People never really saw the same values a father has compared to a mother because unlike mothers, Fathers does not have the same sentimental appeal that mothers have. As years pass, many people started to honor their fathers because of their bravery in war or in their family, a little give back for all the hard work. In 1910, the holiday became statewide in Washington; In 1924, father's day is starting to be rcognized as a holiday. During those time, people wanted to merge father's day and mother's day instead, but the government did not approve.

Restaurants offer discounts to those who are fathers, or even free meals or drinks. Back then, the upbringin of Father's Day was simple going to church and saying a few words. But now, it is capitalized. The value of the holiday doesn't change, No, It is important to know where things came from and how it evolved so that one can see things differently from others.

Fathers are hardworkers, Laborers, and there is also a hint of a mother in them. Mothers do have a stronger love for their child, but fathers have a different story. It is always important to remember that a father is the person who will fight battles with their child, a person who does the dirty work so the mother would not have to. A Father plays a lot of different roles, sometimes an astronaut, a spy, a superhero. So remember, to who ever is holding the father figure in the house, greet them a Happy Father's Day. Even if that person is also the mother of the house.
