to wish you could buy father's day cards that say...

[bintofbohemia]

"Thanks for screwing me up big time and not giving the faintest shit about me, but here's a card anyway because if I don't send one there will be hell."

I wouldn't bother but he did cut the lawn recently so it wouldn't be fair to say he never does a thing for me.

I could do without stressing my head over this every year.

or
" do you really think 4 days a month is being a father"

hehehe ( not MINE obv..)

YANBU - I wouldn't go quite as far as you but wish you could avoid some of the sickening "world's best dad" cr*p that most of the cards espouse. I want to acknowledge what my dad did do for me without being insincere.

Lol, how about:

Happy "Father's" Day!

;-) ex-H works in a card shop, but me and DD make a point of making homemade cards......

BOB...your OP is exactly how Father's Day makes me feel every single fucking year

I takes ages scouring the shelves for a card that has absolutely no sentimentality in it

No words of love, of thanks, of appreciation are going to come his way from me...

Erm.... if he did the lawn for you perhaps he does give a shit now?

Otherwise don't bother perhaps.

BTW I have a great dad but don't send him anything because he hates all that 'American' sentimental claptrap

I send a Father's Day card for the sake of my mother

Stupid, but true

Dear X

As an x-p you're not the worst
You helped me when the plumbing burst
But as a dad you're pretty crappy
When did you ever change a nappy?
Cancelling your time with our son
Because of football is not on
Cancelling your time with our daughter
Isn't something that a daddy ougta
As a parent I'd say you just about manage
But watch what you do before you cause the kids damage

Lots of love & kisses etc

(BTW my dad is great, and do is DH)

I wasn't going to bother last year but in the end I thought I'd have a last ditch attempt and got a card made with a picture of me when I was about two that I know he doesn't have.

When I spoke to him he made no reference to the card and just sounded really pissed off. He also arranged a father's day meal around whether his wife's cousin's daughter could attend, which excluded us.

He made a speech at my sister's wedding about how fucking marvellous and perfect she is. At mine a year ago he made a speech abotu how bringing up kids is really hard work and a sacrifice. But then he does something like mow the lawn, so if I don't send a card it'll go round the family "he cuts her lawn and she doesn't even bother, she's such a bitch."

Sigh...

Oh I see what you mean bob

Sorry.

AnyFucker, I totally relate to that. Crap, isn't it?

I might find something horrible with a picture of a dog or a boat on it and no mention of father's day. Or a "Why didn't you just settle for a blow job?" card...

Or do like i do i dont even bother sending him one he was always drifting in and out of my life when i was younger and now if i see him more than 5 times a year thats a lot and we live half an hour drive apart

It's bloody hard to find a Father's day card that is apt, not gushing, oozing thanks or implying a sooper dooper everyone's ecstatic co-living arrangement.

Making my own would require too much effort, but I still have to do it, or his wife (the OW) actually tells him that his kids don't love him cos they haven't sent a card... and yes, he tells US what she's said, rather to tell her to STFU.

Mine woudl read

Enjoy father's day with the children that are still talking to you.
With any luck they'll see the light soon.

To The Person That Impregnated My Mother,

As a Dad, you were shit
In public, you act like a tit

Your temper always made me fear
Your love, even as a baby, I couldn't get near

My self-esteem took years to recover
Your toxic influence drove me to take fuckwits as a lover

But guess what, I'm OK
But you, I cannot say

One day you will die alone
Don't even bother contacting me on the phone

From me

and he only been to see my DD nearly 6months only once the day after she was born i have been to see him with her twice but now just cant be bothered if he doesnt care why should i

There is one of those Retro cards of a pic from a Ladybird Book of the dwarves all gathered round dead Snow White, looking sad, and one of them is saying 'oh, no - NOW who'll sweep the floor and take out the rubbish'.

I bought it as a Father's Day card for my domestically hands-off dad - but got a grip of the fuck-it goblins running amok in my brain, and will not send it!

rofl blu!

Could always make one [grin
