Have our dads let us down so badly that we don’t want to celebrate them on their designated day?

Childhood was about creating magic. The teen years were about academic achievement, getting into the most prestigious college, and developing lasting memories with peers. Nowhere in their parenting priorities was skills building. 

We didn’t know how wonderful it was going to be to have a daughter. 

Those experiences made me compassionate and hard working. Now I’m raising children who have never been without anything they want or need.
