I'm so sorry you had a crappy father's day. I think a lot of times Dads just get taken for granted. Maybe it's because it used to be that mom was the nurturing one and dad was just a guy in a chair with a newspaper (even though he was out winning the bread). I think now that a lot of dads are taking on a more nurturing role, in addition to providing for their families, there are a lot more expectations for some recognition. We just haven't all caught up in our thinking.
Anyhow, I second the suggestion that you mention this to your wife. As a society we don't make a huge deal out of father's day the way we do out of mother's day, so it could just be that she didn't realize you craved the recognition.
Best wishes to you. And be proud of taking care of your family.
