Its that time of year again when the Christmas cards arrive an my irritation begins to bubble.
I write an send the Christmas cards to friends an family, dh does none at all.

I always write on them from onlyif and dh, as please correct me if I'm wrong here, I thought female is written first, and Im writing them.
All the cards we receive from friends an family say dear dh other family members an onlyif last then to add to the insult always finish with female first then their dh. I feel like a none person. I know this is small and petty on world scale dramas but is it me being unreasonable here?

My husband was grumpy the first year I suggested that if he wanted his relatives to have Christmas cards then he would have to write them. His mother did assume that I was responsible for the subsequent lack of cards. Nobody seems to have collapsed from the shock of it all.

And to answer your question Another no, he really does not send a card to his parents. Although there isn't really a question of his parents not accepting this, there were a few raised eyebrows and comments, I made it clear that he was responsible for cards for his family, little more was said.

Why you writing the cards to his family?
I address my cards to the person I know best first. Usually that means female first as i have more female friends.

Dh does his family and friends so writes from him and northern. I sign mine from northern and dh. I address friend or relative 1st whether male of female.
A female friend once signed from her dh and than her name. Thought it odd as she is my friend.
