Think yourself lucky, that photo frame was used as a weapon to wake me up by an enthusiastic 2 year old this morning. I'm sure I have a black eye coming.

I'm sure it's well-intentioned, but that's a bit mean isn't it? Suggesting that your father is no longer young enough to be Batman?

Both parents tell me never to bother, still always get them something although I've left this late and it hasn't arrived (book on past British racing car and standout designs).

I got "Happy Father's Day X" as a text message, at least she remembered this year, last year she was too hung over!

Teenagers!

"Daddy! Daddy! Is it morning yet?"

That's TODAY? Damn it! My mum always reminded me of stuff like this. Usually told me what to get my dad as well.

I heard 2 kids coming up the stairs arguing with each other and then tears as they dropped my sausage sandwich on the stairs - great start.

Toblerone and Throntons are still safe as is the usual cards etc.

Your profile states your 35, surely you don't need your mum to do this? :eek:

Need? No.

Well the fact that you have forgotten would indicate you do.

Nate75 · 19 Jun 2016 at 12:38

I got a home made joypad made out of chocolate and a Superman mug and coaster.

I would never of guessed either

First Father's Day since my mum died. Just because I got used to her reminding me doesn't mean I'm completely incapable of doing things for myself.

Nothing... my wife didn't tell the kids it was Father's Day soon. I am currently painting one of the bedrooms. I am a sad puppy

I got 2 chocolate oranges and 3 bottles of beer which I indirectly paid for

Haven't seen my Dad since Christmas, even then it felt awkward going to see him.
They never involve themselves with my life and I never theirs..
Never felt close to either parents really.
One buggered off when I was 6 or 7 (Dad)
leaving with the other who would never interact, chat, involve or otherwise take an interest in my life (as a kid or now)
Depressing day, especially seeing a load of FB posts on the subject where everyone has cards and what not.
