To think it's a bit weird

[indecisivewoman81]

That my MIL sends my husband Father's Day cards?

It really winds me up.

My husband doesn't seem to think there is anything wrong with it. But I feel like it's totally not her place to do this.

I told him so and now we have had an argument and I am being made out to be irrational.

AIBU?

My exMIL does this...on his birthday, Christmas, FD etc...she signs them from our son...it's either a pass-agg dig at me or like she doesn't trust me to remember eyeroll
But she is an infantilising PITA and I can mostly ignore it as I no longer have to deal with her very often!!

Perhaps i am just sensitive to these cards and what I "feel" is being implied to me/about me.

I can't get past the fact that I do think it's weird to send an actual card to celebrate my husbands paternal attributes.

It's not my husbands fault and I wished I'd never said anything to him now.

On response to the questions:

No she doesn't stoop as low as to send him a valentines card!!

The card is from her not from my children

And no; I don't get a Mother's Day card from her lol

Thanks for all your opinions x

It's a bit weird, but then I think my mum sent me mother's day cards for the first couple.of years of DCs life - it think as a kind of 'ahh it's so special you're a mum' kind of thing!

Can't imagine sending my own son's a father's day card when they become father's though

My MIL and my own mother give both of us mothers and Father’s Day cards... in them they write about how wonderful parents we are and how proud they are... I’ve never once felt undermined and neither had my husband to my knowledge, unless there’s a massive long history of her undermining you all the time (and honestly I’ve not read the thread so sorry if there is) I can’t imagine why you’d feel undermined?

I think it’s weird too

Bit tacky.

What a strange thing to do.
