Mum's the word: Happy Father’s Day to all the men creating wonderful memories

In my experience there are as many exhausted fathers covered in splashes of yoghurt dealing with tantrums in the zoo, parks and playgrounds of Ireland as there are mom’s! Happy Father’s Day to all the men creating wonderful memories

Father’s Day is this weekend and it is a lovely time to reflect on those men who guided us, shaped us and loved us to the core. It is also a special time to celebrate the dads of our own kids. Plus in many cases a time to honour how different the role of the modern day dad is to previous generations.

The role of ‘dad’ and the expectation of fathers has changed so so much. This is highlighted for me in conversations with my friends who are now fathers and who talk about how different they are with their kids than their fathers were with them. More is expected of dads and in the case of my friends, 100% of them have welcomed this.
