Sending your parents a wedding anniversary card

[Needablueskyholiday]

For context - my husband sends his parents a wedding anniversary card every year. His parents married before he was born. I think it’s weird? He said he’s always done it and his mum would be upset if he didn’t. On big anniversaries he buys gifts, as again his mum would be upset if he didn’t.

YANBU - yes that’s weird
YABU - nothing wrong with that

Our kids started giving DH and I are card when they were in their teens.
I did find it a bit strange as we never sent cards to parents/inlaws, we are not big card people and they are not bothered about receiving cards.
They still do it now they are in their 20s and 30s so obviously picked it up from somewhere; was it a thing on a to show?

It is weird to me as I am not a card or anniversary type person. We did buy my mum and dad presents/had a "do" or meal out for significant anniversaries such as silver, ruby, golden etc.

If your dh is happy to do it, then no harm. If he doesn't want to do it, resents it, and only does because there will be "consequences" if he doesn't, then like any card or present, that is wrong.

Either way he is an adult so I would leave him to it and not analyse it for him unless he actually asked for advice.
