Would this even blip on your radar

Exp gave DS his Xmas card (1st Xmas since split) DS is 3 - and it doesn't even say son on it!

To be fair technically mine doesn't either it's one from moon pig with his name & photo on it.

I know it's a really minor thing but it annoys me!

Some people wouldnt be bothered but I would be a little bit. Is it just a card out of a pack?

Since when was giving 3 year olds a Christmas card a 'thing'?

I think I'm getting old.

I think you need to find bigger things to get annoyed about...

Do Christmas cards say 'son'?

Thought that was a birthday thing.

Who on earth gives their children Christmas cards, let alone personalised ones?

I think you're massively overthinking this.

I've never sent my children cards, am I supposed to?

His card doesn't have the word 'son' on it? Have I got that right (surely I can't have...?)

It would not bother me in the slightest. My family have never given each other 'named' cards, just a normal Christmas card - if we're feeling generous!

This is a bit of a non issue. Who gives their three year old child a Christmas card?!

Another one who doesn't give their children Christmas cards. Presents galore! Cards seem so utterly pointless. You're overthinking it, hugely.

Huh? DD doesn't get a Christmas card and if she did, it wouldn't say Daughter on it. Is this a thing?

Not a tradition in our family to do named Christmas cards and I don't give them to our kids. You are being silly on this one sorry!

Yep the strange thing here isn't the lack of son on the card, it's parents giving their 3yo a Xmas card in the first place

Looks like it's just me & you TheReluctantCountess not one out of a pack.

We've always done 'family' cards mum, dad, nan, grandad etc.

I've never sent cards to my children or given anyone a card with how they are related to me written on it.

Yes, it would bother me.

I am in my 40's and have always had a Christmas card from my parents, all of my family and friends do the same. According to many on MN it's chavy but we buy mum/daughter/Aunty cards. I don't care what MN think, we like it...right from the dole budging gits to the high court judge

However, he's your ex for a reason, he's going to constantly remind you why that is so... You are going to have to do a Frozen...Let It Go. Really, save your upset and anger for when it really matters, otherwise you're going to end up in a right state and it won't change anything.

I hope you and DS have a lovely Christmas

i don't give my kids christmas cards!

That's just picky - get a life

My dads never ever given me a card with daughter on, better get cracking for a full on row next time I see him

Non issue, stop looking for an argument

I hate those son, nan, wife, auntie, mum cards personally.
Can he even read at 3?

Yabu.

Thanks chipping I was starting to wonder why all the card shops bothered putting all those cards on their shelves if no one else was buying them!

i dont understand that eatshit, i want to but i don't.

what did your step mum write? love from eatshit's step mum and eatshit's adoptive father?

I find the obsession with finding a card with the right name on it odd, tbh. Just find a nice, special card for people that you think they will like. You write their name on it, hence negating the need for the pre-printed card to indicate who it's to.

Honestly, you are going to spend a lot of time annoyed with your ex if something this tiny gets you ranting

Plus...it's only the 11th!

Who gives their own kids a Christmas card? And what's more - on the 11th?!

Just...what?
