NDR: I am going to start a greeting card company (vent)
I'm going to start a greeting card company for people who don't have that perfect, loving 1950's TV show style happy family but still need to buy a card.
I just tried to get a birthday card for my Dad. My parents divorced when I was 8 so we don't have that stereotypical father-daughter relationship. We have an ok relationship but I am not that all lovey-dovey daddy's-little-girl, I never borrowed money from him, I never borrowed the car and he never fixed my car .... I must have read all 20+ cards in the store and not one of them fit. Funny ones just don't work either. And the "I know it's not said often enough...." cards are so overplayed.
I need they "Hey Dad! You are a good guy and I'm glad you are my Dad. Hope you have a Happy Birthday. Now go have a Beer." card.
Just had to vent. I can't be the only one in the world with this type of relationship!

Agreed. Graduation and sympathy cards are the worst. They are so over the top.
I usually get blank cards and write my own my sincere message.
I can never find good cards for any occasion. That's why H and I have begun the tradition of getting birthday, wedding, and baby cards that are totally inappropriate. We mostly go with wacky blank cards that have nothing to do with the occasion.
The last wedding we attended, we gave them a card with a totally rad dreamcatcher and howling wolf motif on the front. There's a picture out there somewhere. Their thank you card to us read, "Thanks for your presence on our special day, your generous gift, and your BRILLIANT card." Yup, we've got a good thing going here.

LOL. Yep.
This is why I buy whatever pack of notecards is in the Dollar Spot.
Also the reason why I haven't bought H a card in 7 years. We're madly in love for sure but we don't have that sweet, romantic, love you forever, you're my everything, my world would be lost without you, here's a card sort of relationship.
He also doesn't "get" or appreciate sex jokes so those cards are out too.
I need a card that says, "Love you. Wanted to face punch you for that comment on my new outfit but it was so damn funny I'll let it pass!"
I need the same exact card. Let me know when you are start selling them.
I'd get in line to buy this card too!
Love this!!
Try having to buy a birthday card for your brother who is being a total ass but also having serious (literal) mental health issues so you can't tell what part of his behavior is ass and what part is legitimate illness and thus you want to be nice and acknowledge his birthday but not be overly nice to make him feel like his behavior is remotely acceptable.
Yeah, that was me in Feb. I went with the silly juvenile card.
