My really close friend beca a father, a couple of weeks ago and I want to send them a gift with a special note on it. What do you suggest me to note as a Happy Father's day quote?
Not really a quote, more an observation. Tell him something like happy father's day, the first one doesn't count, because you won't have enough sleep to remember it until the one next year lol.
Newborns don't stop waking up every couple hours until like 6 months along when they'll sleep through the night. Pretty much anything else he wouldn't find funny until a year or two down the line either.
That man is going to be a mess of nerves from new things to worry about, how much shit he has to get done, just keep it light. I almost shot the tenant I had kicked out when he came back just to do a donut because he woke my kid up, tense times indeed.
Hell, I shot a dog with a hunting rifle from my balcony because it kept waking my baby up. This was in the city. Two-four hours a sleep a night for months on end will remove all sanity and rationality from your decision making.
Like it is utter insanity to try to keep a block quiet around you, but I achieved it with tenacity and violence. Also so I could sleep during the day when there weren't contracts.
Maybe just offer him a spot to have a couple beers and nap out every now and then.

+1 yFathers teach their sons and daughters how to navigate the big picture. How to move through the world with grace and care. If you can do that, you've been a success as a dad.
I'm going by my own experience of being fathered. Dad taught me how to change a tire, tune up a car, prepare for a hurricane, paint a house inside and out, nail weatherboards, minor plumbing and electrical work. How things work. How to dress up for a ball, that dancing is as important as an education. Be smart, but also be wise. Keep learning your whole life. Pick some sports you like. Garden. Love music. Tell a dirty joke. Have a sense of humor.
And good fathers support their wives in being good mothers. Parents are a team. If you can show your children that you two work together, you've been a successful couple. Breeds successful children. Tell him good luck!

+1 yCongratulate him and then tell him to try being a more cool father, fuck all that discipline shit, be the first father who tells his kids they can just have a ball and do whatever they want. Don't tell them any shit at all. No, wear your slippers, lift the toilet seat, go to bed, eat all your veges... and on... and on... and on. When I was a kid I seriously thought Mums and Dads are these overgrown giants who are just around to terrorise us kids and give us a hard time for no good reason whatsoever. More strange is I nearly feel the same way today too.

Depends. Did he have a boy or girl.
If a girl, “Congratulations on being a new dad for the first time; now in about 14 or 15 years you need to go purchase a shotgun. Make several references to your marksmanship in the presents of your daughter, or better yet teach her how to use it. Hopefully, she will brag about it at school.”
If he had a boy, “Congratulations on being a dad for the first time; now in about 16 or 17 years find a good lawyer and put him/her on retainer. Remember, if he comes to you about an unwanted pregnancy, get a paternity test before agreeing to child support.”

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him "Father". Lydia Child
A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.

The rewards are immense and immeasurable and priceless, and the most satisfying things that you could ever imagine, but it comes at a price. All of the courage and wisdom that you can imagine…. Then all of the wisdom and courage that is beyond your ability to imagine will be called for in the raising of your precious young gift.
Good luck, you’ll need it.
00 Reply864 opinions shared on Family & Friends topic. Just say "congratulations, old man". You are only supposed to get your dad stuff on Father's Day, or if you are a woman you get your husband something. Since he is neither your father or husband, you aren't supposed to get him anything besides maybe a bottle of booze or a cigar. Anything more than that and he is going to think you want him to be your daddy.

If Father’s Day is about the children and not the father, is Mother’s Day about the children as well? And not the mother?

It is the children that makes Father or Mother. Even in Hallmark Card they talk about what a Father or Mother is to their children. Instead of a quote “Happy Father’s Day” or “Happy Mother’s Day” makes it all about them!

The card that I got for my dad focuses 95% on the father and the other 5% on the father’s children. Not the other way around.

But children were mentioned and that was the only point I was making!
Not a quote. An ode to all the fathers who sacrifice so much for their children

too bitter. and usurped? parents can decide when kids can drive and some parents help a kid by their own car by dividing cost like you pay half and we pay half. many benefits in that suggestion that i read.
