Sounds like you're being taken for granted a little bit to me and maybe a "wake up", "take notice" is in order. You obviously have a nice family so I'm sure it's unintentional, nevertheless, it's happening. Make your feelings known to your wife. I'm sure she has no idea how she's neglected your feelings and will be more than thankful that you've shared how you feel about something that is so important to you. Also, you don't mention the age of your kids, so I don't know how to respond, except but by sharing how my son really didn't start celebrating Father's day until he was about twenty. He was a typical kid, totally scattered brain and preoccupied with just being a kid until then. Every since, though, he's made a big deal about spending a couple of days with me and buying a gift every Father's day. He makes an effort to make it a special time for me.
Make your feelings known, it will get better.
