New Parent Apology Cards: 30 Cards

No apology is sufficient without sincerity, these cards lack that.With the casual attempt to clichéd humor they come across as condescending and smug rather than genuinely apologetic.If you really feel bad about your child bothering other shoppers when it has a screaming meltdown or throws food on the floor in a restaurant, an honest apology will get you more tolerance and sympathy than any of these cards. Or better yet, rather than prepare for your child's misbehavior with supposedly "witty" cards, reprimand your child when it behaves badly and clean up the mess it makes rather than make other people responsible for the consequences of your child's tantrum.We all understand that kids will act up now and then, it's passive "parenting" that antagonizes people.

These are a damn riot! I bought several . Nothing is more important to new parents than a sense of humor.

Funny, friends enjoy them.

You'll get a laugh out of this book! Perfect for new parents. If only you could detach the cards and give it to the person you were apologizing to upon departure of their establishment!!

Zero stars. New parents have it hard enough without these self deprecating try-too-hard humor cards. None of these cards describe a good reason for an apology. New parents run late because it massively hard to get a baby with its multiple needs and equipments our the door. A new father incorporating baby talk has not lots his masculinity. It’s called nurturing. I gleefully tosses these in the garbage. Utter nonsense.

These cards are a hilarious gift for new parents. Their humor has apparently been lost on many of the reviewers here. I don't think they are really intended to be used to issue a sincere apology. They are just funny to read through, and could possibly make a person chuckle, if they had the intelligence to recognize wit. The author, Lane Walker Foard, started a greeting card line several years ago that is apparently now defunct, but managed to garner quite a few loyal fans who appreciated the cards' clever and often poignant prose. These "apology" cards offer a sampling of what the greeting card business now lacks -- cards that are actually funny.

This "book" is a collection of postcards to tear out and use in different situations. It might be good to have one on hand, maybe even several copies. Tuck it in with the gift for the next baby shower you attend.The situations covered include being disruptive in a restaurant, driving erratically while tending the baby, or keeping the neighbors awake at night with the crying baby. Hopefully it will bring a smile to the face of the soon-to-be parent, though if they actually use them, it may be with gritted teeth. The humor is easier to enjoy when you don't have a wailing baby squirming in your arms.

I cannot believe that people are giving such bad reviews! I think these cards are hilarious. I would have a hard time believing that any of the negative reviewers have children and if they do then I feel really sorry for the kids.

This is brilliant whoever designed this has had kids buy itMy daughter laughed out loudWhat more can you say?
