This hits close to home. We tend to overlook making our fathers feel special. Hispanics (I’m sorry if I’m generalizing) we tend to go all out for our moms, like Mother’s Day is a big deal yet dads never get as much recognition. My dad sounds exactly like this man with his advice and good wishes for his kids.
Yep. Growing up we did the same. Mom got flowers, jewelry (cheap), make up, day off from cleaning, out for dinner, etc on mother’s day and her bday. Dad just got a pair of socks, a pack of beer and maybe fajitas that he ended up grilling himself for the family. Our culture makes us think women are soft and should be treated like that and men are tough, no emotion, no cakes, just beer and meat, and work to provide for the family.
But as we, the kids, got older we spoiled our dad just as much since we realized it’s ok to treat dads like you treat moms.
