[Fredslist] Parents Day

[Patricia Carabello]

Although I am not a parent myself, I think the changing face of the
American family is a good argument in favor of combining the two
holidays.  There are many children who don't have a mother and a father
in their lives.  Many have only a mother or a father, or 2 same sex
parents.  A combined holiday would provide children with the opportunity
to honor and acknowledge any parental figures in their lives, whether
male, female, biological or not.

Not everyone has parents.  Every one has a biological male and female
component but not parents.  I know many who have either used IVF or
adoption to have a child without a partner.  It's a very diverse world
out there.

	At the risk of being exiled to Hallmark Hell, what do Gothamites
think of combining Mothers Day and Fathers Day into one potent Parents
Day?

I think it is a wonderful idea -- is far more inclusive than what we now
have.

 

Thanks for the suggestion!
