#147932 - 05/06/08 03:44 AM What to say in a step-mom's card
Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Each year I always struggle with what to say. We make our cards and looking for stepmom poems etc online does not cut it. She's not been warm/fuzzy. Just a nice lady and always welcomes us "home"....she and Dad have had some difficulties thru the years. Any advice ladies???

BonnieK Member Registered: 06/19/06 Posts: 45 Loc: Chicago suburbs	I am a step mom and have a step dad. It can be a struggle. I have found nice cards at many stores that are either funny or just generic and affectionate without being too decisive. Some years are better than others, so when you find them, buy them up. I have given and received cards like all of the above. I think its hard to give a card to anyone when the relationship is "iffy". When my ex husband and I were still married that was the worst. I best the card companies sell alot of "generic" spouse cards... _________________________ Bonnie K

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Your situation is the same as mine, except I must buy for a MIL that isn't warm and fuzzy but my hubby loves her. I don't like the sappy stuff but don't want to be too cold, either. Some things in life are just d-i-f-f-i-c-u-l-t!!! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Edelweiss Member Registered: 06/05/06 Posts: 4136 Loc: American living in Europe	How about just sending her a pretty bar of your soap, with a hand written note: "thinking of you."

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Great idea JJ, that sounds nice, friendly yet not sappy...Or send flowers Di, for the season, that makes a different gift every time, also candy or fruit baskets, does she collect anything, like salt & pepper shakers? My mom collects clown statues. There are a jillion ideas for a nice thank you... Edited by chatty lady (05/06/08 09:25 PM)

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Sent her a card...then sent her some custom soap. It's so hard at her age...79. She called and asked for the soap and wanted to pay for it....but I just sent it gratis. _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!
