Hooray, in the US we have a separate day for each parent. Thus we have Mother's Day the second Sunday of may, and Father's Day the third (?) Sunday in June.
The most likely way to describe your day would be Parent's Day. Parents includes both mother and and father. Also, a case could be made to put the apostrophe after the 's.' Thus: Parents' Day.
(Parent's Day is viewing each parent as one unit. Parents' Day is viewing each set of parents as one unit.) |

Thank you so much, Bud
I don't know why I couldn't think the word 'Parents' day'.
Today is Parents' day in Korea, Bud.
Our family are going to go an restaurant and eat Kalbi.
Kalbi is one of Korea's traditional foods.
Anyway, have a nice day.
Thank you. |
