Parents Day

For many years families didn’t really know what to do.  There was always a Mother’s Day, which is a great holiday designed to celebrate mothers of the country.  And there is a Father’s Day, which is also a fantastic holiday, this time celebrating the fathers of the country.  However, a void existed.  Surely, there should be a holiday that celebrated both parents on a single day, without having to sacrifice the shine that the individual parents get on their designated holidays.


That’s when President Bill Clinton stepped in.  Noticing that there was something, he used his presidential abilities to create a holiday and in 1994 signed into law the creation of Parents Day.  Without any opposition from the American congress, Parents Day has been celebrated since 1994 and the parents of America couldn’t be any happier.

The fourth Sunday of every July is set aside for Parents’ Day and is an excellent opportunities for families to get together, laugh, and celebrate those underrated pillars of the family: the parents.  The Congressional Resolution that passed Parent’s Day into law established this day as a time for ”recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the parents in the rearing of children.”

Since it’s a relatively new holiday, there is no set tradition to Parents Day.  However, since all of us have parents, the day is a perfect opportunity to visit our parents or to at least give them some thought.  Designed to celebrate the family structure that is responsible for the development of good Americans, Parents Day is a day that kids give their parents a much deserved pat on the back.  For parents, it’s a day where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the adulation that you should be getting on an everyday basis.



With Parents Day, the goal is to reiterate the family ideal.  One ways to give your parents an excellent Parents Day is to take them out for a trip.  Getting away from the day-to-day parental responsibilities and enjoying excellent family time is a gift that all parents will treasure.  Another way to celebrate Parents Day is to give your parents a day to themselves.  Free your parents from their everyday burdens by cleaning the house, making them dinner, and just let them relax.


As time goes on, new challenges pop up for parents.  If you’re just a child, parents have to constantly worry about your safety and educate you in becoming a good and responsible person.  For teenagers, parents also have to worry about your safety but must strike a delicate balance between providing you with support without constricting your burgeoning individuality.  For adults, parents are a never ending pillar of support.  Always there to lend you money in case you need it, the job of a parent never seems to end.


For this reason, children should take Parents Day seriously.  An excellent opportunity to return the unconditional love that they have for us, Parents Day is great.  Happy Parents Day!
