Mothers day, she gets a card for me to do for my mother as she was in town, I sign it, close the envelope, job done. She then acts a bit weird because I didn't let her sign it as well.

Never ever crossed my mind that she should sign it, I wouldn't sign hers to her mother or father.

Just mine who is weird on this (yes I know they are all weird generally) or is this a widespread female thing?
 
How long have you 2 been together?
If she's under the impression that you two are now an item and is basically on the verge of marriage, in her mind, both names should be on the cards to either parents.

If you've been dating for a couple of months, then that's just weird.
 
What Mr Jones said

I had an ex who thought it was weird that I didn't want to sign a Mother's Day card to his mum when we had only been dating a year :/
 
I just make sure the wife does all the card lark/gifts, apart when buying for her ofc

:D I got owned the other day call the wife a gf ... only been married 10 months still not used to it.

Well in the words of my girlfriend (lived together for around 12 months and been together about 2.5 years)

"Mothers day, you sign your card, I sign mine, birthdays and christmas, you buy the card and present for your lot and we both sign and I do the opposite for mine"

Seems perfectly sensible and reasonable to me!
 
Why for the love of all that is holy would I sign a Mothers' Day card to someone else's mother? My Mum's lucky if she gets one from me, let alone me sign one to the gf's :p
 
We've been together coming up for 5 years.

I agree with all in signing of birthday and Christmas cards, just think its odd on the Mothers / Fathers day ones ?
 
I think it's sweet she wants to sign it so it wouldn't bother me & it would depend what her Mum was like to me on whether I signed her card. If she is all Mumsy & Welcomes me in then Yes but if she is an old bag to me my woman or my kids then **** her.
 
Signed the card I sent to my mother from both me and the Mrs, seeing as she started doing it with birthday cards and Christmas cards and gifts etc.

Been trogether for almost a year now.
 
My secretarywife, does allthat now so I don't have to think about anything. It's great.

But yeah, unless you're a proper item its weird.
 
Married for 19 years and never signed a Mothering Sunday card for my mother-in-law and wife has never signed one for mine - neither has this ever been mooted.

Clearly your GF wants to get pally with your mum to show her what a wonderful person she is and how she would make you an excellent wife. Unless this is your intention, this type of contact is to be avoided at all costs or else your doom is fixed.

Me and the Mrs, not me and my mother, and I don't live in Cornwall any more, now live in Weston-super-Mare lol
 
I sometimes call my OH's mother, mum
Only really when greeting though. I'll say Hiya Mum. Other than that she gets called by her first name.

Mother in law---Mother. Depends on how close you all are as a family
