On a parenting board, mainly consisting of mothers, there was a discussion about Fathers Day gifts. The general consensus seemed to be that it was perfectly acceptable to just buy a card and some naff gift and say it was from the kids. Is it me or is this a rather cynical view to take?
It annoyed me a little really because when I was a kid, I did things like paint my dad a watercolour of a submarine he served on, which 19 years later still hangs on their wall or with some help from mum, I plated up a pot full of flowers for him that I chose.
Do dads matter so little now that buying a bit of cheap tat is all they should hope for now?
I know its a commercialised day etc, but it doesnt stop you putting some thought in or helping your kids to surely.
