give them a hug...and then there are days you want to squeeze until they stop breathing......
but in the end...I would not trade any of them..........( i tried no one wants them.)......

I wish I could at least call my dad...but I can't since 2002 February
My 4 year old son already told me happy fathers day and he even handed over some gifts "he bought". My one and a half year old is just happy to run around the house and being goofy..
The 4 year old's greatest days are weekends when he knows I'll be home and I take them to the beach. He usually double checks Friday night to make sure I'll be home when he wakes up. And that's what its all about for me. Father's day as often as I can!

I know...I already kind of dread those day that will come with "that" age... I wasn't an easy teen either, for my parents.

While here I am at the ripe old age of 48 with both kids grown and out of the house, I will openly admit that I wish both were under 5 right now.
I'd be a much better dad the 2nd go around.
While my kids are nowhere near ready or in desire of kids, I'm fully ready to be a grandpa.

I have been treated great. Dinner and a movie last night. Breakfast, cards and presents today. Grilling steaks later. All my kids are great and I am a lucky man!
Of course they have used my money to buy all the presents and to take me out last night, but great just the same.

Best Father's Day here.
I can do what I want, when I want and with whoever I want for 10 days.
I sent the family to Florida.

The kids from 11 to 27 each did and said the best things this father could have asked for today.
I can't say I deserve such great kids, but I surely am grateful for each of them.

Had a great day with my 2 adult daughters. Took me to the best State Park in Indiana, Turkey Run. Hiked for half the day then sang along with Warren Zevon songs all the way home. At least they acquired good musical tastes.
Wife had to work, so the kid and I did what we could to entertain outselves, best part was we were asked out on a date for dinner. Very Nice!!!
My dad call, lol learned not to expect it many years ago.

Mr Happy!
Got up early (as usual) and did a bunch of office work before the wife and pups got up for the day.
Made a couple posts here....then called my father. Was going to try to go visit my parents and take them out for lunch, but then the phone rings from a desperate person who just sold their home and the water was coming in.
Headed out at 1 pm....got back to town at 6 pm,
Took all the family out to eat...including the grandson.....they offered to pay, but was more than they really should be paying....so it became a business meeting....LOL!
Just got home, grabbed a shower, sitting in the easy chair with the pup with the knee surgery and visiting all of you....and love reading the updates.
Do have to say, that little grandson sure does make a Grandpa's day!
HE WAS SO SAD WHEN HE HAD TO GO HOME AND COULDN'T DRIVE GRANDPA'S BIG BLUE VAN
Busy day, didn't get enough time with the family but the short time I did was priceless!!!

I spent the day with the kiddo, cooked a dinner and invited some family. My dad is on the road since he's a truck driver. He and my step-mom like to camp during the summer and the campground is few miles from where he parks his truck for his reset. I surprised him with a cook out at their camper while my step-mom distracted him on Saturday. My father and I rarely tell each other we love one another, we just show it - he is really a man of few words but has his own way of expressing himself. He had a big smile on his face when they pulled up because I don't see him much with my schedule and him always being on the road.
This year has been rough because since I have been born it has been the first time ever he hasn't been home for major holidays and even at 28 I still miss him not being there. He's always been a hard worker and has worked when he was sick, tired, sore, and through a really nasty divorce - Dad has always done what he has needed to and worked very hard to provide for us growing up. He told me how proud he is of the man I have become and before I knew it we were both crying like babies hugging each other. Hearing those words come from my dad, I still don't know how to describe it besides my heart is heavy with joy. I have always looked up to him and am through the moon that I have made him proud.

Low key day, slept in. Did my chores, spent a couple hours weed eating and the cut the grass around the house until it got too hot. Helped the wife with the pool for a bit and then went inside and enjoyed the AC. The whole family went out to dinner and as a father's day special they all behaved like children instead of the young adults they are. 
Yep, in true Chavez fashion we had bickering, hitting, threats and laughing. It really was a lot of fun.

My angel wrote me a book entitled " 52 reasons my daddy is the best "
Feeling a it sheepish about my earlier comments... But it sure is great to be wrong

My oldest son ran off to Florida and got a job at Disneyworld. He sent me this pic and said he found out who his real father is:
I couldn't be prouder.
The other three just hung out with me for the day. They are pretty easy going for teenagers.
