To add DPs name on a card?

[Mumstudentbum]

Every year on Father's Day, Mother's Day etc I sign a card from me, DP and the Dcs

This year when writing a Father's Day card DP said I was being ridiculous putting him and the Dcs on the card as he wasn't their father. I asked if he ever put out names in his mum or dads cards and he said no.

Am ibu to think it's nice for the card to come from us as a family?

I signed from me and DH.

My df is fatherly to my DH - lends him tools, gives DIY advice, makes us both homemade soup to take to work, watches footy in the pub with DH - only right we both wish him HFD I think?!

I put all names on Mother's/Father's Day cards to my parents, the greetings are from all of us, it's never really occurred to me to just put my own. No idea what DH does on the ones to his parents.

We always sign the cards from all of us, my partner was the one who initially suggested it. His mum had mentioned how nice it was to write it from the whole family and that her other son only writes his name.

I don't think it really matters, I don't think my family would be bothered either way, but it can been seen as a nice gesture.

I always sign my Dad's card from me and DH, and DH signs the cards to his Dad and Step-dad from himself and me.

The way I see it, my Dad is my DH's father-in-law and I think family is about more than just who we have a blood relationship to (or even a legal relationship to - technically MIL and FIL are not married but they've been together for best part of 20 years and DH wouldn't think of him as anything less than family). My DF has a fatherly relationship with my DH and my DH does wish him a nice day. The same goes for me with DH's Step-dad (and, to a lesser degree, DH's dad).

I send separate cards from DS to his three Grandfathers.

Only put my name on Mothers and father's day cards.

Do you put your name on the children's cards to him?

I don't. Birthday cards yes - mothers/Father's Day no.

Just my name on father/mothers' day cards, all on Birthday and Christmas cards.

We write our messages individually and sign them individually. The kids don't sign Father's and Mother's Day for our parents but would sign a birthday card if they hadn't made their own one.

I sign Mother's Day and Father's Day cards from all of us.

When me and DH married my dad said he didn't lose a daughter but gained a son! DH calls my mum and dad "mum and dad" also. I call my in-laws by their first name but still send them mother/father day cards.

I have never really thought of it before but surprised it is not really the "done" thing!

Each to their own though

I only sign the Mother's Day card to my mum from me. All other cards from everyone.

My brother & SIL send a card to my mum from both of them (SIL mother passed away and she sees my mum has her mum)

It's entirely down to the people involved, but if you always have and you stop will that not open up questions/cause hurt or confusion to your parents...

I'd stick with what you have always done, I think to add a name suddenly is nice to remove suddenly suggests something might be a miss even if it's not :)

Each to their own but I just couldn't call my in-laws Mum and Dad. Would feel a bit icky.

Yanbu, its his father in law too?
