Happy Father's Day
Happy Father's Day to the estimated 64.3 million fathers out there. I found this information with the US Census Bureau and felt I had to share it.
According to the Bureau for 2008: A special greeting must be made to the 1.8 million single fathers, of whom about 51% are divorced, 25% have never been married, 19% are separated from their child's mother and 5% have been widowed.
Of fathers who have children younger than 6 years old (based on the 2006 numbers):
53% of the fathers eat breakfast with their children.
71% of the fathers each dinner with their children.
On average, children go on 15 or more outings with their father in one month.
66% of children are praised three or more times a day by their fathers.
6 is the average number of times children ages 3 to 5 are read to by their fathers in one week.
Keep up the good work dads! Enjoy your special day, but enjoy your children everyday!
I hope you enjoyed a great day with your children. When drafting a parenting plan, don't forget to include Father's Day as parenting time with dad, which supersedes the regular parenting time.
