Opinion | Father's Day feels weird now that quarantining showed me my wife's a much better parent

Some days, I would just find myself standing in the kitchen, listening to a podcast and ignoring my son's daily lessons.Andrew Hamm, cartoonist and illustrator

Most of us dads want to think we are handling this pandemic with the ease and grace of an ocean liner shrinking into the horizon of an orange sunset on a beautiful blue ocean, but, in truth, the seas have been far rougher and the sunsets less brilliant. I wrote this piece two or three times; every time it was a funny and concise look at my wife and I with our 3-year-old son — a young family — struggling with the"new normal," locked in our house together.

But that story possessed little of the truth of the situation and more of what I wanted to be the reality of family life under quarantine. I couldn't write about how hard the pandemic has been on me as a father and husband, but how I have nonetheless risen to the occasion and met the day with a grin and said:"GIVE ME ALL YOU'VE GOT, WORLD." I couldn't commit to pixels that I've been the best teacher to my son and he will be better for it.

THINK So you are just saying you are a lousy father

THINK This is wonderful and all, but why don't you just become a parent, a dad and do what you should be doing. Your wife doesn't need another Mother's day, what she needs, wants is for you to actually step up.

THINK Happy Balls Day

THINK No bitch and balls

THINK Remember NBC didn't want to report on the Weinstein story when they were given it
