Do you get Mother's Day cards from your mom or MIL?

Why is that annoying? She's trying to be nice!

There's nothing wrong with finding cutesy wording between adults annoying.

My mom gave me flowers on Sunday, from her garden. It was a nice gesture, but I wouldn't expect anything from either of them. My MIL sent a text on Friday. I wouldn't expect anything from either of them really.

MIL does. I think she does it specifically because she knows it wouldn't even occur to my step mother (my mom passed when I was a teenager), and she knows Mother's Day is a bit bitter-sweet for me.

My MIL & my Mom would have liked each other alot.

This year was my first Mothers' Day and I got one card from my mom and one from my MIL. We will see if they keep it up for all the rest of my MD's, or if this was a one-time "Happy FIRST MD" type-thing.

From my MIL, who also gives me a present every year. She's such a sweetheart and I feel so lucky to have her.

I wish, but it's not like that.

My Mom calls, sends a little something in the mail. She lives in Europe.

My MIL usually sends me flowers that (through no fault of her own) are wilted. 2nd year in a row that I've gotten wilted flowers. ProFlowers.
