Tell us the stories that gained you Dad’s Disapproval

Dad’s Approval is possibly the most rare and powerful force known to humanity – and luckily, our range of Father’s Day cards is sure to seal the deal.

Dad’s Disapproval, on the other hand, is all too easy to come by: we’ve all been on the receiving end of that rolled eye and exasperated groan.

To fondly remember those times (gone, but never forgotten) we’re sharing and celebrating your ultimate Confessions. Perhaps it’s the story you bring out at family parties now that you’re old and grown, or maybe it’s the story you don’t bring out because Dad’s still not over it. Either way, let us know your best – and worst – moments which gained your Dad’s Disapproval. Don’t forget to vote for your favourite, too!

    I invited all my friends to my 7th Birthday party because I had never had a party and really wanted one but I forgot to tell my parents and the first they knew about it was when my friends started showing up in party dresses with gifts. It was the only party I ever had but it was awesome!

    After my parents got divorced, my dad took me to his posh friend’s big house for an annual NYE party - he was in search of some nice new ladies. I headed for the whisky.
