To put my name first on present labels?

[mumwithatum]

I buy and wrap all of the gifts for both hub's and my family. I have a large family, his is quite small. When I write labels for my family I start with from me, then him then 3 kids in age order. When it's for his family I write him, me then three kids in age order as an easy way to differentiate between Dad and and Mum presents for his parents and because it's his family.
Yesterday I wrote his dads label and because I was so used to following his name with my kids I ended up writing my name at the end. I laughed and mentioned this to hubs who told me that really his name should always be first as that is the tradition... eg Mr and Mrs.
I told him that it wasn't happening, that it was outdated and that he wasn't more important than me, and that as I did all the work I got the first credit. (This was all said in jest between us).
I then wrote the labels on the kids present from us and realised that I always put mum then dad.
Although I prob won't change my labelling method as it works, it did make me wonder how others might perceive it. So, what do you guys think? AIBU? And what do you guys do?

When I see the DW has written herself first, it smacks of a silly statement being made, along the lines of 'im an insecure wo man and I neeeeed to be first! I'm important!'

How funny. When I see a woman has put her husband's name first on gifts (she has bought) to her friends and family it smacks of a silly statement being made, on the lines of "I'm an insecure woman and I must put my husband first because men are more important"

(light hearted)

All those moaning Minnie’s complaining about others having too much time on their hands and using words like ‘hubs’ or ‘hubster’ .

What a sad load of grinchy grumps, you are.

OP, hubs here chooses and buys at least 50% of the presents but if I’m wrapping any of them, I vary the order of names, sometimes starting with DS. It gets a bit boring, otherwise.

[DickDewy]

This has made me think of how family and friends sign cards etc. Without exception, the woman’s name first, even if written by the man.

We also refer to every couple we know as woman’s name first.

[NoSauce]

“Hubs” is hideous. Just why???

[Celebelly]

I think most couples have an 'order' to their names that flows better in general? When I think of the couples I know, they tend to always be called in the same order and doing it the other way round sounds weird. Ours is like that too. I always sign ours in that way because that's what everyone calls us when speaking about us as a pair. The other way round would be like writing 'tock tick' or 'clop clip'!

Exactly. Many a giggle at those silly ladies who try to make silly statements. Oh, lightheartedly of course.

[MyMajesty]

You've got it right, OP.

(How does your DH feel about being called hubs?)

[Luckingfovely]

Oh to have time in the day to worry about such pointless nothings!

[Petrichor11]

If DH cares about the name order then he can plan, budget, choose, buy and wrap the gifts, then write the names in whatever order he likes. Otherwise since you’re writing them, do it in the order you please

[Pjsandbaileys]

Dad and mum sounds weird, like Dec and Ant, large and little etc don't know why though 😁 I do agree for his family his name goes first, your family your name first. Again I don't know why it's just the rule haha

[Yetanotherwinter]

I always put husband, me, son, dog.

[Parker231]

I put from ‘xxx family’. I’ve no idea what DH puts on the presents to his family.

[NameChangeNugget]

What a non-event. Nobody will care

[notangelinajolie]

Ladies before gentlemen. It's manners.

[KarmaStar]

Does it really matter?

[astralweaks]

heartsonacake

YABVU for calling him “hubs”.

[steff13]

I go by age; my husband first, then me, then the kids oldest to youngest.

[22Giraffes]

My family: me, him, kids
His family: him, me, kids
DC: mum and dad 'cos dad and mum is just weird and wrong!

[Itsnotalwaysme]

I do mine first for my family and his first for his family. I'd feel weird doing it the other way Haha

[Babyg1995]

I stopped reading at hubs

[Spacerader]

Presents to my family it's my name his name DC, his family is then his name my name DC. We find it's the same when we receive presents or cards also if it's of his family it's his name my name DC,and so on.

Except today we opened a card off his nan and it was my name, his name and he noticed immediately, joking that I obviously have gone up in the pecking order.

[Genzeee]

This site is so up itself. She can say ‘hubs’ if she wants ffs.

[cstaff]

Whoever writes the cards can put themselves first if they want. Guess it's going to continue to be my name at the starting point

[Mulledwineinajug]

It’s not always like Mr and Mrs though. The woman often comes first, like Bride and Groom

[Okbutno]

Ffs if my husband said to me he should go first because its tradition for the man to go first he'd not be my husband for long! Is it the 50s?
