DD about to turn one. DH writing our card to her and asks me what to put - I tell him whatever he thinks. He has wished her ‘many happy returns’. I’ve told him that he’s writing a card to our baby daughter, and not someone he met five years ago on a cruise. He says that ‘many happy returns’ is a totally normal, warm greeting from a parent on their baby’s birthday. Who’s right?
YANBU - no, that’s weird
YABU - ‘many happy returns’ is a totally normal birthday greeting for your baby
Obviously this is lighthearted, and I know she can’t read so it doesn’t actually matter.
