AIBU? Mother's Day

[Hazelnut89]

Last years got in trouble with my mum for not putting my husbands name in a card for my mum on Mother's Day (it was the first after we got married) this year I put his name in it but got told off for not putting our daughters name in it!
Another my one or is this weird? To me a Mother's Day card should come from your child and your child only

I'm with you! My mother is not my husband's mother...why would I put his name on a card?

Maybe she wanted a grandmother card from your daughter? I think she is being overly precious.

I used to put mine and my ex DS name on the card when we were married. But, I wouldn't put my children's name on it!

I was puzzled by this too OP. In the end I signed from me, dp and ds where as my dp signed his card to his mother only from himself. Interested to see what other people did so I get it right next year!

Both me and dh sign cards from all of us, so me, dh, dd and ds

When you say "in trouble" do you mean an offhand remark or a proper tongue-lashing? This seems like a bit of a trivial thing for your mum to get worked up about.

I put me & DH, but not DS. Next year put you, your DH, DD, your DD's favourite teddy, imaginary friend and all your pets - with a 'and anyone else who knows you' at the end.

I had this dilemma when writing my card so in the end put it from me with DH and DD's name in brackets!

DH is in massive trouble for not sending MIL a physical card. She didn't send either of us a birthday card this year (big '0' birthdays) or DD, their only a grandchild, a 1st birthday card or present as she says the post is unreliable from Spain. Apparently it works fine the other way though.

I had a similar dilemma this year! I opted for the dds making cards for dm and dmil from them, a separate card just me or dp and "attheend and co" on the present.

YANBU - my boys are still small, but I wouldn't expect future girlfriends / partners to sign a mother's day card from them to me any more than I sign one from dh to his mother (not that he ever sends her one).

Weird. It should be from the 'child/children' not anyone else.

Yep, weird.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I can kind of understand putting husbands name as she's now mother in law (obviously) but our daughter is ours not hers! She won't even change her nappy so why would her name be in a Mother's Day card to her grandmother?
