When Do You Pass The Father’s Day Torch?

I have two sons, both have two lovely children; when does the Father’s Day celebration officially switch from my house to theirs?

Plans usually are make either on the day before or at best the week before.

Wives, who usually do the domestic social heavy work, are somewhat flummoxed by this one.

I’m an unmarried father and grandfather who’s a little hesitant to push myself into any celebration that is not intended to include me. However, it would be a small slice of heartbreak if it didn’t.

Same text to my two sons:

Hey Guys,
