Why do single mothers always make fathers day about them?

Why do single mothers always make fathers day about them??

You don't see single fathers jumping up and down shouting "happy mothers day to all the single fathers fulfilling both roles"

lol, it's just between the two of us - not the same at all - we don't announce it for the world to see.

Well you have on a very public forum, how lame!

My kids are older now but when younger I needed to be sensitive to the fact they didn’t have a good relationship with their father, certainly DS2.
I didn’t and don’t make it about me.
Can you give examples OP because none of us seem to know what you’re talking about!

He’s probably a stay at home pet dad, claiming pip for his pets

You've just posted it on social media, though. So.

Also, looking after a dog does not deserve recognition in the same way that lone parenting a child does. Male or female, doing a great job lone parenting your kids deserves the kudos. Cuddling, feeding, and walking Fido does not.

What are you talking about?

I posted it in response to something, not the same as just outright announcing it.

Now that's funny!

😂😂😂

Ooooooo I see.
All makes sense now.
Bore off…..

I wasn't aware that they did. I was a single parent and Father's Day used to pass me buy without me even noticing.

Errr...do we?

I couldn't even tell you when father's day is, and I haven't ever celebrated it, for me or anyone else.

Silly generalisation.

I don’t actually know any single fathers, but I know lots of single mothers - I guess that’s because there are a lot more of them, and because of that you hear more from them. If they’re doing both roles then they should be absolutely shouting it from the roof tops because they’re doing an amazing, and really really hard job.

I hope you’re not one of those men who says, ‘When’s International Men’s Day?’ on International Women’s Day, are you? (It’s the 18th November in case you are).

And they're posting it in response to it being Mother's/Father's Day.

So, if you're not a parent (but have a dog who 'gives' you cards!) how exactly is a woman (or man) who is a lone parent, celebrating both days on their social media, pissing in your Weetabix?

No, you’re funny. We’re not laughing with, we’re laughing at you. Really loudly 😘😘

I can't even picture what you mean. What do they do?

“I’m a man and want to tell women off, specifically single mums. Where can I go? Daily Mail comments section? Reddit? Manosphere blogs? No, I really need a big audience to shame them properly… MUMSNET!”

and… scene.

Don’t think this is the case, but if they do it’s probably because the ‘father’ has buggered off doing his own thing, moving on and building a new life while they have been left has do do all the daily care and doesn’t have time to do anything else. His token every other weekend/ day a week going to macdonalds or soft play performance parenting doesn’t cut the mustard! Not saying that’s always the case but the OP is clearly not a single mother to ask such a silly question.

really? I’ve brought both my kids up on my own and have never once seen any single mum say anything about Father’s Day? How very odd. Are you sure you’re in the right chat groups?

I don't care, I got a laugh out of it.

I make sure we do something for ex and know dd wants to do we’ve been to home bargains and got card cake funny toilet roll biscuits cushion chocolate

then similar for my dad with card cake pen beer opener/mat fudge photo frame

ex doesn’t do anything for me. I give her money and she goes shopping for me while im at the end of the aisle and she chooses stuff for me which she loves and wants to do

she was upset the first year we split as he did nothing - have no money. Not together. Was his answer

Ahhhh but you do care don’t you sweetheart. Its ok. We’ll stop laughing at you…..soon

Go back to your women hating sub Reddit’s mate.

Oh don’t hurt the poor baby’s ego! He came here to get it stroked by some skanky single mums on benefits. He’s fragile!

Oh I know you weren't being rude. I suppose I was trying to explain that some of us aren't doing this by choice. I'd love to go back to work but can't until I can get DS into childcare. When I was pregnant I was hoping that me and my ex would build a life together, but that didn't happen, and I had to move to a different town when DS wasn't even two months old. (Not because of my ex but for housing.)

Nice reaching. You tried.
