A dad recently asked me, "Wait, it's Mother's Day, not wife's day, right? Am I meant to get my wife a present? I thought it wasĀ just for theĀ kids...?" š š¤
Yes and... no.
Dads, technically you don't have to do anything for Mother's Day. Sure, you can leave it up to the kids to do their best. You can sit on the sidelines and will have done nothing wrong. š¤·āāļø
But dads?
We'reĀ notĀ the bare minimum kind of guys. šŖ
The dads (and mums) that follow us here at Dad Certified, the dads that buy our products, the ones who set aside regular time for Dadventures and Date Nights even when they're busy, the ones who think about the kind of relationship they want with their kids and wife in 20 years' time...
We're here forĀ THOSE DADS!Ā ššš
As parents, we have the privilege and responsibility of teaching our kids how to exist in this world. How to grow up to be kind and good and considerate people. š
And it starts at home. š
It starts with simple things likeĀ how to show appreciation to their mum.šā¤
So no, you don't have to do anything for your wife for Mother's Day. But to those dads, my question would be...
Why don't you WANT TO!? š¤Æš¤š¤·āāļø
Let me paint you a different picture, because I know (if you're reading this) that YOU are NOT the bare minimum kind of dad ššŖ...
A dad (like you) who is involved in making Mother's Day a wonderful memory for his family.
š¤«Little whispers with the kids...
š¤©planning sweet surprises...
āticking off checklists and making menus to cook for Mum...
šøTaking photos together because he knows it's usually Mum behind the camera...
šSweet glances from Mum to Dad throughout the day and little "thank you"s across the room...
I want to beĀ THAT DAD!Ā š¤©šš
I'm pretty sure you do, too.
So if our Making Mum's Day Diary can help you beĀ that dad...Ā if I can make it easier for you to achieve that and to create these lifelong, precious memories with your family...
Well then I'm pretty stoked with my job. ššš
We genuinely hope that theĀ Making Mum's Day DiaryĀ blesses your family and changes your home for the better, just as our other diaries have already for countless families across Australia. ā¤š
