Single Moms Need to Stop With The Father's Day Stuff

I noticed the past few years single moms want to claim Father's Day as a day for them also. They claim it in addition to Mother's Day. This is dead wrong on all scales. First of all a woman can never be a man so that's out. Second you already have Mother's Day so stay with that. And third there are plenty of Dads out there who support and love their children. These men are given the short end of the stick by the Mother.  Now I come from a single mom home and I love my mother and did what I could for her on Mother's Day. But even my mom would admit she could never be my Father. She did all she could for my brother and I and I would not be here if it wasn't for my mom. But as much as my Father was not in my life growing up I am still not here without him either. It's time for the women especially in the black community to stop dissing black men and celebrate the ones that are good men.  The media wants you to believe there are few of us out there, but there are more good black fathers than you might think. Father's Day is for men and it's just that. These single moms need to step back and let us men get honored for a change. If your child's father is around let your children honor them as Fathers. If they are not then chill and honor your own Fathers and let that child honor their grandfather. Until women get the equipment of men you can never be a Father. You can be a Mother and do your best to put your child around positive men. And yes there are a lot of positive influences out there that are men. And I for one will not let single mom's take away my day as a Dad. The day that both my kids were born are the 2 best days of my life. I love and honor my children and I am blessed to have both of them show love to me on Father's Day. Single moms get a grip and sit Father's Day out. This is my rant for today. God Bless everyone and Peace to the Crea tures.
