Cosd Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 So my girls asked me what I want for my Birthday this coming Monday I asked "whats my budget" "£30" from each of us" one of them says in a sweet 13 year old kind of way "how about £15 from each of you and you can put it toward my present and your mum can pay the rest" I say being the good kind dad that I am. "What do you want for your birthday" wife asks, "something for shooting please, girls are giving you £15 each toward it so 60 odd pounds from you my darling" Today missus calls me and says "can you order your birthday present please" So I pick up the phone and order my present and pay for it with MY credit card :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I know that feeling, my wife and i have been married 15 years this year, so we decide on a very nice present each. My business has been very good for a few years now so we are in the very lucky place of having a few quid in the bank, makes a change i have nearly lost the house twice. I have been after a Omega watch for a long time, so she gets me it, she wanted a holiday so i book a nice break to Antigua without the kids. Funny enough i get my bank statement through and i have paid for the watch and the holiday. Deep joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentKill Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 kind of clever really, at least she is getting the 53 days interest free to pay it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Part of the pleasure of being a father. I had all that when my daughters were smaller, but since they became classified as "grown up", its become customary for me to take both of them and their partners, plus my Wife, out for dinner.................on my birthday and at my expense.

Mk1 Man Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yep, It does rather look like you've been had, but there is a plus side now you know how the scam works. Next year, I dare say there'll be something special you'll fancy regarding shooting...maybe a new rifle or a top end scope that you've had your eye on but wifey frowns upon you when you mention buying it.... So, when she says order your birthday present....go for it (funds permitting obviously)...There's no way wifey can complain as you were told to order your own prezzie as you were merely doing as requested...and after all....it is your birthday.

Dead-Eyed Duck Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Daughters are all the same to their dads. They have no shame whatsoever in asking for anything outrageous, and normally it works. With your sons you simply say "It's a tough world son - get used to it".
