Father's Day

This is an opinion column. I got an early Father's Day surprise from my oldest son. A box of vintage treats from the '60s and '70s. Thoughtful.

It’s OK. It’s enough to know those kids are out there, and OK, and I am their dad. If I didn’t know better I’d say they listened to their mom and me. They had “Best Dad Ever” mugs to go with my shirt, but how many lies can you tell yourself? Because I see it in them. They can speak with sharp tongues sometimes, but they are not afraid to use their voices. Sometimes I wonder if my advice to them is even relevant in such a world. I’ve come to believe it is. But then you watch those little bundles get older and start to build families of their own in a world scarier than anything my generation knew. They long for a world of fairness and stand for that in their own ways. I hope they picked up on that along the way. Which means you’ve gotta be careful about what you say and do. Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in the court of life.

It's part of the Grand Slam of summer holidays. Father's Day has a special place in the hot-weather Big Four celebration rotation.

For McElwee, the emphasis is a little different. The real “lucky” ones got to see us play a Little League game. McElwee is a Hagerstown man who suffered a brain injury that basically sidelined him from the Dad game. Back then, dads enjoyed the pageantry of it all. In reality, he’d rather be sitting in an air-conditioned house, with a beer, relaxing on what was supposed to be his day. Dad’s day sits at the intersection of Grand Slam events. It might have been more fun in the old days when grilling took work. It was more celebrating — than being celebrated for — “being” a dad. Make that “Poof!”) I come from a time when dads were there and we tried to celebrate in “Leave It to Beaver-Brady Bunch” fashion. Grill innovations have made caveman urges an any-day event. Father’s Day has a special place in the hot-weather Big Four celebration rotation.

He added that although life has since “become kinder” to him on the financial side, he has had his share of challenges since becoming a father. “There are some expenses that are just not negotiable, such as baby formula and diapers, so when the time came, I obviously had to step up and play that role diligently and make sure he is well taken care of, financially and emotionally,” Sithole said. “I know there are a lot of fathers who are raising their own children. He wanted to rectify his father’s mistakes by being present in his son’s life.

Father's Day took place on Sunday, 19 June - so the two fathers in Darren Maule and Sky Tshabalala celebrated the special day with their families.

Father's Day can be far more than just grilling with the family and a handmade card. Whatever your dad and his friends enjoy doing but rarely get the opportunity to do so should be your focus. But if they're open to something, it might just be what the group as a whole would most enjoy for the day. Set up a dad date if your dad is the social type but rarely has time for activities outside the home or workplace. Having the whole family agree to participate in an adventure, not in the regular routine, could be especially meaningful to your dad. But after all, it's one day a year, so just make sure the ladder is secure — and let him fiddle. From father-son lookalike contests to entries that require you to write about your dad's qualities, you can show off your dad in a public space. A wide variety of local contests can be a fun way to celebrate your dad. At the bare minimum, you can find that embarrassing family picture of your dad and share it with the world. But what if there was a way to make the day more memorable or productive for your dad? The trick to making your dad's Father's Day a little more special than usual is by doing something that's appreciated or unexpected. For example, Ace Hardware recently announced a contest in which the winner receives a custom-made pair of grilling shoes and a grill.

A photo of Prince William smiling with his children on a family holiday in Jordan was released Sunday to celebrate Father's Day.

William's arms are wrapped around his eldest son Prince George, dressed in a camo-print t-shirt, and Princess Charlotte, who is wearing a navy and white chequered dress. The youngest, Prince Louis, is seen atop his father's shoulders in a navy and white striped t-shirt. The photo shows a grinning Prince William dressed in a casual olive-colored shirt and khaki shorts against a rocky, desert backdrop.

It's late, but not too late. Hurry up and snag a killer gift on these smartwatches, headphones, and more.

The New Wayfarer has slightly smaller lenses and is less canted forward, so Pop can have all the style in a sleeker package. If Dad wants to give takeout the boot and get into cooking, this 17-piece set will form a solid basis for a kitchen loadout. There are several different settings for different brewing needs, and it won't take up too much room on the counter either. This basic e-reader earned second place in our guide to the Best Kindles. It lacks the page-turn buttons and modern charging capabilities of the more expensive Paperwhite, but the 2019 Kindle is still a capable little gadget. From frying and sauce pans of varying sizes to a three-piece nylon cooking tool set, he'll have everything he needs to become the household's newest chef. And it does all of that at a budget price when many espresso machines cost a pretty penny. The Totallee is one of our favorite iPhone cases because it offers a bump in scratch and drop protection over a caseless phone, but at only 0.02 inches thick it's not chunky enough to make Dad feel like he's carrying a brick. It includes an iPhone case that allows Dad to mount all three lenses that come with the kit. The Go Portal ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) has a 10-inch display screen and can double as a Bluetooth speaker, but its standout feature is the smart camera automatically zooms and pans during video calls to make it look like there's a personal camera crew at work. Send Dad a digital photo frame to remind him of all the good times you've had together. If Dad has a hard time falling asleep or waking in the morning, a sunrise clock could be just what he needs to ease his way into or out of bed. This model offers all the characteristic Strat chime and brightness with three single-coil pickups and a maple neck and fretboard.
