No need to get rid of Father Christmas/Santa just go back to the fact he only fills the stocking.

Don't worry about what your kids get with your adult mind. just remember how it was as a kid, they don't give a hoot about brand new or 2nd hand or a knock off.

I think we also need to teach children about materialism and how having the latest XYZ doesn’t make Christmas/Birthday/Easter better. Christmas doesn’t have to be a religious event to enjoy it - for me it’s about being close to the ones you love and having great food.

Xmas has become an obscene exercise in greed and commercialism. The adoption of American customs hasn’t helped.

Mothers Day/Fathers Day. duck OFF. I am not on good terms with my parents and hate feeling obliged to bother. Saying that, I don't have kids and if I did, the little shits would be disowned if they didn't get me a truckload of expensive presents, cards etc.

'If it was the other way round wah wah wah', you know what I mean. If a man did something instead of a woman 'everyone would go mad' apparently. 'If it was a man saying this to a woman' but it isn't, that is not what is happening. Can it, Brenda.
Some people deserve to be scammed. If you get an obvious fake text/email with obvious mistakes and you click on a dodgy link you fully deserve it. Same goes for message from 'DPD' about things that were never ordered. If you didn't order anything, why would you be expecting a text from a delivery company?

I happened to be in America one Valentines day and found it bizarre that the staff in the supermarket or shops would say 'Happy Valentines Day' to all and sundry.

I think it’s subjective about Christmas losing it’s magic. Until we started spending Christmas with my father and siblings, I felt it lost it’s magic. But it’s now for us a rare time we actually engage, get round the table, eat nice food and play games. I find that quite magical given how aloof and busy my family can be the rest of the year. As I travel to spend time there the childrens gifts aren’t plentiful, nor massively expensive as I have to take it all back. Santa delivers the stocking and one toy. Everything else my children have always been aware that I have paid for - especially electricals, bikes, trainers, etc. I’m not saving all that hard cash to pay for things an imaginary man is going to take credit for. Sod that for a game of soldiers. These days though children grow out of Santa at around 5 or 6 if you’re lucky.

I’ve seen Mothers Day cards on Etsy from dogs now 🤦🏽‍♀️ Do some dog owners buy these for themselves and pretend the dog wrote it? Genuine question lol

I find people who push human attributes onto animals vomit inducing.

“Fur baby” - Get in the bin with that!

You are not a mother because you own a dog/cat. You are a pet owner.

My childrens step mum calls herself a rat mama. 🤢 Yes rats make wonderful pets but you’re still just a rat owner. Stop humanising them. (she does have actual human children too). Quite frankly I feel like telling people like this to grow the hell up!

In our house we buy the presents and Santa delivers them. My thinking was that this would get round the “how come so and so got x for Xmas from Santa but we didn’t” questions although in a decade of doing Xmas for the kids, it’s never been an issue.

People giving animals human traits and treating them like children annoys the crap out of me. Also people who Indulge their dogs, encouraging bad or annoying behaviour instead of training them need to get in the bin. Nobody wants to hear your dog endlessly barking at nothing and a dog nipping at my trousers for attention makes me want to kick them (I never would).

I see it loads on social media now, some of these cat/dog owners see their pets as actual children and call themselves mum/dad and make instagram pages dedicated to their pet. Now it seems they are also celebrating Mother’s Day lol I’m sorry but I think some of them have lost the plot.

Even worse when they start talking how they perceive the animal would.

“Me and my hooman”
“Boop my snoot”
“I ownz dis”

Utter weirdos.

My dog knows me as mum and my husband as Daddy. Out of my three daughters, all teenagers, she’s quite often my favourite. Any Mothers’ Day gifts have to be collected from the corner of garden with a special bag, however 😂

Inspired by the current Russia - Ukraine invasion 😔

People who can’t be bothered to do their own reading and research on current affairs and say stuff like “I don’t understand politics”, “I try and keep out of all that”, “I don’t watch the news because it’s too depressing” are lazy.
