So it’s Mother’s Day! Now what?!
Do single fathers celebrate Mother’s Day as well? Being the one who also assumes the role of the mother in the house.
Well… yes and no, I guess.
Yes because, who would your children greet when they do not have their mother around? And it’s not really surprising that other people who realize your situation also greet you a Happy Mother’s Day, right?
But that’s as far as the celebration goes… in greetings only.
Seriously now, have you seen a family, with only a father present going out on Mother’s Day?
And what about promos, discounts and freebies given by shopping malls, restaurants, fast food outlets and department stores during Mother’s Day? Can a father approach the personnel concerned and say:
“Excuse me, I am really a single father. Theoretically, I also play the role of the mother in the house. Can I avail of your promo for this day?”
Expect a wide-eye reaction, at least, for your inquiry.
Actually, I haven’t tried that yet. Maybe I should. I wonder what would be the reaction that I’ll get?
Anyway, while I don’t see the point, I really don’t see anything wrong either. Of a single father celebrating the day with his kids… even if it’s only for the sake of the children.
To all the mothers… and all single fathers included… Happy Mother’s Day!
