Somehow I Doubt We’ll Be Seeing Cartoons Like This for Father’s Day

Having taken care of the mentaly handicaped 24 hours a day for a few years. This idea that stay home moms have it so bad is a real joke. It was the easyest and most fun thing I’ve ever done.

Was it just me, or did it seem like last Mother’s day received a huge amount of coverage in news stories, advertising campaigns, etc?

I was walking on a trail and heard some office co-workers talking about different gifts for mother’s day and one woman said she gave something expensive (a $200 day at the spa) and another man said he hadn’t done anything yet and the other co-worker told him “You better hurry!”

This kind of gift giving hysteria usually is reserved for the Christmas season (which is now being downplayed as “holiday” season.)

It will now be very interesting to see if the same media and advertising onslaught will happen with Father’s day or if they’ll just decide there’s no money in it and blow it off.

(In general, I’ve gotten kind of jaded with holidays being about pressure to buy the “perfect” gift or make the perfect gesture which to me ruins the purpose of enjoying them. If someone makes a lousy dinner or gives a card but everyone has a good time, that’s enough for me.)

No you won’t see that type of cartoon,,,
Us men don’t do anything but beat women and kids…

I must be the exception though,, since I raised my daughter while her selfish lesbian mom did what she pleased and saw her child very little..

But what do I know.. I’m just a man..????

This is a cartoon? Where’s the punchline?

Nice dream time-sheet Mruff. But you missed the flexitime work schedule. So:

9.23 am. Arrive at work.
9.24 Toilet, make up touch-up.
9.45 Answer emails. Do ‘research’ on some websites. Send list of misandric jokes to colleagues.
11.25 attend 1130 meeting, Be first to arrive and look accusingly at watch while others drift in. Tut a lot. Roll eyes as practiced in toilet mirror.
12.15. Lunch as detailed above.
1.45. Rush back from shoe-shopping looking flustered.
1.46 Toilet. Touch-up make up.
1.59. Type up notes from morning meeting for evidence folder.
2.47. Meeting. Arrive 2 mins late looking harrassed. Complain about work schedule. Demand resetting time to 3.00.
3.45. Type complaint to Equal Opportunity Commission about offensive comments made in the meeting which traumatised. The suggestion that she walks a little more quickly to the meeting room from her office when everyone knows that women have to wear high-heels in this sexist, male dominated, unsafe workplace is offensive, insensitive, deliberately provocative, oppressive and evil.
4.44. Leave on the dot dropping compalint copy into HR Director’s secretary’s in box, with addendum about the vomit under the meeting room table not being her job to clear up as ‘cleaner’ isn’t in her job description.

Mruff forgot 9:45 pm where she says to husband, “I just dont feel close anymore”, scoots as far to her side of bed, turns back and sleeps

Did you look at her schedule?

Yard work on Sunday? Really? Usually men do this. She picks up “Ed” from the airport even though she’s a working mother (drops off the kids at daycare). Can’t “Ed” get a taxicab ride? She bakes cakes?!?! And pick up dry cleaning? Lions and tigers and bears, how can she survive to stop for 10 minutes to walk into a store, get the clothes, and put them in her car?

What a load of hooey.

Also notice that on her important schedule is to go to the doctor and pick up a prescription. That’s PERSONAL business. In fact, her children are only mentioned when she goes to their personal activities on Saturday. For all we know, the father has custody and that’s the only day she gets them.

“ed” is erectile dysfunction…how’d he get to the airport?
