How rude.

Have you upset her?

Or is she just forgetful?

DH's brother does that. I don't mind for me but it pisses me off that he doesn't acknowledge our girls.

My mil addresses my birthday cards in my maiden name. I've had the same name as her for 16 years - how hard can it be?

Twiglett · 04/12/2007 13:54

handwritten on envelope

yes no doubt the card will have all our names on it .. mine and DS's I will bet now are mis-spelt though

should I open it?

I wouldn't be bothered if it was just one name on the envelope I don't think - I'd be furious if I didn't get a mention in the card though - yeah open it, it's December after all.

It is rude and yes open it!

Oh no! If you do you can't make a point about it to DH. You need toleave it for him and say you assumed it was something personal for him, since your name isn't on it!

DH gets Xmas card written by his dad's wife

"To DH, Iklboo & DS from Dad & wife"

Not LOVE from or BEST WISHES, just FROM - like he's the postman. He gets on really well with her and it upsets him. Also cos it's a cheapo one from a box of 1 million for £1 (and they are MINTED). He thinks surely they should be able to splash out 50p from Card Zone or something for one that says 'To Son & his Wife"

If yours and childrens names are on the card does it really matter? It's the card that goes on the mantelpiece, not the envelope...

Report

scattyspice · 04/12/2007 14:07

Oh I thought you ment you weren't mentioned in the card.

Not rude just lazy/busy/forgetful.

Does she always spell your name Twiglet?

RosaLuxMundi · 04/12/2007 14:12

We don't get mentioned on the card. And last year DH got a bottle of wine as a present, he didn't bother to make it a joint present and bought nothing for the girls. I rose above it (and drank half the wine anyway.)

I think I can beat it - my dh received a wedding card on our wedding day simply addressed to him and he was the only one mentioned in the card.

Who from Mistymoo? I think that does take today's prize.
