My DH is really crap at buying Christmas/birthday presents, so, rightly or wrongly, I usually do it for both sides of our family. I don't mind, I'm good at it and I'm very decisive. I also do cards. When sending them out this morning it has occurred to me that I might have been a bit U. I have sent MIL and SILx2 generic Xmas cards (think Aldi multipack cards), whereas I've sent my parents, brother and grandparents fancy personalised Moonpig type cards with a picture of DC on the front.
I didn't do this maliciously, I like DHs family in small doses but my family make a much bigger deal about Christmas. I suppose part of me also thinks that it really should be DHs responsibility to do these cards, and as he's relinquished control of gifts/cards to me then he should accept the basic card service I provide
(he's very grateful I should add, and pulls his weight in other areas!)
No one will be meeting up and comparing cards, so no issues about anyone feeling upset, but have I been mean?
In case it makes a difference, MIL & SIL1 haven't got me a birthday card or gift, erm, ever (7 years...), they are pretty scatty, it's not malicious (I hope), so I leave their birthdays up to DH, on principle
