FATHERS DAY AND THE CHANGING WORLD OF PARENTING…

Last Sunday was father’s day here in the UK and I overheard one of my children lamenting how he feels sorry for some of his friends.

“Why?” I wondered gingerly reading the card the young guys had written. One of the best things about being a father nowadays is the fact that you get written feedback from your kids. Feedback in the sense that the father’s day cards – readily packaged- have humorous lines like “Wear this card to show your position of authority in the family”- plus a badge jeering- “I am the Boss.”

A joke; because that kind of culture is no longer promoted in this part of the world. It’s normal to see males constantly ridiculed in TV adverts.
