We could send nuts. Not nuts as in "please renew Jericho," but nuts as in "You're nuts to not be grateful every day just to have a daughter as awesome as Allyson."
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Happy birthday, Allyson! I'm sorry your father is being a stupid head.
I can run into Kroger braless and in inside the house clothes, right?
Normally I would insist that inside clothes are not okay in outside places, but when you need to pick up meds, totally go as you are, man.

I put on a bra. I just couldn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That is a benefit of winter -- put on a coat, and you're good to go!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Seriously, Allyson-Dad? WTF? My parents helped with half my tuition during my college years and haven't made a PEEP because--HELLO! EDUCATED PROGENY NEED LESS HELP LATER ON!
DH and I are contemplating a cage match between Owen and Olivia--the winner gets college paid for. The good thing is that they both already have more in a college fund than I had my senior year of high school.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm sorry, Allyson. That's not the way you treat someone if you want them to visit.

I am happy to send Allyson's Dad a buck of STFU every month and possibly another buck of KISS ALLYSON'S ASS.

Always Anti-fascist!
sorry you're in the crappy dad club this week, Allyson. "I'm not just a client...I'm the President." (Yes, my dad bought this computer...but it was a rare oasis among the crappiness.) I'm sure I won't get a birthday gift now, or something.
