For all the ones that do both jobs on these special days

This special Fathers Day wish

That comes with love to you

Brings warm and heartfelt thanks

For all the thoughtful things you do

It also comes to let you know

You mean more to me each day

To everyone your lives have touched

In such a loving way.

happy fathers day

On Mother's Day there was a thread about Dads who are single parents raising their children alone.

I see so this is tit for tat? some sort of revenge..

I think it's quite mean spirited..

I think it's more about Mothers who also take on the dad role, as they bring the child up singlehandedly. There was a thread to celebrate single dad's with full custody too on Mother's day

I’m not saying it’s tit for tat they are your words.

I’m just pointing out that the same thing happened on Morhers Day. You’ve come out in full attack mode ..... not unusual on here of course.

There is was no mean spirit intended and there is a similar thread for men on Mother’s Day. As there was last year on both days. They are to show recognition and respect for single parents who have to be both parents. Parenting is the most difficult job on earth and hard enough with 2 ppl, doing it alone must be extremely stressful. I don’t know you or your situation but surely you can empathise with that and see the thread was a kind gesture?

My Mother is the most important person in my life and I try and appreciate her each day in one way or another..

However, today makes me realise how important my Dad was and will be thinking of him on this special day....Fathers day.

In your opinion. Others will disagree. There are single Mother's who have to take on both roles, to raise a well adjusted child. There are also single dads who have to take on both roles for the same reason. It's not a gender issue, but a role issue. It's not harming you personally, so why does it matter? Just let people celebrate the day, in the way they see fit. If someone singlehandedly raises a child, i believe they do deserve to be appreciated for two days out of 365. They don't have the luxury of someone sharing in the upbringing of their child, after all. You are welcome to disagree with that, but that doesn't make your statement correct. It's just your opinion, like mine is my opinion.

I’m all for that.

That and allocated birthdays so that they don’t all bunch up or I forgot one. I have 12 members of my family so rather convinent but ny suggestion would be that on the 1st of each month it’s someones birthday- financially easier and I’m going to remember that.

What about all the dads who are both mum and dad, for whatever reason. There are two of us in my street. It’s Father’s Day for one day a year, let us enjoy it.

After thinking about this, I've changed my stance. There is happy fathers day threads to dad's and a happy fathers day thread to mother's who fill the role.

I'm ok with that. Officially it's still fathers day, it hasn't changed anything I'm doing with my kids today.

Happy fathers day to everyone
