When you dad decides to never show up, Never do anything for you, or just not be there when you need him, you start to not see him as a dad anymore. My "dad" only does things with me and my brother because it makes him feel good about himself. OP I can relate.
I'd suggest spending time with your dad rather wanting gifts from him, my dad died in 2011 and I regret not spending enough time with him. Appreciate what you have in life.
