The “Partner’ thing definitely sounds like a dig, but the misspelled name may just be that she’s a lousy speller. My elderly aunt loves my oldest daughter, but every birthday or holiday card she sends, she misspells her name, even though she sees it signed on every Christmas card or note we send. It’s not intentional; she didn’t make it through high school, so I give her a pass on her bad spelling.

My future mother-in-law knows where to find the son-and-girlfriend (and even son-and-fiancee) cards. We get them for every holiday imaginable. I fully expect to find one for Presidents’ Day in the mailbox tomorrow… And she always remembers to spell my name correctly. This may be the nicest thing I have ever said about my FMIL.

Excuse me, TheElf, but who the f*ck put you in charge of what other people “SHOULD” do? Go screw yourself. I really hate people like you who go around policing other people’s actions. It has not got one motherf*cking thing to do with your life, so shut the hell up.

Not sure I see the problem. I’ve never seen a “son and girlfriend” card, so what’s she supposed to do?

(Also, maybe she’d spell your name right if the spelling weren’t f*cking retarded, Tonya.)

“long ex-wife drama story that doesn’t need telling here”

Oh, but it does! I’m bored and need amusement. (grabs popcorn)

Wasn’t invited to their wedding…long ex-wife drama story that doesn’t need telling here. Suffice it to say she told him that if I was invited, she would not attend. I can’t fault the man for loving his Mom. I’m 2500 miles away anyway, that’s no big deal.
Not going to do a public records search (might find out something I don’t need to know) or check Facebook every time I want to fire off a text message or quick email when I can just use one of the terms I’ve mentioned above and be done with it…I mean really, committing the spelling of someone’s name to memory is not high on my to-do list and really not very important to me.
Just thought the way I avoid having to know such a thing as this might be chucklatious (maybe not to someone like you who seems to think all of the comments and subjects here are serious), didn’t say it was supposed to be reasonable. People use those phases all the time, probably half of the time because they don’t even remember the name, let alone the spelling!

I do save wedding invitations, thank you cards, birthday cards, funeral programs and the like, though I don’t know how to make myself seem to you like I’m the type of person that does those things…and don’t feel a need to do so.

You’re kind a bitchy type, but I wouldn’t say I know enough about you to say you’re so bitchy that you cannot also be sentimental.
Judgemental I can now confidently say you are. Thanks for that. Keep contributing and I’ll let you know if I think you’re a bitch or just a nut off her meds.

As originally written, yes… that’s one interpretation. The other is that the card is written to both Mom’s son, and to the lovely lesbian who made an honest woman out of her.

Agreed. Granted, one would learn the correct misspelling of a common name after time, but one can’t be expected to recall every Micheal, Kevan or Kerin they come across – particularly when your misspelling makes your name just as close to Tony or Tonka as to Tanya.

Look up the old wedding invitation and it should be spelled right on that. Of course you don’t seem like the type to hang onto a wedding invitation even one from your own son’s wedding. You can also check their public records to get the correct spelling. Then you know commit it to memory. There is really no reason not to know how to spell your DIL’s name.
