Do you give your mum/MIL a card from your DCs on Mothers Day?

[Flyonthewindscreen]

I ask because I get cards from my DCs and my DH gets a card for his mum but I lost my own mum at 11 so haven't had any reason to look for mothers day cards for a long time. Happened to glance at a display today and noticed lots that were "To a great nana on mothers day" etc. Never occured to me that my DC should be giving cards etc to MIL as well as me, do other people do this?

No I don't

No.. is just a money making excersise!

We do

We do-DD has made them for them for the first time this year.

I guess I do it because my Mum always got me to send them to my 2 Grannies.

Though, weirdly, I wouldn't even think of doing it for Grandads on Father's Day.

no

we do, it probably is all a money making exercise but my Mom and MIL really love getting a card from my DS and he loves giving them so it brightens everyones day (we have made them this year so it was even more fun).

I get my Stepdad a Grandad card on Dads day as well (I lost my Dad years ago and although I think the world of my stepdad would never get him a fathers day card), he loves getting a Grandad card I think it is the hi-light of his year.

no

No, we don't.

No because my children have 1 mother, grandmother's don't count on Mother's day imo; well as far as grandchildren go if you see what I mean.

No, DD doesn't send her own cards to grandparents. Only person DD sends a card to is me, her mummy.

DD does sign the cards we write to our mums though.

I did, however, recieve a card today from my godson - says to my Godmother on it. I didn't even know they existed.

no, just sign her card from all of us

Yes, we do. This year ds has made them.
I think it's lovely for grandparents to get something from the dc's.

I'll probably get flamed for writing this next bit ... but ....
If you want to get technical about it all - historically, Mothering Sunday is actually the day when children who went away to work all year long came back to the mother church (i.e. where they grew up) to see their families and go to service. The 'Mother' part of it actually refers to the church as opposed to their Mum.

So if you follow that through, there's no reason why granny shouldn't enjoy some of the love either.

Let the flaming begin..

No

And I take mothers day quite seriously!

No, she's not dd's mum. She gets a card from dh.

In fact, I'm pretty against the whole thing because, as Scarlotti says, it's about the Mother Church and not mothers at all. Nevertheless, dd has to give me a card and choc or something because they do stuff at school so she has to. I take it in the spirit in which it is given, but I'll be glad when she's older and can't be bothered anymore!

No, I don't even put the Dses names on the cards we sent to mu Mum and MIL.
However, step FIl gets a card form teh Dses on Father's day, as he has no children of his own, and my step dad gets a grandad one, for the same reasons as Elligant does it. my dad died when I was 16.

no she is my mother and not my DC's

It is just a money making exercise for the card manufactures and l would much rather have a home made effort and breakfast in bed than a bought card.

On saying that my daughter brought me a sandwich in cheese a few years ago. Made with 1/2lb cheese slapped between to very thick ouside pieces of dry bread.And she sat at the end of my bed until l ate it

No

no

Yes but hate it. She loves it though.
Also hate the whole me buying her birthday/christmas present thing too but thats by the by.

Yes but I don't really like doing it. They love it though and would be hurt I expect if I stopped doing it now.

No.

NO.

It is Mothers Day. Grandparents day is at another time of the year, slthough I ignore that one too!

I do but only for my mum - ds is the PFGS.
It keeps the peace and is a nice gesture. MIL's much more laid back as she has 4 other dgcs! Though I had to remind DH umpteen times to get her a card from himself

(I don't get a Mother's day (via DH) card as ds is too young at 15mo to understand what it's about, however I got one he made at nursery!)

No.
We sign the cards from us as from us and then put 'DD loves you too' or words to that effect after that.
I never sent a card to my grandparents on Mothers/Fathers day and I don't see why DD should.
