Greetings card question

I have one DD, and a DSD and DSS who live with us part time, 50/50.

Obviously, when we send most of our birthday/thanks/Christmas/whatever cards, they are signed from Me, OH, and all our children.

However, there are some people in my life that don't know my step children. This is because I sometimes visit family on my own with DD when OH is away on work trips, and because I sometimes go away for work and take DD with me.

So, given these less-close friends and extended family members have never laid eyes on my step children, is it weird to add their names to the card? It feels odd, and yet also wrong to leave their names off, as we are a family!

Any thoughts?

I would put them all on as it's a family card. Even if they have never met them and aren't likely to either, they will still know about them.

Thanks for responding! That's basically what I have been thinking so will do that.

I agree. Add them on. As long as it's a context where you'd include children, they're all your children.

Yes, put them all on :)
