Mom's Calendar - ugh

[katmarie]

AIBU to want a family organiser calendar that doesn’t say ‘Mum’s Calendar’ on it? My DP does as much of the household organising as I do, why does it have to be my calendar?

All I want is a nice calendar that has a month to view and spaces to put appointments for me, him, baby and the dogs, which isn’t covered in patriarchal nonsense. Is that too much to ask?!?!

(See also ‘Mum’s Diary’. Where’s Dad’s diary? Grrrrr)

Yep I'm the same. Want five columns minimum. Don't want thd gruffalo one!

Thank you. Second link looks fab

I always get a family one. I'm the only one that bothers to write on it or check it though!

Yes very annoying, ‘busy mum’ ‘Mums calendar’ ‘Mums school year diary’

Oh I was about to recommend the Gruffalo one!

@wasonthelist thanks those links are fab!!! Glad it’s not just me!

Dunelm do loads called family calendars really cheap but nice!

I thought EXACTLY this as I went past Calendar Club. Even the Family Organisers have feminine colours / artwork on.

We buy the RNLI family organiser calendar each year. Not mumsy at all.

@wasonthelist

Best of all they come with a three year guarantee.

Dodo pads do some fab calenders pricey but are very good quality x

Lakeland family calendar....its brilliant!!

Aldi do them yearly. I've had them for the last couple of years.

I got one last week in a National Trust shop - 20% off too. 5 columns, lots of space, and it's a Family Organiser.

There are lots of family calendars, I've seen loads at loads of different shops. Some people like the mums/feminine calendars if you don't then don't buy them. Do find a lot of people up in arms lately about anything being 'girly' some people like that stuff

Not technically the point of your post but in the same vein I had a Christmas where various members of OH's family bought me : a family organiser, a slow cooker, some kitchen glasses and a fancy tea towel. Meanwhile OH got presents specific to him as opposed to presents that would enable him to better carry out his role as 'caregiver'. I found it really insulting!

I have one every year that either says mum dad and the kids
or Him/her and the kids.

I've seen mum calendars but they were just for one person with single entry spaces.

I usually buy one after new year in m&s when they drop the prices! This year's one has recipes on it.

You can get a personalised family calendar from notnon the high street and its the family name and then they add the names per column as you specify

Busy B calendars are brilliant, both couples and family ones.

These are ace, each month has a pocket to stick all the bits of paper from school/party invites/hospital appointment letters/car MOT reminders etc in. No mention of Mums.

These are perfect boxcleverpress.com/calendars-p-1-c-4/family-home-planner.html
