AoWW Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 But then I guess that as most all men need mothering by their wives/girlfriends, perhaps a card is appropriate........... Though, like Lisa, if an other-half bought me one, they'd get a slap.
Guest Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 In answer to the original question, if Sir Fynwy was to present to me a card on Mothering Sunday, he would get a slap. It would be weird, particularly if you don't have any kids I bought me Mrs a Mothers day card on behalf of our daughte.But as she cant write(she is only 6 months old) might get her to drool all over it!!! Should be no problem if she is teething. On a plus note, my best friend had a little girl the other night; I wonder if her hubby will be buying her a card.
Hullfox Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 Buying a card on day designed for children seems a bit odd. Not really a major issue though. Not sure how you reach the conclusion that it's "designed for children", I would have thought it is a (manufactured) celebration of mothers. As Mrs HF is the mother of my children, am I exempt from showing my appreciation on this particular day?
Sir Fynwy Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 In answer to the original question, if Sir Fynwy was to present to me a card on Mothering Sunday, he would get a slap. I'm unlikely to buy my own mother a card so wtf would I waste money on one for my wife, if we had kids they could make their own decisions whether to buy one (even at <1 year old), just like valentines this is a stupid rip off aimed at making money for the card/flower/chocolate industry.

Katy Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 Ha well I make all my own cards so none of these alleged 'special days for people' are a rip off to me. I would hope Ella makes/gets me a card but I wouldn't expect one of anyone else.
Lillehamring Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 heh, do you think the 'half bottle of wine' is like in the simpson's where they win a half bottle, and it is a full bottle with half the wine gone - sounds about right for leicester city....
Lillehamring Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 At least it's better than this bollocks women - don't remember having this in england, but it's quite big...apparently... the tradition here is to wish 'gratulerer med dagen' ( happy birthday ) to all the women
Wycombe Fox Posted 13 March 2009 Author Posted 13 March 2009 I didn't know Willie Carson was a Leicester fan.
Corky Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 I don't have any children (that I know of, anyway), and I don't have a wife (that I know of ) so it rules me out.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 Why should a card for your "wife and mother" be so surprising to someone living on the Isle of Wight?
Guest Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 And they say that romance is dead, Pffft. He's a big softie, really.
Dr The Singh Posted 13 March 2009 Posted 13 March 2009 Mum in law!! I bought me Mrs a Mothers day card on behalf of our daughte. But as she cant write(she is only 6 months old) might get her to drool all over it!!! My mum in laws great, she cooks the best food for me, I get treated like royalty, cus she knows if she doesn't, i'm gonna treat her daughter like shit!!!! I personally wouldn't buy my mrs a card for anything, there manufactured messages, I believe in the more personal touch, so instead I wish her a happy do and so and offer her sex,....she for some reason is never pleased with either!!!
Wycombe Fox Posted 13 March 2009 Author Posted 13 March 2009 Why should a card for your "wife and mother" be so surprising to someone living on the Isle of Wight? You're thinking of West Wight, where the family tree has no branches!
