'Save scolding of fathers for another day'
Article here. Excerpt:
'And those discussions have their place – just not on Father’s Day.
We don’t have this problem on Mother’s Day.
Nobody talks about the moms who made poor choices.
Nobody talks about the moms who walk out on their kids or unnecessarily puts them in harm’s way to hold onto a destructive relationship.
Nobody dares to talk about the things moms sometimes get wrong.
For one day, moms are simply celebrated, their importance and sacrifices highlighted and appreciated.
Dads don’t receive the same blanket courtesies on Father’s Day, even though we have 364 other days every year to point out things fathers get wrong.
It took almost six decades after Mother’s Day was recognized to have the United States officially begin acknowledge Father’s Day.'
