Chatchai Panuthai of Kanchanaburi, Thailand, has made big headlines with his attire at a Mother's Day luncheon held at his sons' school. His boys, Income, and Ozone, had been invited to participate in this annual event, but their mother no longer lives in Thailand, so she could not attend. Panuthai was determined to help them enjoy the day anyway, and his dress has caught the eyes of millions.

Panuthai decided that in order for his boys to have a "mom" present at the event, he would dress up for the part. After all, he has been raising them as a single parent, so he has been acting as both mom and dad. For the occasion, he selected a frilly pink dress, which he wore with a big smile on his face.

Panuthai, who is very involved in his sons' lives, admits that it was embarrassing to spend the event in a lacy dress. However, he considered that a small price to pay if it meant that his boys would have a great time. Clearly they did, as you can see from the video that his friend took on the day of the event.

This dad's thinking outside of the box made a big impression on everyone in that room, and his innovation has spread throughout the world. Countless single dads can take inspiration from him as he shows that dads can do a wonderful job of parenting even when no mom is present. Having a sense of self-deprecating humor can be a big help in that regard.

The sweet video showing Panuthai at this event has reached millions of viewers. It doesn't take long to get a glimpse into the special day he shared with his sons, but it warms the heart and will leave you thinking about ways to engage with your children more meaningfully.

Clearly, this young dad knows how to bring some joy into his children's lives. What do you think of his creative way of celebrating Mother's Day?
