To buy my Nan a Mother's Day card?

[mcjx]

I'm very close to my grandmother and have always bought her a Mother's Day card, even since a child.

DP thinks I'm weird for doing this and asked why I buy her one. He is also close to his Nan but has never bought her a card or gift for Mother's Day.

AIBU for doing this? Do you do this for your GM?

I wish my Nan was still here to buy a card for
Me too. :( my gran was my hero. I hope these gestures showed her just how much we loved and appreciated her x

I always did this. Knew many other people who did. And I've never met anyone who actually celebrates Grandparents' Day. The card industry tried and failed with that one.

I have! She means the world to me and is the only grandparent I have now since we lost grandad a short while ago. Plus my own mother isn’t in the country much so I’ve planned to spend mother’s day with her - and my dc of course I think a card can mean such a lot and hopefully make her feel very loved.

My children always buy a card for both their nans on Mothers day.

I do! My grandma, auntie and Mam get a card and gift.

My other grandma died six years ago and is still missed and very much loved. I've sent £20 Wood Street Mission (which was her chosen charity) in her name, I would have spent money on a card and gift for her too. I wish she was here to see my son. After all, if it wasn't for my grandma, I wouldn't be here and neither would he and he lights up my life every day. She would have absolutely adored him, he looks like her.

Me and DH visited both our GMs today with a bunch of flowers and a card for each and treating our DMs tomorrow

We've never sent cards and gifts to grandparents on mother's/father's day. Not as children and but as an adult. Dd doesn't either. Despite close relationships.

I have seen such cards in shops, and to various other relations.

I can see why people may do so if their grandparents raised them or were very much the parent role for them. This wasn't the case for me - my parents very much raised me and my grandparents were just that - loving grandparents. So for me, it doesn't make sense really.

But it's not harming anyone so does it matter.
