Every year, I hear the same complaint: Mother's Day gets the royal treatment while Father's Day feels like an afterthought.
There's some truth to that. Moms often get a full day of brunches, gifts and family activities, while dads are handed a tie, a pair of socks or a new tool for the latest household project. In my family, I've always tried to make sure both of my parents get celebrated in ways that actually reflect who they are.
