it was my daughter’s birthday yesterday and i wrote her the following in her birthday card
“to my rainbow, happy 4th birthday. i love you to the moon, stars, sun, rain and back again. you make me so happy. happy birthday, love mummy”
my partner was FURIOUS that i didn’t write it from the both of us.
a little more context - i showed him the card earlier and said 'look how cute the card is i got for insert daughters name he said “oh it’s a little train - how cute” not anything like “sign it from me as well” or “put my name in there when you sign it”.
i just wanted a card from me to her? he knew there was a card, didn’t ask it to be from both of us, and didn’t get a card himself for her?
AITA?
edit: her father and i are also on rocky ground and separating. it not otherwise happy and secure and a standard nuclear parenting relationship. just also thought that may be important info.
edit 2: there’s also been no history of birthday cards specifically from us either way of signing both or not signing. iirc this is genuinely the first birthday card either of us have done - idk if that makes it more or less asshole though but at least it’s not been an expectation
