What baby boomer blogs are saying about Father’s Day
June 20, 2010
It was great to type in “Father’s Day” and “baby boomers” into Google and have my post “Top 10 Tips for Having a Great Father’s Day” turn up as the first listing. It made my day.
Here’s what other baby boomer bloggers are blogging about on Father’s Day:
“Happy Father’s Day… What a Privilege” – Baby Boomer Baloney
It’s a great joy to a father to watch his children mature and become reasonable and responsible young adults. You feel like you actually did something very right in your life.
“Being a Sperm Donor Doesn’t Make You a Daddy” – Baby Boomer Talk and Other Stuff
My husband isn't the father of my child but he deserves to be honored on Father's Day. He has been more like a dad than my daughter's biological father ever was.
“What Is a Father” – Baby Boomer Knowledge Center
Even when pop psychologists urged us to scrutinize our parents and find them suspect, I saw my dad as a patient man whose agenda was rarely hidden. He was the kind of guy who appreciated most people just as they were, and I think that’s what we all loved best about him.
“My Son the Doctor – But Give His Father the Credit” – Hot Flashes
Gary never flinched at supporting, encouraging and otherwise being there for Adam including moving Adam into his various exotic locales, finding him furniture, hauling, getting him settled as comfortably as possible, and then spending quality guy time. Every opportunity Gary found to visit him and spoil him a little, no matter where Adam, or his two other sons were for that matter. He is always the person Adam calls for advice and guidance in life.
“Father’s Day Is Not for Everyone” – 50-Something
I longed for Dad in ways I couldn’t name. Fragments of memory about him poke through my psyche like ragged edge shards poking through soil at an archeological dig.
"Happy Father's Day" – The Grandcoach Blog
So what has kept him so young all these years after everything he has experienced? His positive attitude, his endless wit and humor, his creativity, his resiliency, and the pursuit of his life’s purpose and passion: his art and my mom, or, “The apple of my eye,” as he so lovingly refers to her. He also lives by the Marine motto – “Always Faithful.”
Best wishes on Father’s Day. I hope you have a great day.

A Father is someone who you can turn to,
Who is willing to listen, after his long day is through.
