Am I being too sensitive or do I have a case?

When we have a family occassion, like my mom's birthday, mother's day, stuff like that, we buy flowers and a card and address it from all of us (me and my sibilings). We used to pay for it all together, and in the recent years, me and my sister pay for it only because we feel silly going around asking for a few bucks.





Anywya, now that I'm married and my brother is married, the tradition is still the same but my sister takes care of the whole thing and then I offer to pay half the money. The thing is that my brother's wife's name gets put on the card, but my husband's name doesn't get put on the card. So I end up having to buy something seperate too to put his name on it.





This has nothing to do with money, or buying an additional thing. I want to be part of the family tradition and celebrate those special moments with my sibilings. But I feel sensitive about my hubby being left out.





What do you think?

Not to belittle your card and flowers, but, we are talking about grown ups, not children, I am sure your Mother appreciates each and every card and flower, but can we be individuals here. Obviously she raised you to care, siblings grow up, and do grown up things, um the card and flowers, again, give the flowers while still alive, but all involved signing their name to just one card and one bouquet of flowers. Now that everyone has their own family, let each family do something for Mom, not collectively unless it is for an all expense paid cruise, but again, don't slight your Mother, she doesn't deserve that. Let the tradition go and each give from each's heart. God Bless.
Reply:Talk to your sister about it. or just by something for her from you and him and don't pay for the other stuff.
