sugar and spice dtsm ay mix sbiujrt ol tt wurtw bene fathers day is but a pallid imitation ot that great commercial orgy known as mothers day but apparently it is with us to stay bach jcar father receives gifts that he neither needs nor wants and before the wrappings have been sut away he realises the family as put him in hock for the price of bald gifts i dont know what tne rest of you bird want tor fathers day but i know what would please ma most tha most thoughtful gift the family cool produce for mo would bo if thoy packed a lunch got in the car and disappeared for the day 4 i find the whole business of fathers day revolting the inert existence of such a day is an in dication of the new low to which the father has iunk in the famil unit just a few decades ago e ery da was father s da and there was no fooling about it whn i was a kid there was none of this dam foolishness ot father helping around the house nowadays fathers scrub the kitch en floor on their day off and help with the dishes after dinner in the good old days father didnt have a day off in the first place and mother wouldn t have let htm help with the dishes in the sec- ond because she knew her place and his perhaps it s the increase in hi leisure time that has turned the head or the house into a uibsl l babt sittir a domestic menial a hand wailing wall and in general a pale reflection of hi dignified reopecled male forebears i until a couple of decades ago father wor a s and week but he didnt get ulcers and do you know why because he didn t see es much of his famlty as the poor cripplegutted creature who brings home the bacon today oadas fa her t u a da or hairda off does he potter in the garden does he go fishing does he get awa for a game of golf would it were so he 1 kicked into the street with tht children while mother does what eer modern women do around home with 800 worth of labour saving machinery there is nothing more pitiable than the tight of a father on his day off wandering forlornly about a supermarket trailed by two or three little monsters of children as he does the weekend shopping when he gets home he is allowed to put the groceries away and spend an hour mowing the lawn before dinner after he has put the kids to bod he is supposed to emerge from hts chrysau as a fullfledged social butterfly and go off and get all uiced up at somebodys saturday night party no wonder nerves are rubbed raw today in the old days fathers werent particularly concerned with getting to know the child ren they didn t worry about their children liking them they took it for granted and everybody was a lot happier when my dad got home from work ke didnt have to sot the table run around looking for the kids then lump in the car and go and get a quart of milk nor did he have to pick up few things on the way home because mother looked after her own shopping no sir when my dad got home from work be was greeted aff ectionately but politely and left alone he retired to his chair with his papgyenntil he was call ed for supper duhngtiie meal he was not forced to listen to a 20- minute harangue about the terrible day mother had had nor did he have to break up quarrels among i the children no did he have to jump up and make the tea because mother was called to the phone and was still there talking about the bake sale 20 minutes later another reason for hit unques tioned headomhehoue statu was that wo didnt argue with him the most i would dare was an aw dad but today the 7 iya father can get into a 10 ilnute argument with any kid over the age of s a the drop of a sug gestion and come out whimper ing twas ever thus the world la going to hell in a hotrod which is considerable faster than the pro verbial wheelbarrow and i can hear my kids telling theirs 30
