It's my son's first father's day and his father is playing happy families with his new girlfriend and her three kids. He has only seen my wee boy four times since he was born 11 months ago.
I'm finding it pretty hard today. This isn't how it should be. Think I'll stay in today so I don't get upset by all the happy families out and about. |

I don't know if Kels is around today, but she is treating herself on Father's Day (or actually I think her older (primary/intermediate) daughters might be) since she's doing two jobs. Single parenting isn't easy, treat yourself to something special for doing two jobs  -------------  |

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I grew up with just my mum and we always celebrated Fathers Day for her as well as Mothers Day. Set a precedent now I reckon! You are doing two jobs, good on you and what a lucky son to have such a great mum.
