To all those picking up the slack of their child's father!
Not sure whether I'm more excited to watch him come and pick the kiddies up and act like the king for the day or all of the over the top family posts on social media! 🥱

It's one day of the year when the dad can relax and let the mum pick up the slack.

😂

Staying off SM - it'll just make me more bitter and twisted.
Just a regular day with me and DS, with a dollop of a reminder that his father is a twat.

Hahah Happy Father’s Day indeed.
Texted my ex to see what time he wants to see little man. Got told he’d text me back in a few minutes. That was an hour ago.

Selecting a card was fun- so many “Best Dad Ever!” Cards. They should to make one for my ex that just says “You Need To Do Better”. 😂

Mine's in prison. It's a bit of a step too far in the direction of 'he's a super dickhead' but, there you have it.

My friend posted on FB: Happy father's day to all the real men. Sit down, deadbeats. We'll celebrate you on April Fools Day.

Tell me about it! They should literally have a card with an illustration of a sad, pathetic-looking batter stepping up to the plate. Hint, fucking HINT HINT!
Happy Father's Day. This year, may you finally step up!

I have to admit, this year, I swanned past the cards in Sainsbury's and thought, "I don't have to appease this asshole or pretend to be grateful for sweet fuck all... ever again."
Up until now, giving my ex Father's Day cards felt like when teachers give Star of the Week to little Freddie for going 5 days without stabbing someone in the eye. You made it a whole week without being a lethal dickhead to your classmates. Well done, poppet! Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? No! Don't roll up your certificate to blow spitballs through, Freddie! FFS! <Freddie's 5 and already knows how to roll a fat one>

I waved the DC off earlier with Mr Muppetface. He actually bothered to show up for a change so I'm celebrating an entire child-free day, woohoo!

I love your friend's post @TheVanguardSix.

My friend's post on FB was great! I'm glad to share it right here on MN- our mutual deadbeat dad appreciation society.
And I love your card SoupDragon! 😆
My dear brother, RIP, used to send me father's day cards and I really loved him for that (among other reasons).

My kids father hasn't seen them in over two years, completely ignored all of their birthdays and christmases along with his entire family and I received an email saying it's shit of me not to even send him a card from the kids!!!!
