Building Your Relationship on Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to any fathers reading this post.  I spent the morning with my daughter and father. Tonight, I am spending time with my father-in-law.  So, it has been a busy day for fathers' activities.  Fathers deserve 1 day a year in which it is just about them. 

Father's Day not only is a great time to spend with family, but also it is a great opportunity to build on your relationship with your father and kids.  If you don't see your father very often, then this is a great time to connect and catch up.  Since this day is about your father, take it serious and get to know your father better.

At the same time, take this as an opportunity for your kids to get to know you better.  Spend quality time with them so you build on your relationship.  We all get busy so let's try to make this a day that we spend with our fathers and kids.  Work can come later when the kids are in bed. 

Do you have any nice Father's Day stories to share?

Wonderful post Jason! Since you asked for stories... Today, I posted a short story which I discovered a few years ago by W. Livinston Larned called Father Forgets. Every dad (and mom) should read it.

Happy Fathers Day! Here's the link:
