Entry
Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there and a huge "thanks" to all the moms, teachers and kids for being the ones who "really make it happen". Being a father of two (3 and 6) I was struck yesterday by all the thought that goes into preparing for this holiday and quietly remorseful that I haven't put equal effort into Mother's Day, various birthdays and at least one anniversary.
Clearly, teachers had been thinking about this for weeks and had concocted all sorts of art projects designed to make grown men weep (I love daddy because...). Then, during lunch or dinner, family after family walk into restaurants or arrive at homes to share a meal, laugh and just spend time together due to plans made and reservations booked by moms.
I don't mean to insult anyone but I think, in general, mom's do Father's Day better than dad's do Mother's Day.

Rob, I couldn't agree more. I was exhausted when it was all over and the only thing that moved this mom to tears was seeing my son in a Red Sox shirt.

Yay! Thanks for admitting what we all know. Moms do more. :-) From what I've seen, it's because men just don't care about these little holidays like we do. (My husband had never heard of a push present until I told him about it--he's not alone--and I still didn't get one.)
That said, my husband is a wonderful husband and father...just like my dad. He's very thoughful and considerate and goes out of his way for me and for the kids. Regardless of gender, I think we all just want a little recognition once in a while.
