Father's Day, or is it?

I notice this every Father's Day... mornings, at the Coffee Shop. Dad's coming in with their small child(ren). Mom nowhere in sight.

I understand that Dad and Mom could be divorced or broke up and Dad has the child(ren) for Father's Day.  But i'm talking about the ones that are married or together. And the Dad works out of the home Monday thru Friday or whatever.
If it's Father's Day, why is the Dad up early...coming into the Coffee Shop.... take-out or sit-down...struggling with his small child(ren). I see the exact same thing on Mother's Day.

No, i don't know their arrangements or their business. And it is none of my business. All i know is these men work out of the home all week and it's his day, Father's Day and he is out and about, early morning with small, vocal and active child(dren) buying donuts! He's stuggling to order, while hushing and/or chasing his child(ren).

Wouldn't it be nice of the Mom to take the kids out, get breakfast while the man slept in?  Who's Day is it anyway?

    Your observation is 100% true! But there is something experience teaches us about celebrations: At your own party, you usually get the least fun!
    Because you get make sure everybody else enjoys!
    It's like a law of nature!
