To find this odd? MIL gave DS's gifts and money to give to DH for Fathers Day

Let me just start by saying I have no intention of causing any trouble over this I just wanted to know if anyone else finds it strange.

MIL is lovely but has, in the past done things that I have personally found undermining and a little hurtful.

This afternoon DH and our 2 DS's went to visit FIL and give him some nice cards and a gift. I stayed home because I'm not feeling the best.

When they got home I asked if they had a nice time and if FIL liked his stuff, DH replied "Yes, Mum also got presents and ten pounds for the boys to give to me"

He has already had two personalised cards and a bunch of gifts which I bought for the boys to give their dad. He always gets something for Fathers Day.

She has never done it before - AIBU to be the tiniest bit annoyed? Apparently, she made a big show of them giving the stuff to DH.

My grandma bought DH a fathers day card and a box of Milk Tray, no idea why! He's been a dad for 7yrs and she's never done it before Confused puzzled us a bit but we didn't really give it much more thought than that.

Why does it matter? Really.
I don't understand why so many women are offended.
Am I missing something obvious?

MIL sent my OH a text message saying 'Happy Fathers Day' - (Dd is 10 months) she's also lovely but very 'where's your daddy' , daddy this/that etc-
My other half mentioned she said another word the other day, 'hello', and straight away MIL said 'that's you, you always say 'hello' to her......' raised eyebrows a plenty, even my OH had to say something.....'the SON does shine etc....'
