Why is it during Mother's Day no one ever thanks the single dads that have raised their kids alone, but during Father's Day single...?

Moms are thanked for pulling double duty.

Every year I read on Father's Day how great single mothers are and how that day is also for them. I feel it kind of takes away from Father's Day.

What are your thoughts?

    As a single dad with my kids 70% of the time and no family around to help or watch them so I can run errands, I totally agree. Single dads are forgotten and overlooked too frequently.

    I did see somebody post a happy mother's day weekend post on Facebook with a shout out to both single dads and women that want to be mothers, but can't. I saw this yesterday and it really caught me eye because its so rare.

  • I never heard that Father's Day was for single Moms too. I think Moms get celebrated on their day and Dads on theirs. So there. My opinion is correct. LOL

    Because most men don't feel the need to be recognized on a day designated for a woman. Father's Day isn't enough? Quit being an insatiable attention seeker.

    Moms get taken for granted too. Not all mother child relationships are good. After all you do for them and no credit given. I know it sucks from personal ecperience.
