As Father’s Day approaches and messages flood social media to thank dads for all they do for their children, it’s important to remember that dads are deserving of praise year-round. Here are a few things to keep in mind about most dads:
- Dads are not "babysitting" when they watch their children – they are parenting.
- Dads don’t need lists of reminders from moms about how to parent – they, too, know how to raise their kids.
- Dads are not bumbling idiots who burn the dinner and melt diapers in the laundry.
- Most dads are just like most moms – they are trying to be the best parents they can be.
- Dads read to their kids, build pillow and blanket forts, have tea parties and go shopping.
- Dads are equals, and our stories about them should reflect this.
Shower dads with love on Father’s Day, of course. Take them out to brunch or throw a ball around in the yard. But give them credit the other 364 days of the year, too.
Happy Father’s Day, dads!
