If you have a father — or father figure! — memory to share, let's get so emotional together. » 6/16/13 10:30pm 6/16/13 10:30pm

Some of it's good, some of it's great, and some of it is downright annoying — just like dad! » 6/16/13 8:30pm 6/16/13 8:30pm

I used to work at a popular women's magazine where I once pitched a guide to brides with dads who weren't dead but weren't around — I'd never seen anything like that before, and I figured there had to be a lot of women (myself among them) who were confused about the etiquette. Do you ask some 50-something dude you've… » 6/15/13 4:30pm 6/15/13 4:30pm

No ties, please. No cufflinks or gift certificates. No presents at all, really.

Kid, if you're struggling for some last-minute token for Father's Day, here's what I'd really like — this year and for years to come:

I want you to know there's no end game. The sports you play, the colleges you get into, the accolades you… » 6/15/13 3:00pm 6/15/13 3:00pm

With Father's Day around the corner (consider this a friendly reminder, go get him a tie or something), baby daddies around the country will be getting a Hallmark card, an Applebee's gift card, or at least a phone call to recognize all those times they ordered pizzas and let their kids wear pajamas all day when mom was … » 6/13/13 3:30pm 6/13/13 3:30pm

In yet another desperate attempt to humanize their father, the Romney sons released a Father's Day video in which they detail all of the fun times they had with their dad. Guess what? The good times centered entirely around pranking each other. Oh, and for some mysterious reason also involved him nicknaming one of the … » 6/17/12 8:00pm 6/17/12 8:00pm

Your dad might be great and all, but can he give birth to whole cloud of babies at once? » 6/17/12 6:30pm 6/17/12 6:30pm

This vintage McDonalds commercial illustrates the Very Special Bond of dads and daughters. Keep it in mind when you're hanging out with your dad tomorrow, or if you don't have a dad, watch it on loop until you feel like you do. » 6/16/12 6:30pm 6/16/12 6:30pm

A woman named Tanya Quaife, now grown and working at nonprofit for LGBT homeless youth in Los Angeles, tells the complicated story of her father on Salon in a piece rife with bitterness, sensationalism (sentences like "The detective told me my father's penis had shrunk to the size of a seahorse," a number of disgusted… » 6/16/12 2:45pm 6/16/12 2:45pm

I don't have any scientific proof on hand, but I feel like I've still never seen a study that says fathers clean more or do more child-rearing stuff than mothers. I know there are exceptions, but I'm talking on the whole. Women are often expected to be like, Here, take it all, take everything I've got because now I'm a … » 6/13/12 6:30pm 6/13/12 6:30pm

If you were raised by a dad, or are raising kids with a dad right now, or are a dad yourself, or have ever met a dad, you probably would not say that fathers are worthless. And, you would obviously be right, they're worth a lot; they're just not worth quite as much as mothers—at least that is what a strange new survey… » 6/12/12 4:20pm 6/12/12 4:20pm

These days there's a discount to be found for just about any service, so perhaps we should not be surprised that Groupon has started offering a deal in New York City to name your baby for you. True, this is likely a Father's Day PR stunt, but still it's fun to consider the possibility of paying them to decide your… » 6/12/12 9:30am 6/12/12 9:30am

This Father's Day, we thought it important to give a nod to America's quintessential embarrassing father figure — Clark from the National Lampoon's Family Vacation movies. Chevy Chase, we thank you. » 6/19/11 3:00pm 6/19/11 3:00pm

When Tom Matlack of the Good Men Project asked a number of famous men to describe their fathers in two words, he received responses that ranged from "vodka and charm" to "inherently good." My description: "Clark Griswold." What's yours? [GoodMenProject] » 6/20/10 12:55pm 6/20/10 12:55pm

"A study of 33 first-time fathers found that they viewed themselves as sharing family responsibilities 50-50 with their wives and claimed to devote an average of 3.3 hours each workday to child care." Bad news? They were "probably lying." [Slate] » 6/17/10 3:40pm 6/17/10 3:40pm
