Being a dad is not easy. Set aside the old stereotypical dad who provides for the family, today’s father has evolved into a full-time parent. From waking up to the morning alarm clock, to turning into a post-school hour tutor, to even learning how to braid the perfect hair styles for his daughter, today's fathers handle it all.
It takes effort to smash the traditional roles and become equal partners in a chaotic yet wonderful journey called parenting. So, this Father's Day, let’s take a break and raise a toast to the incredible and modern heroes in our lives and cherish moments that will warm our hearts.
TAKE HIM ON A FISHING TRIP
For years, fishing has always been associated with dads. So, why not make that the perfect start to Father’s Day. If you and your dad like fishing, grab on to your fishing rods, carry some bait, a few chilled beers and set out on a trip which you will cherish.
Malcolm Pereira from Britona talks about how his father was instrumental in teaching him to fish. “My father used to love fishing. He taught me how to tie the knots and how to fish. Though we now hardly get the time, this year I have planned to go out with him. Fishing is just a pretext to spend some time doing what we love and connect.”
