[quote=Anonymous]DH was having a birthday.  Took the kids to pick out a card, nothing but complaints.  Both of them picked out the first card they say without even reading it (one said “to my dearest husband...”) because they were in such a hurry to leave.  No one could come up with any ideas of a gift, which I understand because he’s tough to buy for.  So fine, I say, let’s just make a little poster telling him we love him.  They agree eagerly because they just want to leave.

We go home; they don’t want to do it.  Ok, that’s fine; there’s time.  Let me know when you’re ready.  Of course, never happens, so we have to do it morning of birthday.  I got it all started and told them to add a nice thought for their dad.  I had also bought some stickers that were from Father’s Day but also included general “great dad” sentiments.  I said to add a couple of stickers, just make sure not to use the ones that say Happy Fathers Day and make sure they are facing the right way.  They slap a couple of stickers on there, using the ones I told them not use, not bothering to face them the right way, and say they can’t think of a single nice thing to write.  They are complaining the entire time.  They even argue about signing the card.  Basically, they can’t be bothered to spend 10 minutes doing anything nice for their dad’s birthday.  I am clearly raising the most selfish entitled kids.[/quote]
