So, what on earth took so long for Fathers Day to be a recognized event in the United States? The federal government certainly was opposed to the official creation of Fathers Day for the longest time, despite numerous initial attempts to have a Fathers Day established. For decades, Congress rejected attempts to make Fathers Day an official holiday, but slowly, over that time, that sentiment changed as the role of fathers evolved.
