Mother's Day card... signed by both of you?

Just wondering, if writing your retrospective Mother's a card.. do you sign yours and your partners name or just put yours to your own parent?

I put just from me to my Mum but then my Husband put both our names in MIL card but I don't actually feel that's necessary? She's never really been a Mother figure to me.

It's not weird at all, and it's not that deep. It's a personal preference, and the relationship each person has with their in laws will play a part in that too.

I hate any double signing. If I give a card it's from me. If he does it's from him.

I don't think it's deep either. If anything my literal interpretation with no further thought given is the shallow one.

But yet its deep enough for you to deem it weird 🤷‍♀️

Does something have to be deep to be found weird?

That's a deeper interpretation of the word weird than I've come across too. How very meta.

Do you hope she has a happy Mother's day?
That's what signing her card could mean. All parties obviously know she is not your mother but signing is a way of saying you (and your children) wish her a nice day. It doesn't have to mean that she is a mother figure either.
Not signing doesn't necessarily mean you don't wish her a nice day. It might just mean you think it's something specifically for the child to send to the parent.

Both. It's how my mother likes it.

A "Mum" card should be signed from the child only, possibly grandchildren at push if a separate "Grandmother" card isn't being given.

My Mum finds it really offensive though when in-laws don't have their name on the cards and put my Dad's/her name on my grandparents cards. She got really upset over it with one SIL!

Both

Mother in law. There in the title.

Also mine was amazing and frankly better than my mother.

Just me but I did send flowers and put DH and DC name on card and sent separate card from DC to grandma. Bit inconsistent! DH sorts out card and flowers for his mum and I've no idea what he puts.

Never done a card from DC to grandmothers either. That's a whole other weird thing to me

We all sign it, but then I'm very close to my mother-in-law and she's been like a mum to me since my own mum died.

A whole other shallow 🤣

Yep, keeping it simple!

My lovely mother in law was more of a mother to me than my stepmother ever was, so we always signed cards from both of us.
