Why Uncles Deserve Father’s Day Love Too

Uncles wear a lot of hats sometimes literally (hello, fishing hats and BBQ aprons). But more importantly, they’re often the ones who show up with wisdom, support, and unconditional love when we need it most. Maybe he was the one who picked you up from school when your parents were busy, taught you how to drive, or helped you move into your first apartment. He might not have been in the traditional “dad” role, but he’s definitely been there through the big and small moments that mattered.

And let’s not forget uncles often bring the fun. They’re the ones sneaking extra scoops of ice cream, telling the stories your parents probably wouldn’t, and cracking dad jokes with zero shame. They give us perspective, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Honestly, Father’s Day just wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to these bonus dads we adore.
