What Father’s Day Means to This Single Mom
In the last few years, there has been a trend to want to celebrate single moms along with Dads on Father’s Day.
As a single mom, I do acknowledge the double role I play – and acknowledge the same role is played by single dads.
However, it is my opinion that Father’s Day is for Father’s just as Mother’s Day is for mothers because, though many of us do double duty as a parent, a single mom cannot BE a dad or a dad figure; a single dad cannot BE a mom.
As much as we try – as much as a society we try to say there isn’t a difference really in how men do things and how women do things – there are big differences.
