Twice a year me and the wife argue about who we should put the cards 'from'. She says it should just have our names on, I think it should also have my daughter's on it too. Her point is that it's not 'Grandad's Day' but surely if that's the rule then it shouldn't have my wife's name on either as it's not 'In-law's Day'

What do you lot do?

Well , if you go by the card shops , they have cards for grandparents. Thats what my missus does (aparently)

It's 'father's day', so unless you and your wife are also brother and sister, only put your name on it. He's not her father.

can not spell grandfather without father can you?

Maybe that's why she's confused, she is from Rotherham, funny sorts there

My point too!

Another person has voted for 'me, the wife and daughter'! What sort of strange people do we have here?! It's father's day! Not grandfather's day or father-in-law's day. Christ!

I only used to put my name on both cards.

When she introduces him , is he not her father in-law ?

Well it's all fun and pretty meaningless. I would put everyone down including the dog - except I haven't got a father

I like your logic there.

My honest opinion is that it should be just you as their son or daughter signing the card, and their partners shouldn't moider them to have their name on the card as well. You put your parents as secondary and start new life with your partner as it is. For that one day, just on the card, you can be their whole and sole son or a daughter for a change; the one they had years ago ('years ago' is properly used here). Your partner should be able to give you that little space, for goodness's sake. Then again, good and understanding parents wouldn't mind at all if you put everyone's name on the card either, including your neighbours'.

To the OP:

In fact, if you have been putting yours and your partner's name on the card 'for years' anyway, I wouldn't go around changing that tradition. If you do, your parents may think that you have fallen out with your partner, and get all worried about you. You don't want that. Not on Father's or Mother's day.

I say continue as it is. Put both of your names on the card. Peace all round.

I used to think it should just be me as its my dad and not my wife or daughters dad, but now I really don't care. It's only a card and I'm sure my dad isn't too bothered how many names are in the card he's just appreciative of getting one.

I got a card from the dogs with a voucher for some slippers in it - after Lucy ate one..
