Happy National Father-In-Law Day
Happy “National Father-In-Law Day!”
Did you know there was a special day to honor and celebrate your father-in-law? I sure did not before today.
I know, it sounds like another holiday created by the greeting card companies, and it is according to DaysOfTheYear.com.
If you’ve never been married, then this will not be a big deal to you. I have been married to the same lovely woman for many years, and yet, I have had two fathers-in-law. Actually, Bert is my actual father-in-law since he is my wife’s Dad. Her parents were divorced, so her stepfather, Ben, would be designated my stepfather-in-law, I guess.
Sadly, Bert passed away in 2021. He was a great guy and we got along very well. Living in Las Vegas for most of our married years we did not get to spend much time with him and his wife Jo, but I always enjoyed our time together. My wife’s stepdad, Ben, is still with us and we have spent more time with him and my wife’s mom, Judy, down through the years because they love to travel. We have both been blessed with great in-laws who have always been there when we needed them, but have never interfered in our relationship.
So, today I celebrate both of my Dads-in-law, Bert and Ben. If you are fortunate enough to live near your father-in-law, you don’t have to hurry out to purchase a greeting card because it will never get there in time. But, you may want to let him know just how much you love and respect him. They are not always easy to get to know, but getting to know them is well worth it.

Hey Dads, What Are Your 'Pet Peeves'
#5 DISHES IN THE SINK

You wouldn’t think this would even make the Top 1o, but believe it or not, Dad’s just don’t like dirty dishes in the sink! That’s why it end up at #5 on the list of Pet Peeves for Dad!
#4 LEAVING DOORS OPEN
Who’s hasn’t heard this from Dad? This had to be in the Top 5 when it came to Dad’s Pet Peeves, leaving the door open, “…what are we doin’ cooling the entire neighborhood?” That’s why “leaving the door open” had to come in at #4!

#3 TOUCHING THE THERMOSTADT
This has to be considered to be #1 as well…what Dad hasn’t yelled at the kids for even thinking about touching the thermostat in the house? Since it’s not #1, at least it’s in the Top 3 when it comes to Dad’s Pet Peeves!

#2 CHANGING THE CHANNEL
We think this would have to be a “pet peeve” of a lot of people when watching TV! If there’s one thing that Dad’s demand on Father’s Day, it would be total control of the TV remote so no one can interrupt his show or game! That’s the main reason why this “pet peeve” came in at #2 on the list!

#1LEAVING THE LIGHTS ON
Well, here it is, the #1 “pet peeve” Dad has, so remember this come this weekend! Quit leaving all the lights on in the house, especially during the day! That is why this “pet peeve” is a great #1!
