Sense of humour failure?

[zol1]

My friend sent me a link to this card thinking it was hilarious and I've got to say I'm not seeing the funny side. I do have a sense of humour (honest) but I think if my DS sent me this I'd be gutted.

Maybe I just need to get more sleep but I can't help thinking Mothers Day is the one day of the year where I feel spoilt (and do no housework!) and getting this would ruin it. What's wrong with something nice and maybe some ?

Grim

Haha grim. I’d laugh if someone else received it though

That is crude and horrible. Not remotely funny

It's funny

It's funny!

It's not the relationship you have with your mother or children but you don't get to decide for everyone else

I think it's funny

I know that, each to their own. But i wouldn't want to get it - hopefully they know me well enough!

If any of my kids sent me this I’d be bloody annoyed

3 out of 4 of them were bloody pulled, heaved and dragged out as assisted deliveries and even the one who I delivered myself didn’t bloody “fall”...

I find it quite funny but I guess it’s context

If you feel really worn down then it’s not funny.

Mum would hate it because of the word.

Beaver jokes can be funny. As can jokes about knobs. Making jokes about your mum's beaver with her? Not funny. Toe curlingling awkward and inappropriate.

@zol1 YANBU it's awful. I would HATE to receive that from one of my DC.

That would go in the bin here. It's just vulgar not funny at all.

Gross

It made me laugh. I’d just be pleased to get a card.

Yes! This! It’s funny, but really not something I’d send to my Mum

I saw the attached on the other day, it’s funny I guess, it’s just cringe and awkward to send to your Mum

Yuck. Not for me either.

Back in the early 80's I got a Valentine card from my boyfriend at the time, that was bloody awful. A huge card with a horrible photo of a pig and words about being hog into me or something like that. Made me want to vomit.

BUT my DS [now 27 and not sired by pigman] is really thoughtful about cards he sends me - and the words he adds inside. I am so lucky.

I think it’s funny. It doesn’t offend me and it wouldn’t offend my mum either. I probably wouldn’t give it to me mum but I do enjoy the non-schmaltzy cards you can buy these days. As a family we favour funny/rude cards.

I think it's pretty funny! Don't think I'd send it to my mum though.

😂

Yeah, I wouldn't like this one either. It's just a bit...disrespectful, I think?
OTOH my kids sent me a 'Welcome to your new home' card that just said 'we know where you live...' which I thought was hysterical.

I think childbirth is bad enough without your kids minimising it!

Ha! Funny wouldn't buy it for my mum as she can be quite prudish but would laugh if my DC gave it to me

It depends on the relationship with your mum. I once bought mine a card that said ‘happy birthday, you attention-grabbing cow’ - she roared with laughter!

(Anyone how knows my mum knows she needs to be the centre of attention and will throw a party at the drop of a hat)

I think it's funny, but I wouldn't want it sent to me.

I drove past a pub called The Beaver once.

Not funny .. grim
