As a single mom, we play mom and dad everyday so why shouldn't we be recognized on Father's Day? We most definitely should! Not to take away from the dads out there that wonderful because I do have friends that are wonderful dads. Some single moms are by choice, some are forced into it by the father's choice and some are thrust into it by a horrible tragedy but at the end of the day we are still Single Moms that are Single Dads too. Single moms on a daily basis do the duty of both a mom and dad. We do all the cooking, all the cleaning, homework helper, bathtime, playtime, disciplinarian and everything else a parent must do times 2. We also get the joys of the fun times that the dads don't get to experience like special cuddle time, boo boo kissing and special dates that only a mommy and child can have. So we play only be one single mommy but we are both mom and dad in action so Happy Father's Day to all the single mommies!
I completely agree! I was raised by a strong single Mum and I wish her a Happy Father's day every year because growing up she was both Mum and Dad.
