so my MIL sends a card every year. Couple times it's been a day or so late and she'll apologize for that in the card. It's cool, not a big deal. They tend to be pretty big on recognizing events and we've gotten flack through the grapevine for when DH has forgotten to call on one of their birthdays. This year, no card ever arrived but I did get a text..................a full week later. That said they hoped I was having a great day....clearly implying that today was my birthday and not a week earlier. I was like, DH, my birthday hasn't moved in the 10 years they've known me.......what happened here?!?! He had no idea.
