My son sent me a birthday card?

My MIL was notoriously ‘frugal’. One year she bought DD1 a birthday card (14th birthday) saying Happy Birthday God-daughter. Rather than get another - she crossed it out, wrote Grand Daughter and sent it. An odd woman and we still talk about her ‘cheap’ ways! X

Welbeck.

AGAA4A, hope his mother didn't see it, or worse still, her BIL..

? DanniRae. I like your son’s sense of humour too.

My husband once received a card from his dad which read "Happy Birthday to a Dear Nephew"

Apparently it was all they had in the local shop!

My daughter had a habit of saying 'this is all I could get', when giving me something. Rather spoiled the pleasure of receiving a gift.

I may have been touched to the point of becoming dewy eyed when my then teenage DS handed over a Super Mum mug one Mother’s Day (still in a Hallmark paper bag, but what the hey). He panicked a bit and said he’d just bought it because it had a bashed box and was in the half price bin. He has improved since then.

Still my go-to mug though.

Oh sorry I didn't get the card picture the first time. I thought you meant me. Oh I think I'd better go back to bed.

Have I done something wrong Maw? I was just sharing something I thought was funny.
?

Still not quite sure how I was meant to take this....

Happy Birthday Illte- ???

One of my sons sent me a personalised Moonpig card for my birthday last year.......he had forgotten to change the name on the front to his apparently I have a daughter called Debbie his siblings will not let him forget this anytime soon.

It did make us laugh thou ??

"You've been like a mother to me" Absolutely Glorious!

and Happy Birthday Illte

Happy Birthday Illte that made me chuckle

A friend bought an anniversary card for her uncle and his wife. She was so focused on finding a nice sentiment inside that she didn’t notice until she got home that on the front it said To My Son & Daughter-in-Law.

Oh Happy Birthday! Best laugh all day! (and yesterday)

Happy Birthday Illte! My son must be your son's twin!

Happy Birthday ? . What a lovely sense of humour your son has ?.

Illte, I think you and he share a sense of humour! Great

BTW "Happy Birthday!"

Makes a change from "It must have got lost in the post" Smileless. ?

I love my son's sense of humour - a few years ago he sent me a Mother's Day card saying "You've been like a Mother to me!"
Luckily I thought it was hilarious!!

Same here Smileless! Bless them!

Your son has a gsh as does his mum. We made our own cards during lockdown with a programme dh has on his computer - called them lockdown specials.
A very happy birthday to you.

Son's are great aren't they.

DS lives in Aus. and mother's day there is in May so I don't get a mother's day card in March, or May for that matter. My birthday is in May and about a week after my birthday I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a card 'For a wonderful mum from a forgetful son'.

We spoke to him on face time a couple of days later and he said his choice of card was 'playing safe'. He knew he'd missed mother's day, thought he'd forgotten my birthday so was hedging his bets.
