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"

This 💯
I don't get this thread

Presumably you display the card? Why today? What have you seen? It is almost a year since father's day so surely nothing recent? Am I right in saying your post is in the run up to fathers day to let women know that as a man (and non parent that recieves his own congratulations on fathers day) that this is how you expect women to behave?

I agree with PPs though, I've never in my life seen a single mother actually do this.

they don't

HTH

Never noticed this myself.

Because you are not a dog mother or father unless you are a dog yourself. Having a pet s nothing like having a child.

Because you're not the dog's parents?

Aside from the glaringly obvious that it's single mother's who are more likely to be fulfilling both roles, if single father's aren't making Mother's Day about them then what on earth has that got to do with the women who do wish to celebrate both?

No one's stopping them!

You'll be asking when International Men's Day is next!

I don't really think you do luv.

This ffs

Ok then 🤨

I'm a single mother, I know plenty of single mothers and no one does that.

Kmdt

🤣 I alway find this strange , a mother can’t be a father? we have Mother’s Day . Even if the father isn’t around you are still a mother .

Ahhhh I think we’ve upset him. He’s not been back for a while. Please everyone remember to be kind. Even to little boys 😴

I’m a single mum. I’ve never made Father’s Day about me. Every Father’s Day I send my children’s dad a card and a gift from them even though he doesn’t have much to do with them. We don’t make a big deal of mother’s day in my house. We make a big deal out of birthdays but that’s it really.
I do understand the sentiment though that if mums are doing both jobs or dads are doing both jobs then if they want to celebrate why not.

Pleased someone else has noticed.

Ditto

And I always use mother's day as an excuse to buy myself a present!

If the parent doing 2 jobs why can’t she be awarded on both days?

Symbolically, if it needs to be completely literal, step & foster parents should be excluded too.

Hats off to them if they did same in mothers day. Not easy being a single parent no matter if you a mum or dad.
My sons dad did absolutely nothing.
I could have cut him off etc but im better than that

I have known quite a few single mothers, never noticed this at all

Seriously, fuck off. Buying a dog is not the same as being a foster parent.

What an odd post. Comes across bitter.

They don't, not the ones I know anyway. They enjoy mothers' day and on father's day might do nothing, or take flowers to the grave in one case, but none make it about themselves.
