"Happy Father's Day" to FATHERS 😒

I'm sorry, but I am not looking forward to the "Happy Father's Day to my mom" posts...

Don't get me wrong, I get it... there are so many supermom's who had (or chose) to parent without their child(ren)'s biological father... Here's my issue: By wishing a mother "Happy Father's Day", it plays into the patriarchal idea that being an amazing mother is not enough. Why can't being an amazing mother be a good enough title? Why must being a "mother and a father" define the ultimate level of motherhood?

How often do you hear fathers getting shout outs on Mother's Day? It's rare because even if he's doing it "alone", being an excellent dad is enough. Just like being called "Mr. Mom" is likely to be taken as insult, I think it is time for mother's to say enough with the "Happy Father's Day to my mother" stuff.

Celebrate your village year round. Mother's and Father's have separate days for a reason. If your biological parent wasn't there, celebrate someone who cared... Don't make a mockery of motherhood, being a supermom is enough!
