Responding When You Are Not a Father
Sometimes people incorrectly assume that most adults have children. Perhaps every man that walks into a church on Father's Day is greeted with “Happy Father's Day.”
However, sometimes it's easier to say “Thank You” rather than explain to a stranger that you do not have any children. On the other hand, if you say you are not a father, perhaps they will stop wishing people they don't know a “Happy Father's Day.”
Here are a few ways to respond, where you can politely correct them if desired. Including “Thank you” recognizes their good intentions before you correct them.
• Thank you, but I'm not a father.
• Thank you. However, I'm only a dog dad/cat dad.
• Oh, Thank you. I enjoy being an uncle but do not have any kids myself.
• Thank you for thinking of me. However, I do not have any children.
• Thanks; maybe someday I will be a father.
The Baldwin County School District would like to wish all the fantastic fathers out there a wonderful Father's Day!
There is always a reason to celebrate Dads, however this particular weekend is the best day of them all—Father’s Day. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 20th, and it is a celebration and acknowledgment of the contributions fathers make to their families. Fathers play critical roles in the lives of children. They offer guidance, wisdom, support and love throughout a child's life. There are many amazing dads making sacrifices every day to give their kids a good life. It’s those qualities and many more that make fathers the heroes of our hearts.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Fathers and Father figures for doing so much for your children and for Baldwin County schools throughout the year. And to all our BCSD employees who are Fathers, thank you for putting the same effort and care you give your own children in the work you do for our students. You have helped create a secure and stable school environment for our students by continuously serving as an extension of a supportive father figure in their lives outside of the home. And to those who have lost dads and will be spending this Father's Day without them, our hearts go out to you and you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Father's Day Wishes: Just like your mom, your dad too has so much influence over your life. The contribution of a father in shaping the life of a child is not negligible at all. Fathers are the ones who put their lives on the line just make sure their kids and families stay well and happy. Father’s Day (June 21, 2022) offers you a chance to acknowledge all the sacrifice and compromise your father has made to bring a smile on your face. This is why they must be shown some love and appreciation on Father’s day! They deserve to know how much they mean to the family.
