Where's my bacon fucking sandwich...

[KatnissMellark]

Every day of the week? Any Dad who does drop off tomorrow is getting one from nursery as it's Father's Day this weekend. For Mother's Day I got a handmade card and two sad half-dead daffodils. I'm sure they'll make dad's cards too.

Wtf? a) where is my bacon sandwich for doing drop off everyday and b) where are all the patronised Dad's complaining about this?

I had no idea sandwiches fuck bacon 😂😂😂

Haha. Useful. Made me laugh at least

Tell them it's a great idea and you will be looking forward to the same on the Friday before Mother's Day next year. Remind them a few weeks before.

Outrageous! This is a feminist issue.

It's on Friday. Man Friday. Identify as a man for the day and get your bacon sandwich.

Can't you self identify as male that day and demand your bacon sandwich?

Bacon sandwiches are rank not very inclusive. I can only imagine the shit storm that would follow if somewhere round here did that! At least cards and flowers suit people who are vegetarian, Muslim etc. I get your point though, dads are treated like heroes for doing what mums do daily.

Hate this shit.

Yeah dad needs a bacon sandwich because hes a big strong man and men like food and treating themselves.

Mum is happy with your shit ugly boring card because shes a woman and her job is just to love you and your shitty homemade gifts, she doesnt need things that taste good or are actually fun because she doesnt matter as a person, she just matters as being your mother...

Im not even a parent btw

@DrCoconut You are wrong, very wrong. Bacon sandwiches are not rank, they are ambrosia.

My DS has got to take the morning off work and go into school for Father's Day Breakfast

coconut I live in fucking Birmingham!!!! It's Ramadan!!! What the hell?

This used to boil my piss at a local baby group. In the week it was tea & biscuits then at the weekend they had a dads session (I was on my own as dh studying at weekends) so it meant there wasn’t a group I could attend, and they served bacon sarnies for the dads!

This would have me snapping and farting.I love a bacon sandwich.

For Father's Day as a gesture?I think that's nice.
It's something they're likely to appreciate (yes, I know not all Dad's would appreciate a bacon sandwich before anyone starts, veggie DH wouldn't as an example ) but would like the thought being made.
Giving each Dad a little bunch of daffodils might not be as appreciated as a bacon sarnie would.

Mum is happy with your shit ugly boring card genuinely happy with homemade cards from the kids here,I love them.

That much glaringly obvious

Whereas we got flowers, cards and a special assembly for mothers' day and not even a card for dads last year. DH does most of the homey stuff and was rather miffed.

On the other hand, the once a month on Saturdays baby group for dads supplied bacon sandwiches. Because obviously dads couldn't go to the weekday group and needed bribing to leave the house alone with kids. And working mums are mythical super-beings who need no encouragement.

Dads are treated like heroes for doing what women do every day ?! Speak for yourself!

My dh is a brilliant Dad, why shouldn't he get a special day, like I do?

Give me a card over a bacon sandwich any day, but maybe both should get both?

Bastard I think you've misunderstood that comment. It is no secret that fathers who do everyday parenting are widely considered "heroes" whereas mothers are just doing what's required. No need to interpret this as an attack on you

They are trying to encourage men to go because typically they dont

I also want a bacon sandwich now

If we are going to be honest a lot more time,effort and money is spent on mothers day than fathers day so i see no problem with this.

Personally i am fed up with the different supermarket adverts for fathers day for steak, fancy cheese, special puddings and wine etc for fathers say because they deserve it...what were the adverts for mothers day? Flowers and a flaming box of chocolates.

Hate this shit.

The trouble is if you gave all the mums a bacon sandwich instead I bet more than half would be very unhappy at a) losing out on their flowers/card/chocs b) being given a greasy old sandwich and expected to eat it.

Dads are, broadly speaking, probably not bothered by the lack of flowers. Every parent loves a card though.

As for the different mums/dads groups where only the dad ones get the bacon. I think they are generally run by the parents they are aimed at, so it's the dads choosing to lay on the bacon. Nothing stopping anyone rallying support for a Thursday morning tea and bacon sandwich soft play meet-up for mums. I'd have done that if I'd thought of it. At the time I was a walking zombie and glad of the coffee and biscuits.
