Fatherhood is a crucial role in anyone’s life. Good fathers constantly aim to set a positive example for their children.
They consciously instill good principles, morals, and values in them. But not all fathers are related by blood. Some are bonus dads.
What is a Bonus Dad?
Bonus dads are fathers who have taken on the role of raising children who are not their biological children.
A stepdad, a mother’s boyfriend, a parent’s male friend, a friend’s father, or a male instructor are all examples of bonus fathers.
While the phrase “stepdad” can have a negative connotation, the term “bonus dad” does not. Bonus dads are viewed in a more favorable light!
Bonus fathers are fantastic! They are always willing to go the extra mile for their children. They’re also wonderful role models for their kids.
As a result, they should be honored on Father’s Day, on their birthday, at Christmas, or simply because.
If you’re having trouble finding the appropriate words to express your gratitude for your bonus dad, here are some bonus dad quotes and sayings to help you make him feel special and cherished.
