As Mother's is approaching, and Father's day isn't far behind I thought about single parents who are both mother and father to their children.
Why can't Hallmark make Mother's day cards for single fathers, or Father's day cards for single mothers? When I was a single parent a friend of mine who was also a single parent started a tradition. We would give each other mother's day cards, and father's day cards.
I think Hallmark should look into this and make cards for single parents out there. They would boost their revenue every year.
Or better yet, friends,faimly, and co-workers can get together take up a small collection, and get something for the single parent they know. For instance do you know a single parent that needs matinance done on their car? A lot of single parents really can't afford these kind of things, and tend to put them off till the last min. Or even for something as a spa day for them. Single parents don't often take time out to do something for themselves.
Just some options here what do you think?

Thank you. And yes single parents face a lot of diffculties. I was a single parent of 3 for 4 years. I know how hard it is to be a single parent and how people look at single parents. It's a great thing that your friend takes care of his father now and that he thinks so highly of him.
