So last Saturday was my birthday and all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. My daughter in law sent me flowers for my birthday. WITHOUT my sons name on them! I called her and asked if it was an error and she said "no, I just wanted to send you flowers for your birthday"... Oh my gosh will that girl ever learn? I told my mother and she couldnt believe it, and she told my son and he had no idea the flowers were sent. How can I teach my daughter in law some common manners?
I feel like she was trying to show off and make me realize he didnt give me anything! Trying to get back at me for not calling him on his birthday! As husband and wife, she should have put both names on to be polite. Thats what wives do!
 
The daughter-in-law is tricky because there isn't a whole lot you can do. I think calling her to ask was the best thing you could have done, it was a good way to question her actions without sounding judgemental or pushy. Hopefully your son will talk to her about it. Otherwise, I don't know if there's much else you can do.
 
Please tell me WHAT IS WRONG with your DIL sending you flowers.I think it is a lovely thought.Maybe she wanted you to know just how special you are to her.So what if your son didn't know that his wife sent his mother flowers from just the DIL? Please tell me what the big deal is here?????


After reading your edit I think it is your son that you should be upset with not his wife.It is not the wife's place to buy the gift from both of them.This son of yours should have bought the gift or flowers or whatever.Maybe she was trying to left you know what a louse you have as a son.But I guess the fruit doesn't fall from the tree if you didn't even call him on his B-day.
