AIBU about birthday card?

[Teawithtoast]

I'd like to judge if the slight disappointment I am feeling is unreasonable.

It was my birthday yesterday and DH got me a really thoughtful gift and card. We have DS 8 months. I had bought DH a personal gift from DS for Christmas and in return received a lovely tin of luxury hot chocolate from DS. More than happy with that.

However, for my birthday, DH didn't even sign his birthday card from DS. Of course DS is a small baby and has no idea what's going on, but it would have been nice for me to have an acknowledgement from DS on my birthday. Its DH's birthday in three weeks time and I have a little gift and card already from DS prepared. Should I give it to DH and risk him feeling awkward? Or should I lump it on from both of us. I don't want to be petty and not include DS in DH's present.

If one of the gifts you bought is a grip, I suggest you hang on to it.

I think cards from kids that they make themselves = adorable.

Cards from babies who don't even know their own names let alone be able to write/draw/scribble = ridiculous and OTT.

Just my own view...

Ridiculous. Once they old enough I'd hope dh would encourage kids to make or squiggle on a card but till then...

Well I don't don't think you're being unreasonable! I think it's sweet and really made my birthdays and Mother's Days.

Our oldest DC is 17 and from my first birthday/Mother's Day since he was born my DH has always 'helped' the baby/children sign my cards as do I for all his birthday/Father's Day cards.
It's not something that was ever discussed, it's just how it always was but in saying that my DH's 'mother' left them when he was young so he wanted to give our kids the mum/son relationship that he never had. (At that stage we were LC with her, we are now NC with her and have been for many years).
