    "Wow! Isn't this nice! Just what I always wanted: a basket of cherry-pomegranate lotions!" Poor Dad. He doesn't stand a chance. No matter what the gift, he needs to appear like it is the absolute greatest gift ever, because no

    Let's get right to the point; I'm a Dad and have been since my first wife, had her first baby, by me. I am also a Grampa and have been ever since one of my children had their first baby. I, probably like many other Dads, can

    When I saw the title of this article I figured this shouldn't be so hard to write.

    "Honey," I called to my spouse. "What's a bad Father's Day gift?"

    "What?"

    "What's a bad Father's Day gift?"

    "A BAD Father's Day gift?!" I wasn't

    What make bad Father's Day gift ideas? Do we really have bad Father's Day gift ideas when things given from the heart are meant to be good - intention-wise, in the least!

    There are no bad Father's Day gifts. If your little three-year-old son gives you a piece of paper with unintelligible scrawls on at while saying, "I made this just for you. Happy Father's Day, Dad", you've just received a very

    As a father of four children, there is no such thing as a bad Father's Day present. Every gift or trinket is wonderful and a true delight to have and behold.
