 Happy Fathers Day from your Ex
Last month I wrote a blog about Happy Mothers Day from your Ex. And I had quite the discussion about it from many of you. Many of the men were not in favor of such a thing.
Well it is now time for the women to rise to the challenge.
We need to recognize our Ex on Fathers Day. He is still the father of our children. I know you are thinking, he didn’t recognize me on Mothers Day, why would I do such a thing for him.
I can’t stand him!!!
He is a jerk!!!
He doesn’t care if we tell him Happy Fathers Day!!
And these all might be very true, but you are not doing this for him. You are doing this for you and your children. You are making a choice to do the right thing. It has been called, “Taking the high road” Remember you are setting the example for your children to follow. Make it one you can be proud of.
If your Ex Told you Happy Mothers Day
Now if your Ex told you Happy Mothers Day and you are not planning on telling him the same.
Shame on You!
I am not saying you have to buy him a fancy gift or do something really special. You just have to acknowledge the day.
Send him a text message
Send him an email
Send him a fax.
Put a note on his truck
Make it simple
"Happy Fathers Day, I know you love your kids"
That is all you have to say. Do not expect to receive any kind of acknowledgement. Then you know you are doing it for the right reason.
On a personal note:
Today my girls and I were shopping, and we went by the Card section and Kenzy said to me, “Mom can we get dad a card, I will pay you back” I turned to her and said, “Yes, go get your dad a card, and then we will pick him out something little” Her and the little one then went and picked out a card from each of them including their brother that was not even with us. But they could not find a little present, so we went to another store, where they each found him a small present. And as we were walking back to the car Kenzy said to me, “Thank you Mom, I know he would not do that for you.” I said “I know, but I am not like that and I don’t want you to be that way. He is your dad, and it is supposed to be a special day for him.”
“Happy Father’s Day Jim, I know you love your Kids, and they love you. Hope you have a great day.”
