@bperrier, that's so great that you do that!

I'm a teacher and I tell kids that Father's Day and Mother's Day are celebrating the PEOPLE who love and care for you.

for 30 years in my household we've celebrated father's day with our mom. gifts, cards and a cake every year. it's better to celebrate then just throw ourselves a pity party for our father that wasn't around.

My father wasn't around much so we always celebrated both with my mom nothing wrong with showing a little appreciation to a single mother on Father's Day

I would tell her but I don't. although my SD isn't around she always was married to someone. she's been married 7 times. Only time I tell her is between Those years she's single..

that's great! I bet she appreciates it very much!

personally, I tell my mom both mothers and fathers day Happy ____ day because she was the only one there for me. My father doesn't exist. My mom had to play both roles and she still some how made sure I felt that soft side as well
