Father's day

Fathers are very important for families. We haven't a special day for fathers in my home city. That is unfair, because we have a special day for children. But we respect parents in my culture. We have lot of rules about that relationship.

Now, I like doing something for my husband with my children on Father's Day.This year,  we bought a gift and hand made some biscuits for him. I like my children to respect their father and show him how much they love him.
