Can't help myself, I find this to be weird

So my husband's brother's wife left him earlier this year.

We get a Christmas card with a picture of the kids and all it says at the bottom (part of the design) is Season Greetings.

My Mom, MIL, and myself were all driving together in a car and my mom makes the comment that is weird to see the card signed "SIL, niece, niece". My MIL and I tried to convince my mom that she saw that wrong, saying it just said "Season's Greetings" and there was no signature.

My mom goes home and calls me to say that she didn't imagine it, it's definitely there. So I hold my card up to  other photo cards like that from other people and discover she cut the bottom off?

I think it's strange, husband disagrees. I find fault with everything she does, he never finds faults with anything she does, so both definitely have our biases.

  • She had some she accidentally signed "Love, BIL, SIL, and kids" before she woke up and realized. 

     

    SO SINGS MY SOUL *WHAM!* MY SAVIOR GOD TO THEE *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!* HOW GREAT THOU ART *WHAM!*
  • haha...so she didn't actually sign any of them, these were printed like that, like you would on Snapfish or Shutterfly

  • Ah; then she had some printed off that included bil's name. OOOOOPS

  • That is weird. Maybe she feels guilty about leaving BIL?

  • Yeah, I think that it is kinda weird - but sounds like a typical guy. haha.  I think that if I asked my DH the same thing, he would be like your DH and feel it was no big deal!

  • So, what happened? She ordered and sent some cards with a 'from' with her name and the kid's names .... and sent some cards with that bit cut out?

    Yeah, that's odd and weird. 

    But I will add that since you all traded notes on her card and discected it at such length it makes me pause and think she had plenty to worry about.

    My darling daughter just turned 4 years old.

    honestly, I don't think we would have talked that much about it had she not have done this. The moms talked about the one I sent, one they both got with one of my friends baby, and this one, and my mom just said "it was weird for me not to see D's name" (not that he should have been included but it's just new for us)...so that's when we and MIL were trying to convince her she was wrong, so it turned it to this whole conversation.
