What has everyone got for their dad’s, who are usually particularly hard to buy for?

Also, to add a caveat, totally fine to have a complicated relationship with your dad. If this is the case, please be kind to yourself and ignore this post!

    Eh it’s been 11 years since he went off the rails so I’m pretty much over it. Sucks around his bday but on weekends like this I’m mostly just happy to not have to spend time and money on an awkward meal out like most people I know. Gonna lounge in pyjamas instead and nobody can even make me feel bad for it lol.

      Honestly I admire you so much for this. I am feeling the guilt to go have to spend time with my dad over spending time with my partner (who is an amazing dad). As you say it’s always awkward and toxic but still the guilt remains. Great that are prioritising yourself, have a wonderful weekend!

        Well I hope that whatever you do, it’s as bearable as possible and you get to come home to your awesome partner asap. I don’t know your situation so can’t comment any further on that, just remember your feelings in all of this matter too.
