Had to share this… too funny. Has anyone received any dubious cards?

I would be tempted to put inverted commas around 'the woman'...

I will almost certainly be getting one of these from the step sons courtesy of their mother who refers to me as 'a joke' and irrelevant... it will probably arrive just after I get back from their 2.5 hour round trip school run, caused because she decided to move on with her boyfriend an hour and a bit away Grin

I’d be tempted to give it to my parents (who have been married for 45 years) just to see the look on their faces, I know my dad would be highly amused! 😀

I'm not sure whether this is unusual or not, but DH and his ex wife are very into card giving and buy each other a card for Christmas, birthdays and mothers/fathers day. This is separate from the one they buy from their shared child to each parent. Apparently it is VERY hard to find a mother's day card that's appropriate for someone who is not your mum and who you are no longer in love with. I've considered setting up on Etsy to cater for this very niche market.

My DH had a card to "John (not his real name) and his extended family". From his first wife's relative. We've been married nearly 20 years and I've met them and they know my name but they can't bring themselves to mention my name. I quite like being called the extended family

My now DH got a card from his exMIL for several years after we met only addressed to him, even though we lived together and I regularly looked after her grandchildren.

I didn’t want or need her Christmas wishes but it was the height of pass agg rudeness.

She passed her vile attitude and lack of manners onto her daughter (his ex).
