Well,I'm not officially my boys father but he bought me some really nice addidas trainers today so I must be doing something right!!my old man died 13 years ago now but he wasn't buried although I feel no need to visit where my mother scattered his ashes as we didn't get on at all when he was alive,very selfish man complete opposite of me who gave my mother a miserable life.Perhaps I'm wrong?

Same here my daughter is 18 months old and she done me 2 paintings and come and woke me up this morning with a nice mug of coffee and a cooked breakfast (obviously with my wifes help) Also my wife bought a large photo frame and put pictures of me and my daughter from over the last 18 months

Now I agree with that,my girlfriends parents kept hinting about it this year the cheeky cunts!!!they do fuck all for our boy and even less for her so quite frankly fuck off!!!!There are some out there that deserve it more than the real parents mind,couple we know their mother takes kids to school and picks them up,they don't finsh work/get home until 6.30 so the gran feeds them as well,they're in bed by 7.30,their real father has them from Thursday til 7.30 Friday,they have them a few hours Saturday afternoon then real dad has them sat night til 730 sunday and the cheeky fuckers complain to us that they're stuck with them all the time!!!now she deserves a present!!!!

But this morning i was woke up given a homemade card and a big hug and that was better than any bought card or present
