To think Sainbury's should not be selling this greeting card.

[OonaStubbs]

I can't even think of a reason why this card should exist. And I was amazed to see it being sold in Sainsbury's of all places.

Try and get it on Moonpig.

My niece had a sleepsuit that said "if mum says no, call 1800 grandma", and that was about 15 years ago. Don't know where it was from. It's the whole "if I knew what fun grandkids were, I'd have had them instead of having kids", and the idea that strict parents chill out as they get older and because more relaxed grandparents who just enjoy instead of worrying.
As for the grandma not grandad, it is definitely true that in that age group, women are/were far less likely to work full time than men, so stereotypes aside, they're more likely than grandads to have time for babysitting. Might not be true for our generation. And they'll (often) be more confident about spoiling kids than grandad, as they are more likely to have done the childcare while their husband worked.

Everyone in my family gets one daft christmas present from the cat, and he often manages to sign his name and put a miniature paw print on birthday and christmas cards.

I did have an elderly aunt who was worried that her neighbour's dog would be upset if he didn't get the christmas present from her on christmas day because she was going to be away. 🙄

I'm trying to figure out who it's supposed to be for?
The child to the grandparent or vice versa?

Eating a load of sweets presumably?

I don't really see the issue.

😂

Problem is there, it never just stays at Andy’s. The silly bastard likes to send emails.

Brilliant! 😂

I don't do that but I do make sure my husband gets a birthday card from the cat 🤣

They're already on Scribbler. Loads of them. It's where I get all my cards from 😀

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Log it with 101.
Contact the ECHR.

I think we need the UN on this

Am deeply disturbed by the random capital letters!

All jokes aside it's really disheartening that there are people out there who try to turn everything sinister

Dear Mr Guterres
Ignore Israel - Palestine, Nigeria, Syria, Yemen, Eritrea, Afghanistan, etc. please sort out the real issue: this greetings card.
Thank you.
Lots of love x

That was quite a leap!

Give over.

And I say that as someone that WAS abused by their step-grandfather and was scared into keeping it a secret. Because I realise that my reality was an anomaly and most grandads are fabulous, loving men who would never harm a hair on their granchild's head. I'm sorry if you share my story which is why you are so upset by the card but if that is the case, please seek help and don't look for darkness in the lighthearted.

Get a life op. Do you know what a joke is….

😂

It's a long standing joke. Best lighten up. 🙄

Catch yourself on.

The phrase that I know is 'you're at your uncle's and your auntie's blind', meaning your uncle is going to spoil you and your auntie, who might be stricter, won't know because she can't see all the treats you're getting. It never had connotations of abuse or paedophilia. Just that your parents were necessarily stricter than your other relatives who really wanted to spoil you as a way of expressing their love

Pretty sure my child’s taste of birthday cake on his first birthday will not actually be his first experience of cake/sugar due to shenanigans at Grandma’s but we’re all going to act like it is 🎂
