"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.

Happy 'farther away the better' day

If I do send him a card fucker can I put that working in it?

Better not, his OW is staying with him until the end of June. I'm trying to stay dignified whilst she's about and not 4 hours drive away. Just for my own pride really.

You can do anything you like, cakey, you are your on woman

teaandcakeplease · 14/06/2010 20:00

I meant wording

I'm not sending a card from me to H only one from DCs. Maybe it can be homemade - but that looks like more thought went into it, to me?

AnyFucker · 14/06/2010 20:14

Buy him the shittest, cheapest one you can find.

The DC's won't realise (a card is a card, to them) but he will

this is interesting. My dad is very bizzare, I think he has a personality disorder, he says I should have be 6 foot under quite a lot and was teaching my 19 month to throw a ball in my face and when I told him not to do this as she may think it is ok to throw things he then told her to pick up a conrete slab and try that, he often tells my 4 yr old he will chop mummys head off and it really grates me and upsets her but he never listens, next thing he gives me money or offers something when he is having a good day! Have to keep quiet so not to upset my mum!
Not sure what to put in his card, maybe the 20 quid he just gave me!

God jenwa, what a cock.

bintofbohemia · 15/06/2010 08:33

Jenwa - he actually sounds a bit ill in the head!

I always try to get something like "It's Father's Day!" and end it there. THereby acknowledging that there is such a thing as Father's Day, without having to gush sentimentality at That Man.

drloves · 15/06/2010 14:03

How about happy sperm doners day ??
Its a day we could recognise what little our dads actually did.
the twats !

moaningminniewhingesagain · 15/06/2010 14:10

I'd quite like something low key

Happy Father's Day, for a basicailly inadequate father with no social skills, an alcohol problem, and just waiting for a lonely old age.

Have a great day, maybe spend half an hour wondering why none of your children would piss on you if you were on fire,

From Minnie and the grandchildren, the ones who live four miles away yet you only see once every few months.

bintofbohemia · 15/06/2010 14:35

Sanielle - that's a fab site - I'm sending this one

sanielle - that is a fab sire

and yes my dad can be a cock hey ho, I got a card, very basic and no gushy stuff at all!

mtor · 16/06/2010 20:54

my dad died fifteen years ago. he was a wonderful father and (I think) husband. I still miss him all the time and get sad when I see the fathers day cards arrive in the shops. reading all of this however I just feel so grateful for everything that he gave to me and so lucky that I had him for the length of time that I did. so thanks to all of you for reminding me of that. oh dear. crying now.

Funkycherry · 17/06/2010 11:54

Buy a card that's blank inside and just write "thinking of you on father's day."
He doesn't need to know WHAT you're thinking - well, not in writing that can be used against you anyway.

ShadeofViolet · 17/06/2010 12:00

I would love to send one to my step-dad that simply says

'Thanks for fucking off with someone else - best thing you did for Mum in 25 years of marriage

She is so much better off without you

Violet '

But I wont.

BouncingTurtle · 17/06/2010 12:34

Dear Dad,

It's a few years since your last father's day card?
Why is that? Think back, it's not very hard.
Maybe because it was all too much work
Being a father and a husband, not enough perks.
To make matters worse you left mum with a debt
Of £2000, did you think I'd forget?
Or the day you put your hands around her neck
What was her crime for such disrepect?
Because I had told her of your new 'friend'
Who did steal time we were to spend,
Having fun time with you, what a fucking joke.
Amazed she thought you were such a great bloke.
It's forgiven now since you're my only dad
But never forgotten, the pain that I had.

this thread makes me larf

1pregheadpumpkin · 17/06/2010 19:29

my mother and i were in tesco the other day and she said we must look for a card for step-fatty and i kept picking ones up that said "it's father's day" with a pint on it or something and she kept picking up ones with cuddly teddies and "happy father's day to the best daddy i could ever hope for" etc on them.

she won but all i could bring myself to write in it was "have a happy father's day from B*a xxx" feeling a bit nauseated as i wrote it.

i fought the urge to write "you know i hate you as much as i know you're keeping yourself alive out of pure spite. make sure your growing obesity, dependance on alcohol and exesive smoking soon become the undoing of you, it'll be the best thing you ever did for us. thanks for nothing fatman!"

1footinfront · 17/06/2010 19:48

apt

Lucky for me I managed to get a none-love one , showing a fire with a "dad couldnt admit he lost control of the bbq"

It was only 25p as well. Glad.

Dreading the obligatory phone call on Sunday. GAH.

good luck everyone! love 1footx

1footinfront · 17/06/2010 19:52
