To think it's a bit odd to send Father's Day card from boyfriend as well?

[AStatelyPleasureDome]

Just wondering if you would send a Father's Day card (or Mother's Day) from your DP as well as yourself?

DH received a card signed from DD to Dad and from her DP addressed to Christian name, and signed by both.

We are not particularly close to him, so it's not as though he sees us as parent figures, I don't think. It just appears a bit odd, or AIBU?

I include DH on cards to my parents for mother’s/father’s day. Have done for quite a while now, since before we were married.

Cards aren’t addressed to the parent’s Christian name though. Always mom or dad.

It’s habit I think because I do it for the birthday and Christmas cards too!

I imagine not that much thought went into it and he just signed it as he would a birthday or christmas card. I don't think I've signed the card for fathers day or mothers day or DH but I might have done absent mindedly since I'd be getting DH and DS to sign it.

We write all our names on Father’s Day cards to my Dad and FIL. Both of ours plus the children.

Ye dh always puts his name on. He views my dad as his own.

No I find it odd. Birthday/ Christmas cards all of our names go on but not fathers/Mother's Day, Mil and Fil aren't my parents why would I send them a card?

I find it odd. Birthday or christmas cards from us both, but fathers or mothers day cards are only ever from me. He has his own parents.

I'd find it odd. I don't write my partners name in either my Father's Day or Mother's Day card.
I do for all family and friends birthday cards and xmas cards as is the norm but wouldn't even consider the other two.

Husband writes mothers/fathers day cards and puts my name on, I think they’d find it odd if he didn’t??

As in, to his own parents (I write the one fir my own mum).

Proper weird. It isn’t his dad.

I don't like putting my name on PIL mother's/father's day cards but apparently his mum tought it was odd and panicked something was wrong when i didnt put my name on her mother's day card. This prompted a whole discussion on father's day. His dads was from us both. Lesson learned. I dont see why i should be included. Hes not my dad but apparently it matters to DH and PIL so... meh.

I think that's nice. It shows her DP feels they are joining your family too and that your DH is a father in law type figure. I'd take it as a compliment.

We used to do this. Infact I was the one who bought all the MD and FD cards anyway for PIL as well as my DParents. We all signed each one or I signed it on their behalf no matter who was the bio DC. Tbh at one point my young DC were adding in cat & hamster names as well . ...Pretty sure none of grandparents were offended at seeming to be related to our pets!!

I wrote my name in DPs dad’s card. My dad is dead, and DPs Dad has been more fatherly to me anyway. I think it depends on the relationship though.

I've always signed every card to other people from both of us since we've been together, we are a couple, it would be strange if cards were not addressed from both of us.

I did put my name in DPs dad's fathers day card... I've never had a dad and whilst I don't call him dad he's probably the closest thing to a father figure to me and he does a lot for us and I really appreciate him.

But I wouldn't put in DPs mum's mothers day card bevause I have my own mum and don't see her as a motherly figure... more just a acquaintance/friend

However i realise I am weird.

I signed my Dad’s card from DP too; he doesn’t have a Dad of his own and he adores mine.

I only sign mine and daughter's name on mother/father day cards. DP is not their son. I'm not even their daughter (grandparents). They do put his name in cards though at Christmas and send him birthday cards.

If it's a generic Christmas card, I sign all 3 of us.

I don't send his mum a MD card , and find it very odd that his mum and step-father always buy my cards labelled "dil" (we aren't married) or, even worse, just "daughter" I know it's coming from the right place but it makes me feel awkward.

I signed my DPs dads card from us both. Didn't occur to me that it would be odd, he's a wonderful dad and a bloody fantastic father in law (not technically in law as we aren't married but still) so it made sense to me. My dad is a waste of space and I haven't seen him since I was 14, I feel very lucky to have DPs dad.

I sign Father’s Day and mother’s day cards from me only. I sign birthday and Christmas cards from me, DH and the DC.
Mind you I’m a sahm and my df wanted me to extend his thanks to my DH (who wasn’t there as he was visiting his own df) because “he’s very good to let me spend money on him”

So, about 50/50 then, especially where there is a legal DIL or SIL relationship.

We always sign both names on MD and FD cards, I class my PIL as second parents, my DH isn't quite as close to my DP but it's just something we do. I don't get GP cards for MD or FD though, I find that weird.

Unusual I guess. Does it really matter though? I get cards to grandpa from my step-children's kids on father's day. They're not technically my grandkids and it's not Grandfathers day. I think it's really nice, others may think it's odd but I don't care.

FIL is always from us both - probably only since we got married though and I was officially part of the family. He's not my father, but my father in law and he is a great FIL.

The kids give a grandad card from themselves.

Same for mother's day - my mother does alot to help us out so why wouldn't Dh thank her on mother's day also?

Both in this house too, he might not be dh's dad but he still wishes him a happy Father's day, it never struck me as weird

I include my boyfriend on my mums Mother's Day card x she likes it, he's part of the family - plus I'm just used to signing everything from both of us x
