Gone are the days when fathers are boxed into a certain archetype, usually a masculine authoritarian figure who has control over the household. It’s 2020 and it’s time to expel this traditional idea and consider a different perspective. 

As we move towards a progressive way of celebrating this year’s Father’s Day, let us remember that anyone can be a father. They do not necessarily have to be a paternal father or have “your” own blood, do not necessarily have to be male, and are not just or should not be just an authoritarian figure keen on controlling most of the household. 

Instead, let’s celebrate the idea that fathers can also do the groceries, household chores, or cook for the family. During this crisis, we saw how our fathers took charge in listing down and buying for our homegrown needs, how they’d risk going out and lining up at grocery stores to make sure we don’t run out of essential supplies. This crisis showed us how our fathers can also be considered nurturers and not just merely a provider. 

Let’s celebrate the idea that fathers can take care of the kids while their partner works and how they do not feel threatened by the success of their partners. We saw how our fathers became a support system for the entire family. Our fathers can be mothers too and one does not necessarily have to be male or female to be considered a dad. 

We live in a progressive world that has no specific template on what it means to be a father except that they can be caring, loving, and ready to nourish the family. With Fathers Day Celebration 2020 just right around the corner, we know how much you want to give your daddy a break from all the grocery shopping, errands, and stress brought by this crisis.
