Ridgewood NJ, according to the website “Unbiased America” , the gift gap has grown worse this year. Fathers received $15 billion dollars worth of gifts this Father’s Day, $2 billion more than last year, according to an estimate by the National Retail Federation.
However, that’s only 64% of what mothers received on Mother’s Day this year! The gift gap has reached a record level!
It’s time to address this problem once and for all! Demand that congress pass common sense legislation mandating that fathers receive the same amount on Father’s Day as mothers receive on Mother’s Day! We’ve suffered too long with this gift gap.

A barbecue and “Thanks for everything” is good enough for me.
There may be a logical reason for this so called “discrimination”. Stop to think that many households are composed of a single mother and children. I am absolutely not referring to separated households where the father remains in the picture but many others have an absent father who is not present in any way to “receive gifts”.
