Re: Mother's Day poll

  • Do you buy the card from YH to his mom? Yes... DH always forgets about cards.What about the gift?  That would be me again.  She is always so cheap so I like to pick the spending limit on presents.  This year, we missed her birthday so we are combining Mother's Day and her bday.What are you/him getting your MIL? Tickets to the Harry Potter movie exhibit in NYC.What are you giving your mother? Every Mother's Day we do a brunch (I usually cook ans my sister does dessert).  I'm in charge of the Mimosa supplies this year due to my "condition" lol.Do you get your own seperate card for MIL or does H get a seperate card for your mother? or do you jointly sign them?  Jointly sign them... and I just sign his name.  I never make him sign his own name to anything.
    what about gift, joint gift or separate gifts?  Joint.  We don't buy anything for his Step Mother though or send her a card.  I think she would be shocked if we did as they haven't been together that long.

  • Do you buy the card from YH to his mom?  HELL NO

    What about the gift?  He's on his own.

    What are you/him getting your MIL?  Don't know.  Don't care.

    What are you giving your mother?  Tickets to see Rain on Broadway

    Do you get your own seperate card for MIL or does H get a seperate card for your mother? or do you jointly sign them? I get her nothing and I sign his name to my Mom's card.

    what about gift, joint gift or separate gifts?  She knows the present is from me, but my 2 stupid brothers claim they are giving me money for these tickets (doubt it) so it's a "joint present" from me and my brothers.  Hubs is "automatically" included by me.

     

    Aren't I just a ray of friggin sunshine when it comes to Mother's Day?

    Do you buy the card from YH to his mom? yes, DH doesn't "believe" in cards (I've never received a card in 5 years) so if I didn't get the card, there would be no card

    What about the gift? we usually get a joint gift with SIL and BIL and SIL usually takes care of it.  this year we got her a kindle (it's also her bday present from all of us bc her bday is next wed.) and DH is the techy guy of the bunch.

    What are you/him getting your MIL? kindle

    What are you giving your mother? a printer from us, my brother and my dad

    Do you get your own seperate card for MIL or does H get a seperate card for your mother? or do you jointly sign them? all cards are from both of us.  I write most of the cards but usually make DH write to his mom bc she got mad when I wrote out her card to Linda and not "mom".  Like you know the card is from me, it was my handwriting and DH has NEVER bought you a card. 

    what about gift, joint gift or separate gifts? everything is joint and with our siblings generally.
