A recent Mother's Day survey found that the value of mom--based on everyday chores, duties and responsibilities--was just under $60,000. The same study, conducted by Insure.com, found that dad's worth--based on his chores, duties and responsibilities--was $23,344. But cheer up pops, that an increase of over $3000 from last year. Let's break down that net worth.
OK, when someone says you "must read" this or "must see" that, you may ask, "What happens if I don't"? Having said that, years ago, my wife gave me the book, "Big Russ & Me: Father And Son: Lessons Of Life", a closeup look at the father and son relationship between the late Tim Russert of NBC "Meet The Press" fame and his dad, "Big Russ". With Father's Day this Sunday, what a great dad book, and such an easy read. I took it on our vacation that year and read the whole thing on the beach in three days.

Wake up. Sound the alarms. Father’s Day is on Sunday. It seems like we talk about Mother’s Day for a month before it actually happens, but Father’s Day just sneaks up on us every year. If this has happened to you and you aren’t prepared with a gift, it’s not too late.
It seems like there is a standard list of activities for Mother's Day. We give mom flowers, a gift certificate to her favorite store and take her out for breakfast, dinner or both. However Father's Day seems to be devoid of any standard list of things to do. Sometimes the family will do something together, sometimes dad and the kids will go off to do something fun or sometimes we just let dad kick back and relax. With Father's Day less than 24 hours away here are a few suggestions.
It’s hard to be a good father, but it’s easy to be a lousy father since even bad mothers at least have to endure nine months of pregnancy and 27 hours of labor.
When we think of gifts for dad on Father's Day there seems to be a disconnect between what we believe he wants and what he truly wishes for. According to a Harris Interactive survey of 2000 American adults for ebates.com, 60% of women said the perfect gift would be tickets to a sporting event. However when men were asked what they would like 52% said a tablet or a smartphone. The list of other possible gifts showed a further disconnect.

As you know, Father's Day is this Sunday, and as a dad, I'm looking forward to a relaxing day (glad I mowed the lawn Wednesday night). I'm sure that we'll all be honoring dads one way or another, and there are some famous dads that many of us know. I thought it might be fun to remember some of the famous animated dads from cartoons and animated films.
