Father’s Day without a dad…

Any special tips for getting a kid (8) through Father’s Day without a dad?

My kiddo has been a little sad this week because they’ve been making cards at school for dads and she hasn’t got one. I’m worried about how she’ll be tomorrow and I’m expecting it to be hard for her 😔😔😔😔😔

(She’s actually my baby sister who I adopted, we have different dads and hers has been absent since long before she was born, so she’s never met him)

I would ignore the whole day but we’ll be doing something for my dad. She adores him but he’s much more like a grandpa to her than anything else. She made her card at school for him, and we bought him a present from her but she for sure still notices that it’s very different from him being her dad.

She has asked me like 3 times this week where her dad is… and I have just had to say I don’t know. Because I have no idea 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

I don't know jack shit about raising kids, but that sounds like a nice time to do something a little bit special. If you both have bikes, maybe you could go out for a ride together and get ice cream?

@BlueVeins Thanks for the idea! I will try to give her a good day and take her mind off it ❤️
