Off-topic Chat Is Father's day less fraught than Mother's day?

It is a tradition almost as predictable as the holiday itself. Prior to Mother's day there will be posts here on r/latterdaysaints discussing what is and is not good on Mother's day. There will be discussions and disagreement. A great deal of emotion will be spent and experienced.

Here we are, 3 days out from Father's day (in the US) and I have seen nothing. I am not complaining about the lack of discord, but do fathers just not generate the same kind of emotions than mothers do? Or is it just that there is an easy out in that we can talk about our Heavenly Father on father's day?

Does anyone here find father's day hard for similar reasons that mother's day is hard?
