My Husband’s Weird Request for Father’s Day Seems Like a Major Red Flag

Slate Plus members get more Care and Feeding every week. His third Father’s Day is coming up shortly and he asked to spend it childfree and alone to rest. He wanted to spend the previous Father’s Days with his son… …but now he wants to disappear for the day to relax. —Going Away for Father’s Day Dear Going Away, As a dad, please let me put your mind at ease. Everyone needs to rest, and it’s good that he is able to articulate that need instead of subscribing to “man up/hustle culture.” By providing him with this time to relax, it’s going to make him a better dad and parenting partner to you now and in the future.
