..terrible Mother's Day card

[greenchica]

AIBU to be offended by the sentiment of this!

it is a bit sexist, 2 days off and your back to being the house slave

I'd be kicking up the ass of whoever would present it to me as a great card.

I think it’s quite sweet! If my 6 year old can only follow through with the little cards it’d be awesome.

I can't see anything wrong with it.

I would love this

I don't know how I feel about this. In my house me and my husband both do the house work. But for my older relatives and Mum it would be work because they don't get help from and seem to accept this.

I think that it is fine but probably because we all made cards like this at school to give to our Mums one year.

It's not very 2018 is it.

I think if the 'dust and vac' and the 'washing up' were replaced with other things like the cuddle or cup of tea or what ever it would be better.

You wouldn't get a fathers day card with 'let someone else do the cleaning today' on it.

I wouldn’t be offended. Not thrilled, but not offended either.

Seems fine to me. It's not sexist to give a card like this to a mother on mothers' day. Perhaps both parents share household jobs equally, and the child is offering to take over when it's the mother's turn.

Pretty lame but under 10s would love it.

It is completely crap that this exists, but for most women it is reality. The research and statistics back up that it is still women doing the majority of housework, whether they work outside the home or not.

Oh god it’s just a card!

Maybe it’s for single mums (single mum btw) and the children are offering to do housework etc for the day?can’t be arsed to be offended by a card tbh

I think it’s fine. I’ve made my husband similar vouchers for Father’s Day. We sure the housework and these vouchers would just give the one of us a break for a special occasion. It’s fine.
However I bet there aren’t many/any shop bought cards for dads with the same vouchers so I can see why you’d find it offensive.

Share not sure.

I think it’s fine for young kids but I wouldn’t be impressed with a teenager giving it to me.

It would be better if there were blank spaces to fill in the treats your mum would like.

Can't see the problem with that one?

I personally love it
In general, however much i will be bashed for it. Us women/mums are the ones that do the majority of the housework so having a day off is a treat really.
It's a nice card, do we have to put sexism on to everything

My brother once bought my mum a car that said 'you're like a mum to me'!! Her response....I should bloody hope so! he had not read it!

Most mothers' day cards are pretty appalling apart from the amusing ones to be honest. Would be interesting to see what the same card would say for father's day.

I'd love that, too! If you share housework with your OH, you still have housework to do, so you get not to do your share.

People just look for offence these days.

My teenage DD gave a birthday present like this to my DH. When he tried to cash in the tickets for free babysitting and tidying up her room she was OUTRAGED

It's sexist. Even my 9yr old DS would see that and question it.
