How do divorced parents typically handle Mother’s Day and/or Father’s Day?

These holidays are typically handled by allowing the respective parent to have the day with the children, irrespective of the regular parenting schedule. This special arrangement is often included in the parenting plan to honor each parent’s role and ensure they can celebrate the day with their children. Clear communication and planning help facilitate a positive experience for everyone involved. For young children, its often helpful (and kind) for the other parent to help coordinate a gift or card of some sort so the children are prepared to celebrate the other’s special birthday.
