Although I agree with what Lydia is saying here, I think thanking Mom is not a snub to Dad.

It’s just natural that mothers play a larger role in bringing up kids. They are around more while Dad is out working to put a roof over their heads and food on the table. Visibility counts.

I’d add that it’s because mothers are usually prone to encouraging their children to pursue their dreams, and provide undying support. Dads are more pragmatic.

There is definitely a problem in the African American community with absent fathers, but it’s not as bad as most of you are making it out to be. Saying “he probably doesn’t even know his dad” is no different than “he’s probably is a terrorist”.
