Ever Wondered Why Fathers' Day Does Not Get The Same Attention As Mothers' Day?

Fathers Day is a day for children to show their love and appreciation to their fathers. However it often seems that individuals pay more attention to Mothers' Day than Fathers' Day. We all know mothers are important and children share a special bond with their mothers but aren't fathers important too?

When it's close to Mothers' Day the pharmacies, stores and vendors on the streets have dozens of baskets for sale. Now, I am sure this Fathers' Day weekend some persons won't even remember about Fathers' Day on Sunday, June 15. The pharmacies, stores and street sides are not flooded with baskets and gifts. Why is this so? Even Valentines' Day gets more recognition than Fathers' Day.

I know people will argue about dead-beat fathers who are not living up to their responsibilities, but all fathers are not the same. There are some fathers who take very good care of their children. When the mothers are not around they have to assume that responsibility as well.

We at YardFlex would just like to wish all the reliable fathers who know they play a proactive role in their children's life a Happy Fathers' Day! We hope this day will be a memorable one for all you fathers and we hope that you continue to support and care for your children. As for you dead-beats, you all need to start living up to your responsibilities.

Happy Fathers Day!

The main reason is due to the way we look at fathers. If you even look at stars they never make songs about their fathers and some of them were raise by their fathers. The father is just the financial supporter of the family on some people's eyes but without a father a child can go the wrong route but for some odd reason we don't get the same appreciation. My father was a positive person in my life and he taught me how to treat females correctly and have respect for them therefor i'm doing the same. My children and wife never let's fathers day past without making me feel important. The only way fathers day will have the same importance as mothers day is if the mothers show the same love they get on their day.

most people don't like are even care for the person who punish them. in most household, the men is the punisher, and the mother while almost always on the fathers side gets to be the hypocrite parent. most mother hugging and kiss the child after a proper scolding...giving the child the illusion, they had nothing to do with it....this draw the mother closer to the child and help draw a wedge between, the father and the child...after awhile, the mother is seen as a loving and caring person, and the father is seen as a uncontrollable beating machine.

You are so right when you say that Mother's day get more hype than father's day. At public school(primary in JA) they have plant sale, jewelry sale, all kinds of sale for the kids to make a purchase prior to Mothers day. When father's day rolls around, there is NOT One sale going on.

The matriarchy is upon us. The feminists seeking the downfall of patriarchy has done a good job demonizing the father figure. Most women today are influenced by feminism so they have nothing positive to say about fathers. Down with the patriarachy!. Father's Day will be greatly celebrated only when the men's organisations begin to proliferate and male pride is restored. What song did Queen Ifrica wrote for daddy?
