Grandfather Sent me a Christmas Card

[MrsMB]

Signed by him and "New Grandmother." That's ok, I'll call you Betty. Thanks.

Not looking for sympathy...just showing off my dysfunctional side of the family:)

We got my dad and step-mom's card/newsletter in the mail yesterday.

The majority of the newsletter is about her kids/grandkids. In the portion about us, though, H's profession and employer is wrong and my brother's girlfriend's name is spelled wrong. All of this information is readily available on Facebook! lol.

I would find it hard to call her Grandma too, that is awkward.

I got my Christmas present from my sister today, and it included some cute wool socks. But they are 15% rabbit hair, and I'm allergic to rabbits. I'll give them to my mom.

Yeah that's weird. It would be different if she had been around for a while and you were close to her but in this situation, no!

[MrsMB]

What weirded me out is "new" grandmother. It's like if people got divorced and a step mom said she were your "new mom"......so weird.

MrsMB - I would be weirded out by that, too. Do you normally call her by her first name? It almost seems like a passive aggressive hint. A holiday card is probably not the best way to try to bring up name preferences.

That's so weird. And not okay.

Ive never met her we found out they got married from a friend of my Mom's. So, NO one has met her yet. ..

Sent from so-called "smart" phone. Please forgive any errors!

[travelbug]

Yeah, that's super strange!

[awick14]

You've never even met her?!?!

Super awkward!
