Yet again my ungrateful spawn have gotten me nothing. I provide food, shelter and protection from wild animals and not so much as a card. Never again.

I've gotten a top and a bottle of whisky, maybe you're not doing it right OP?

Those are things you *have* to provide to the children you chose to bring into the world. What have you done to deserve a father's day card?

Eggs For Dinner · 17-06-2018 08:03AM

Be good to your father every day that you still can. Just sayin'.

LollipopJimmy · 17-06-2018 08:07AM

Maybe check if they've bought anything for the Postman?

Maybe your wife has told them the truth that you're not their father!

Don’t worry Op, sure all the single mothers have hijacked the day.

smokingman · 17-06-2018 08:21AM

I got brekkie in bed, aftershave, home made cards and loads of hugs...cracker of a day already!

I'd be worried at this stage if they did get me something.

Just like Mothers Day was invented by Hallmark card company for the base commercial motive of increasing card sales at a low point of the year, Fathers Day was also invented for the same reason. This is simply a ploy by gift and card manufacturers to get people to buy more useless **** to clog up their houses with.

My lot are broke enough and perpetually in debt with the high cost of living in Dublin so I do not push the commonly perceived social notion of their being an obligation to buy cards and presents at any time. They have enough parasites hanging off them as it is.

My Father was also of the same mindframe, being self contained in his own persona not to need flattery or tokens of appreciation from his offspring but my mother was a different kind of person, with an insecurity and an ego so fragile that one missed card or birthday would result in furious rage that could last weeks.......

Luckily I always had enough money to sort things out but one of my sisters had to forego meals to buy a card and small presents to keep mum happy......thats why she hates crass commercialism to this day.

Continual consumption is good for us, they say, it's good for 'the economy', but strangely enough, it doesn't seem all that good for our planet, and all its living species, including us. Maybe there's something wrong with 'the economy'!

I blame the parents.

Fiery mutant · 17-06-2018 08:43AM

I’ve got presents, big breakfast served up for me, and now laying on the couch watching Star Wars.

But it all pales in comparison to just having my kids and wife waking me to give me a hug.

Mother's day was around long before Hallmark
It goes back to the days of the big houses having a designated day allowing the service staff to visit their Mothers

Not only do I not agree with the idea of cards, whatever about a small gift or even breakfast in bed, but id been wondering since 6 am who's birthday it is or what that gift wrapped thingy on the kitchen table is about!! The penny has dropped and, yes, I did receive last year.
No name on it so Ill wait until they all rise from their beds, later.

It was my birthday recently and I didn't get as much as a card, never mind a gift. Yet mine are all very vocal about what they want for their own birthdays. And we're talking gadgets that cost big bucks. It's enough to make you sick. I love my kids but that really opened my eyes. When I brought up the subject, one of them went on about she bought me a card when she was a kid and it ended up in the bin a few months later. I didn't even know about that. Well, they can look out when their own birthdays come around is all I can say.

Thats it bud, you teach them some of life's real life lessons like perpetuating anger and only give to receive.
