Silly Silly Daddies!!!

Least she got a card.

My youngest now tells people she has no daddy shortly followed by but I have lots of people who love me.

Your "baby" sounds like a spoilt brat, sorry to be so harsh.

I think you are adding to your DD attitude.

You should be reminding her that there are thousands of children in this country who would love to receive a card from their dad.

What's wrong with a colour in peppa pig card??????

Perhaps your daughter should learn some gratitude?

It's the thought that counts. ..

I think in this case, its the lack of thought that is what is upsetting her.

Does he not know his own child enough that a 14 year old wouldnt like Peppa?
I just read this to my OH. He has two daughters that are 13 and 10. He replied " what a dummy".

I can see what she is upset and it goes deeper than just a card.

Is it just a Peppa Pig card or does it say 'Daughter' on it or is personalised with her name? Could be that there weren't any daughter cards left, so he just grabbed that one or he thought it nice to have one that spelt her name out?

Or does she like pigs and he thought it would be cute?

When my DD got her Peppa Pig Easter egg, she realised that her G-Gran had just thought of her as 'the little one' because my son is only one year older than my sisters twins and then there's a gap of 2-3 years before you get to her.

Maybe he did it for a laugh? Or just didn't think. Either way I doubt he did it to upset her!

My dad is brilliant but he'd often forget how old we were for a second, didn't mean anything!

Oh dear, I don't think you are quite getting the response you expected. I agree with the other posters that your daughter should grow up and just be pleased her dad sent her a card. Maybe it was not the wisest choice but there are numerous possible reasons why it ended up being this particular card.

Your daughter should be taught that her dad's oversight isn't that big a deal, dad could do a lot worse to her than buy a peppa pig card. I think you both need to grow up!

Does her not going through a 'Goth'stage with Black hair and clothes maybe make you think that a pink peppa pig card may not be best idea..!!

my baby is upset and I cant fix it!!

So you can refer to her as your baby but he can't think of your DD as being young? Could it be he sent it as a joke thinking that she is mature enough to "get it"?

I'm sensing a bit of "ex-bashing" myself. It is so easy to do but it does not achieve any thing in the long run.

Could be your younger daughter needs to grow up a little too - if she's getting into a strop over a card being late at this time of year and it being [in her eyes] not appropriate, maybe she's not as mature as she thinks?

Laugh it off, show your daughter that it just does not matter. It's a card - it is tomorrow's recycling. Life is too short.

Even now i'm 30 my dad can be wholly inappropriate when it comes to gifts. But other times he's legendary. It's still my dad. I still love him. He's made the effort and I get a chuckle out of what he's bought me. We've all bought a duff gift or card at one point or another. We're human.
