In reflecting on weekend routines, the author describes how 'Dad-urday' emerged as a dedicated time for meaningful father-daughter interactions. As his daughter matured from toddler to nearly nine years old, their adventures evolved from simple outings to bakeries and parks into engaging conversations about music and the importance of supporting local businesses. The author acknowledges the imbalance in household responsibilities amidst their equal parenting philosophy, using Saturday mornings to bond while giving his wife respite. This ritual not only strengthens their relationship but also anchors the author's schedule.
Now my daughter is nearly 9, and while our rituals have evolved, what matters is the deeper connection we foster through our adventures and discussions.
Dad-urday grew out of a common parenting-duo problem: I do more kid-related labor than my wife. It’s my logistical answer for bonding through shared experiences.
