My mother gets a card signed by me, my MIL gets a card signed by DH. We don't sign either of them from all of us.

Yes we do because they are both mums to both of us iyswim? They also do alot for my children so i think it's nice my children are included on the cards. I think not putting their names on would be more odd.

I get a grandma card from DS as my mum does a hell of a lot for him.

I don't have a DH to put on the card though, but if I did, I don't think I would - his mum is his mum, my mum is my mum...

my dh signs mil card from all of us but i find it odd.i just put my mums from me.

JingleyJen · 24/02/2008 10:52

Good question, I really can't remember what I do. I think they come from both of us.

I think they should just be from the son/daughter.

How far do you all go with bullying your DH to remember his mums' birthday, and to send her something onnMother's Day?

My DH is terrible for this sort of thing, but I really don't want to feel responsible for making him remember. If I nag him about it it makes him seem like a child, and me seem like his mum (..which must mean he should send me a card )

We signed my mum's from me, and his mum's from him (because if I had signed MIL's, it would've had a letterbomb in it too )

Ours are just signed by the person's child.

In fact card to MIL is nothing to do with me (I refuse to buy one for her as cannot get a handle on her taste (she likes a "nice verse"). Have just reminded DH tho lol.

MsHighwater · 24/02/2008 23:34

Don't have a MIL (dh's mum died b4 we wed) but my Mum gets a card signed by me, dh and our dd. She also gets a card from dd separately!

fingerwoman · 24/02/2008 23:38

i get one for my mum and sign it from me.
dp sometimes remembers to get his mum one and sign it from him.

fingerwoman · 24/02/2008 23:39

why do ppl include their kids names??? it's mothers day, not grandmothers day.
that's bizarre.

bigboydiditandranaway · 25/02/2008 15:58

Thanks for that we previously haven't known what to do, so signed it from all of us but now will sign it just from us individually(dh & i)

Lol at letterbomb littlewoman, i feel the same about my mil!!
