What Dads Really Want This Father’s Day

A kayak and a Jeep.

Disclaimer – these are some wide generalizations and a little satirical. I’m incredibly lucky to have a supportive partner who just handed me some avocado toast for the breakfast I forgot to make.

But also:

  • A shelf in the bathroom with products that aren’t from the Christmas before you moved into the new house 4 years ago.
  • A solid 2 hours, undisturbed in the bathroom. We’re busy, ok. Don’t come in.
  • Fewer questions. Sometimes we just do things. For no reason.
  • Quiet while we’re driving. It’s hard for us to concentrate sometimes.
  • Ask us how we’re feeling and really listen, not just as a quick conversation starter.

Now that I’m thinking about it:

  • Someone to clean the car. There are way too many sticky surfaces and fishy crackers in there.
  • A haircut. I know I look like a mess. I’m just trying to cover up the thin parts.
  • Some kind of burger holder that stops me from ending up with just bun and sauce and no burger.
  • A few new Netflix shows would be cool. Weren’t we meant to be getting one new movie every week?
  • Oh, I don’t know, some ice cream?
  • A nap. A really long nap.

  • To feel like we’re doing enough as a Father
  • For our ‘fun facts’ and little lessons to be heard
  • To share a passion or hobby with our children
  • To feel valued and appreciated
  • I really want that ice cream from before.
