[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband gave me a custom family name sign.  The problem is its grammatically incorrect.  Our last name ends in s and he didn't make it plural.  So the sign says (for example) "The Jones" instead of "The Joneses"  or "The Jones Family"  I don't honestly know what to do with it.  [/quote]

Oof, that's hard. 
If you otherwise like it, this might be one where you quietly buy a replacement and he won't notice. [/quote]

What kind of relationship do y’all have with your spouses that you can’t mention it’s grammatically incorrect, and to ask for a new one to be ordered?[/quote]

A kind, respectful one?

My partner is a little weird about gifts. I don't love it, but he is who he is. He'll ask half a dozen times if I really like something. If I don't use it right away, he'll become convinced that I hate it and beat himself up. He's not like this about other stuff, but he has very low self-gift-esteem. (I, on the other hand, am the master of gift giving.  :wink: )

He would not notice if I replaced his sign with a corrected one. And everyone's happy. Isn't that the point? [/quote]
