Maybe its just the wrong time of year joeluke, and haven't most of them gone bust. I know Asda sell Mr&Mr wedding cards, so maybe come Sept/Oct the cards you are looking for will become available.

Actually - I've been thinking about your argument, and if you change 'Merry Christmas' to 'Happy Anniversary', then you're point holds water. There are very few 'Happy Anniversary Mum and Mum / Dad and Dad'' cards for same sex couples, but that may be because the market is still relatively small.
This will no doubt change over the next few days as demand increases - in the same way that Clintons now stock a (very small) selection of civil partnership cards (as opposed to wedding cards).

i always buy my mum and dad a joint xmas card (but i am tight). However, the availabilty or otherwise of cards does not dictate what relationships occur. I have never seen a "to mum and your lover xmas card either but as 48% of marriages end in divorce, i bet there's a fair few of "mums +lovers" in the country
anyone with any sensae at all is honest with children, so I'd like to think most same sex couple would have pre thought that Andres and would have headed that quesiton off by being honest with their child, so I doubt that will much of a problem. Some other children might ask mind you, and when they do they should be asnwered honestly.
and the answer remains the same, just tell them the truth. Why would you wish to misinform and lie to children ( even if it's just by omission) about anything and put them at a disadvantage? Children accept things well if they are treated with maturity and this will help greatly in squashing the problem of homophobia.
"So some think that children as young as five understand about gay relationships? absolute Poppy-Cock"
Just who the HELL do you think you are to ask for opinions then give this sort of INSULTING answer? (this coming from the person who is always accusing others of insulting him)
You really are the most atrocious hypocrite, Git.
