Dealing with Father's day as a co-parent

3 years ago by Magrath to c/dadsplain

Just thought I'd throw this out there to see how single father's are dealing with Father's day as a co-parent.

I didn't get to see my daughter today because it wasn't my weekend. I could've changed but I don't like changing up the schedule with my ex. My daughter will have something made for me from daycare and I'll get it from her next weekend. Father's day has never been a big deal for me, even less since my father passed a few years ago. It's been just another normal day for me.

Feel free to share your experiences of how Father's day went for you.

I've never celebrated Father's Day (I had a shitty dad and it wasn't part of family tradition anyway). My kid's too young to know what's going on, but I did get a card from the daycare. It was more a day to treat myself a little, even if it was one of my weeks. So we went to the hardware store.

I'd like to make it more of a thing down the road but it'll probably have to be other family doing something nice for me. That's years away though.
