Father's Day Proclamation and Various Declarations

Announcing that Latvia will recognize and celebrate a "father's day," Children and Family Affairs Minister Ainars Bastiks proclaimed that "...the father has still been left unnoticed and underestimated."

Which doesn't mean a big to-do needs to be made as tribute — that's not "A Father's Way." A tie you make for the big guy will be fine. (Does anybody still buy ties as a Father's Day present? how many fathers are still wearing them or are they all ending up as an accessory for a day or two in the wardrobe of teenage girl's?)

Just make sure that whatever you do on FD, you don't scold him to death. If that is your plan or practice, why not just leave Daddy-o unnoticed and underestimated. Many thanks.

** The presents don't matter as long as he knows (without having to put up with too much fuss) that you appreciate his presence. **
