Dear old dad doesn含羞草研究社檛 get the same level of celebration as mom does on her special day, according to a study released by RetailMeNot on Tuesday.

The survey found that Father含羞草研究社檚 Day just isn含羞草研究社檛 a big deal to 49 per cent of Canadians. And men are more than a little bet upset about it; 81 per cent believe that Mother含羞草研究社檚 Day outshines Father含羞草研究社檚 Day and 40 per cent of dads are upset when their kids forget about them.

Even when kids do remember to celebrate their dads come June, RetailMeNot found they don含羞草研究社檛 do it to the same degree as they did for mom: on average, kids spend $50 less on dad than they do on mom.

含羞草研究社淒ads typically don含羞草研究社檛 ask for much. In fact, the number one thing they want for Father含羞草研究社檚 Day is a simple dinner at home, indicating they just want to spend time with family,含羞草研究社 said RetailMeNot shopping and trends expert Sara Skirboll. 含羞草研究社淲hy not take this one step further and gift him something that will bring you together, such as a pair of baseball gloves or a GPS for a fun family road trip.含羞草研究社
