A special thank you to all the white people for their accomplishments should be made every day in February.

Next mothers day I'll make sure to add a special thanks to all the single dads out there.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

"I have tried to be both a mother and father to you." "Yeah? Go **** yourself!"

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

How does the acknowledgement of single moms on father's day undercut the credit fathers--assuming they play a productive role in the lives of their children--receive on father's day?

I was raised by a single mom. Even though we had a volatile relationship for much of my youth, I was still incredibly grateful for all the sacrifices she made in performing what are traditionally described as "motherly" and "fatherly" duties. Thanking her for her love and support on father's day hardly diminishes the gratitude or respect you might deserve or receive from your children on the same day.

Father's Day is about fathers, not single mothers, married mothers or MILFs. If you have a father, celebrate father's day. If you do not then have a nice sunday. You should grateful to your mother for all she did, celebrate that every day. To wish her a happy fathers day is absurd.

Strange debate. I don't care if a single father gets Mother credit on Mother's Day, or a single mother gets Father credit on Father's Day. Who cares. If a kid or kids want to show some love for one (1) or two (2) days a year, go for it.

Any parent that is put in a position to have to serve both roles is clearly not going to be as effective (good) as a dual parent home. Just ask Dan Bernstein. He loves telling us this. But, a parent will try to the best of their ability. Hard to ask for more. If a kid(s) chooses to celebrate their love of parent, even if the genitalia doesn't fit the "role", then by all means good for them. 2 of 365 ain't bad as they will most likely be in hell for the rest. I can't see ever getting too worked up over what others choose to do. My shit ain't that tight to begin with.

There have been posts made on this board about parents being awol. I can see how having to celebrate them as either a good mother or father is weird or wrong or whatever, but that seems a different argument.

What's wrong with that? On every Hug-A-Negro Day I manage to sneak in a few hugs for white folks too. Why don't you try being a nice guy like me?

Seems like there's a conflation of social and biological roles going on here to me. As you say, biology cannot be transcended, but social definitions can. To me, it seems like a good idea to acknowledge those people who care enough to work around and through limiting social conceptions because they want to do the best they can for their children.

It's not a big deal.

Dwyane Wade battling custody issue

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade has asked a Chicago judge to suspend his ex-wife's right to visitation with their two children after a weekend incident that delayed the boys' return to his custody and led to her arrest.

Wade's attorney, James Pritikin, filed an emergency motion and appeared in court Tuesday to have it heard, hours before the Miami Heat guard was to play in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

A hearing was set for June 26, which would be the date of Game 7 if the Heat and Thunder extend the series to its limit.

Wade told The Associated Press that his sons have been with him in Miami since about 6 a.m. Sunday -- "That's what mattered most to me, getting them here to be with me on Father's Day," he said -- and that the incident has not adversely affected his play in the championship series.

Siohvaughn Funches-Wade was charged with two counts of attempted child abduction, two counts of unlawful visitation interference and one count of resisting arrest, Cook County Sheriff's spokesman Frank Bilecki told The AP on Tuesday. Another woman at the home at the time, Nadgee Alarcon, was charged with one count of resisting arrest, Bilecki said. All the charges are misdemeanors.

Funches-Wade posted $10,000 bond on Monday, Bilecki said, and is due back in court in August. It was not known if she had an attorney.

"Once again, S.L. has used our minor children as the proverbial pawns in this contentious dissolution of marriage action," Wade wrote in the filing, using initials to protect identities but referring to his ex-wife. "This court must take action to protect our minor children from further exposure to the present environment S.L. creates while they are in her care and preventing S.L. from exercising her parenting time in a manner that is harmful to our children."

The couple was divorced in 2010. Wade was awarded custody of the boys in March 2011. His ex-wife's appeal of that decision was denied in December, and the couple is scheduled to return to court in September in an attempt to complete financial terms of the divorce.

"The minor children have been subjected to great deal of drama/trauma as a result of S.L.'s conduct," the filing said.

According to the filing, the two boys were to be picked up by Wade's sister around noon Saturday so they could make a 3:05 p.m. flight from Chicago to Miami so they could be in South Florida for the entirety of Father's Day.

Wade's sister got no response at the home, and after "several hours" the sheriff's office was called to send someone to the scene, according to the filing. It also said Funches-Wade attempted to leave the home without the children when one of the responding deputies tried taking her into custody. The boys, at that time, were with Alarcon inside the home, according to the filing.

Wade eventually hired a private jet to bring his sons home early Sunday, and upon their arrival, his older son told him that Alarcon "smacked him on the head," according to court records. I hope Wade taught his own to properly flop when being struck by a woman.

Records show Funches-Wade was transferred to a hospital after the incident on Saturday. She told officers she was experiencing shortness of breath and thought she was having an asthma attack.

Wade recently finished writing a book primarily about fatherhood and the custody fight for his sons. It will be released Sept. 4.
