Mom to Mom

[panda1234]

My daughter in law does not really call me by name or mom like some do. I am sending them an anniversary card and not sure how to sign it, I know how stupid. My parents always signed our cards mom and dad and under that their names. Just wondering how everyone else does it.

I just sign ,Love mom xxoo     

[Love my grandkids]

@panda1234 I always sign mine "love, mom/my name" as my DIL is wonderful!! but she is very close to her own mom and we agreed early on that calling me by my first name worked just fine for both of us! I love her to death.

What does she call you?

My sons-in-law call my husband and I by our first names.  So if I sign a card just to a son-in-law I use our first names but if it were a card to both my daughter and son-in-law, I would sign it mom & dad/(our first names).

How about "Love Mom (first name)"?  Doesn't that cover all bases?

@Love my grandkids   I think I will copy you with mom/my name.

Everyone (and I have a very large extended family) we all call each other by our names.....I've posted here before...my name is Linda and that's what I want my sons-in-law to call me.

I'm not THEIR mom and my late husband was not THEIR father.

If other's want to call them mom or dad that's totally a preference but if it was said to me I'd say, "Thanks...but is it OK if you call me Linda...that's what I prefer.

I would think some mom and dad's might feel slighted.  I wouldn't care, I guess.

Thank goodness I don't have that in my family.

To my oldest daughter I'm mom, to my middle daughter she calls me (sometimes) mommie and my youngest calls me mom or Marmy (after Little Women).  She has called me that sometimes since she was very little.

I referred to my mother Mother as I never lived with her and we became friends later in life.

As I said, "It's all good, one way or another".
