Do you all do the birthday, Christmas, Mothers/Father's Day cards etc for your DP/H side of the family?
For numerous reasons, I've decided I'm no longer going to do it, I just fell into it really, DH never asked me to do it but I just kinda thought it was my job.
His family have never been that nice to me. Told DH his side of the family is his responsibility now, he said he's fine with that.
His mothers bday is coming up, I'm really trying to stop myself from reminding him, buying a card for him to sign, sending flowers etc.
I'll feel awful if he forgets and she thinks I'm bad mannered. She's the type of person who thinks that's all the woman's job ie admonished me for not sending DH's uncle a card for his bday, I've never met the man or knew when his bday was. Apparently I was supposed to find out all my inlaws family's bdays.
Anyway, what do you all do?
