To think it’s normal to give to grandmothers on Mother’s Day.

Do you give cards to gifts to your children’s grandmothers or your own grandmothers??

I’ve always done so for my granny/dc’s great Granny and I also get a card and gift for dc to give to my mum - their Granny.

All the shops have cards and gifts for grandparents too so I always thought it was normal. I’ve always liked to treat my own granny. She’s an incredible woman. I’ve only ever met my granny on my mums side. I don’t know my dad or his family.

My partner doesn’t think it’s normal and you should just get for your mum and that’s it. He doesn’t think dc should get a card or anything for his mum - nanny.

Who’s being unreasonable here?

He was never close to his grandmothers so maybe that’s why he doesn’t think it’s normal?

I get a card for my mum, and she gets a card for her mum/my grandma. So everyone gets a card but only from their own child.

I did give cards to my grandma when I was a small child, but she looked after me 5 days a week and probably did more 'mothering' things than my mum. My mum now lives in a different country to me/my DC, so it's a very different grandparent relationship.
