Funny card, a readers digest and made his fave dessert for after dinner. Might even let him win the dinner table argument, will see how generous I'm feeling at the time!!

stovelid

Got two cards this morning. Is it possible for two kids under three to have the same handwriting? have to go head out now and get something for my dad. Might bring him to the pub for a few as my own gift was the day off! Woo hoo!

Pete M.

I was wished a happy fathers day upon waking and then got a handmade card shortly after.
As for my own auld buck, it'll be a phone call and a chat.

As has been said 'Fcuk Hallmark' :pac:

Gran Hermano

Happy Brother's Day to our Boardsies in Roscommon and Leitrim.

Got daddy a new shirt and some phone credit, I'm also trying to get him a hoodie but they're really hard to find in his size, the fat bastard.

Also made him some apple pies, they're his favourite

Mushy

No cos its his birthday next week. Also have mothers birthday during week. Too expensive without adding this into it.

oh hi you

I didn't even realise till friday that it was today, grrr. but was considering not getting anything anyway. i'm sure he won't even realise.

i'm wondering from a fathers point of view on this though, would it bother you if you didnt get anything?

RachaelVO

Got my Dad sweet FA. The shagger is in Spain, so fcuk it.

As for the OH, he got cards I made with the kids yesterday. On mothers day I got nowt, and I could care less! I include valentines in that!

TBH, I'd rather actually just get my dad/OH summit he'd likes/needs if and when he needs it. Can't be arsed with these mind numbing days.

No idea tbh.

Almost on the stroke of midnightn last night I got texts from my two wishing me a happy father's day

Mars Bar

I got my Dad a t-shirt that tells him he is crap at golf.

He is crap, I wasn't going to tell him otherwise. And a card. We'll get him something he actually really needs when he decides what he needs!

Rebel021

I got my dad fcuk all
he doesn't deserve anything

On to me
I got
20 smokes
mug and coaster super dad set
Bottle of Jack Daniels
Levis T-Shirt
3 store bought cards
3 home made cards which I prefer

--LOS--

I really hate these stoopid days so no, wouldnt even wish him a happy fathers day. Usually if I'm at home and it's mothers day my mother goes on about it so much I usually just make breakfast. But dads dont do that.

Vinta81

Card, amazon gift card, made a cup of tea for him and said I'd do the washing up by hand later :pac:

Creature

I just got him a load of beer. He's a handy dad like that.

Those of you who keep giving out about how stupid Father's Day is: Do you actually get your Dad anything at any other time of the year (excluding Christmas/ Birthdays)?

I generally find that people who bitch about these days never give people gifts or do something nice spontaneously, they're either too selfish or too cheap.

This is just generally speaking though.

THIS Dad does! Coming from the other side of the fence here. Three adult children. Several Lottery tickets (YAY!); lotto tickets; and phone credit.

Leaving Father's Day aside (I'm biased!:D) I think the days are a great idea. Even if you don't give gifts, it's nice (particularly for the Mammies) to be told that they are loved and valued.

Everyone to their own.:)

You are right.

Any day can be Fathers Day/Mothers Day or Valentines. Personally I'm happy that I can enjoy many spontaneous moments with my parents/daughter/son/wife throughout the year, that aren't forced on me by some card company.

kingtut

Got him a card and a €90 bottle of Belgian whiskey
Taking him to his favourite restuarant when I return also!

No generally it would just be christmas/birthday gifts for parents but that's just coz I'm not that close to them not coz I'm stingy or mean.

But Dads don't generally nag you about doing something is what I meant, ofc that doesn't mean they wouldn't appreciate it as much maybe.

ChewChew

I hate these days too!! money racket. I'd usually have bought him something, or gone for dinner and paid for his meal but myself and my sisters put a few quid together and bought a spray of flowers for his grave. He'd probably be giving out, telling us to stop wasting money, but it's just a little gesture really.

KingEnda

Never seve seen this day coming as I am starting exams tomorrow.
Thanks for the heads up I better go get him a card and a bottle of brandy will ensure he gets over me forgetting
Just texted my eldest sister she is the one in the family for dates she didnt tell me cause I am burried with books. She did add me name to a card, isnt that lovely

Cunning Stunt

Just topped up my Dad's phone credit online. I wouldn't have realised it was fathers day, only for this thread (am living abroad). Thanks OP!

McChubbin

I sent mine a card in the post and will be chatting to him on the phone.

123balltv

gave my Da a card with €30 in it
amazed at the amount of cards still left in shops years ago you'd
struggle to find a card left in the shop ... sign of the times
most of my friends gave their Dads unwanted Christmas presents felt sorry for their old man's

Princess Peach

My daddy broke his face this morning so I'm gonna go home and take care of him.
