Normally I know if I'm being u but this time I'm really unsure! Before you read, beware that it's a boring one!

Whenever we've got cards up for birthdays/Christmas DP's mum and step dad always pick them up and read the written messages inside and I always find it a bit rude!

DP and I aren't overly soppy but we will write a little bit of a cringe soppy message sometimes.

His mum just picked up a card from my sister (which in all fairness should have been put away but DP put it up and I hadn't noticed) and read the long personal note written inside, we don't make a habit of writing long paragraphs but we've recently made up from a fall out so it was more to do with that and it made me uncomfortable watching her stand and read it!

I know it's a non issue and I always forget until they do it again but I wouldn't dream of going in to someone's house and reading cards, happy to be told I'm U and it's what people do though because I'm genuinely unaware of what the social norm is around this now!

MIL does this, and she will pick up and look at any letters or photos we leave in view - rude and nosey!
