It irritates me to no end.
Maybe it's cause my "father" isn't much of a Dad.
Or maybe it's cause now divorced f*cking twice, I have to share my kiddies with their Dad.
Or maybe it's cause Hallmark sucks ass at the "Hey Dad you were never there for me, but HFD anyway, asshole."
Or maybe it's cause Hallmark doesn't make nice, not too mushy "step dad" cards.
Or maybe it's cause in all the dysfunctional family shit, I have three million dads to buy for...
sadly, but in this case luckily, I only have one grandpa left living...and he's not even a blood related grandpa.
Or maybe it's cause I'm just a sad and miserable beotch. All. the. time.
Yep, maybe it's just one of those.
To all the REAL DAD'S out there, I hope you have a spectacular day!
Family sucks sometimes. But I still love you. MUAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacie. My dad died when I was 7. Not having a dad around in 1970 sucked because nobody got divorced back then (yet) and dads didn't typically go around dying. So, yeah, daddy/daughter dances and father/son boy scout outings pretty much sucked for me and my brother. But I'm not scarred or anything, can you tell?
ReplyDeleteI still refuse to buy a card for my father-in-law--I make my husband buy his OWN father a card. Is that wrong?
I can so relate to this...Hugs to you from all of us at the Asylum.
ReplyDeleteFamily can be a giant cluster sometimes, all the time. stay insane
ReplyDeleteSad statement on that Blunt Card. But for many it is true. The family unit is becoming an endangered species.
