Do you send them to X or X-ILs? I'm not even slightly interested in doing so, personally, but it's photo card of the kids and I thought they might like to show off the photp. On the other hand, he could do his own photo card (he won't, his mother likely will do one and add a photo of the kdis to it).

I'm of two minds- it's either unnecessary and possibly slightly odd/inappropriate. Or, it's a nice thing to do. X & I are not friendly, but don't actively fight or anything.

Thoughts?

I don't have an ex. But if you are on fairly good terms ask him what he thinks. What are his family traditions?

My dad's side of the family does a newsletter with picture optional. My parents were divorced but I always liked being included and getting it even though I did not get to see them often growing up. They all say they are glad to get mine too. So I keep up the tradition. That was really much of the contact I had with them thru the years, sadly.

If I were divorced I would still send cards to my ILs but probably just from the kids.

Good question

I'm doing a photo card this year and I think I'll ask ex if he thinks I should dend one to his parents... I hope he says OK since I kinda like his parents and I want to show off my baby

I just do a card with pic of dd. I give the cards to my ex so he can send them to his family if he chooses. i take care of sending it to my family and friends...

I did for the first couple of years but then my ex said he had it covered, so I stopped.

I don't send Christmas cards to anyone.

But to answer your question specifically, if it's a picture card and you're having a bunch printed up anyway, and you have no animosity toward your in-laws, I don't see why not. I wouldn't send one to your ex though.

I ll definitely send one to the in laws. I see them almost every other day or so and we are still friends. as for xh I will let the girls send him one of they want to but it will bne up to them and from them. it won't be a picture card because he would just be critical of the pictures I chose (bad lighting, angle, shadows whatever. it was never a good enough picture.) who needs that?

me? i send nothing to anyone, but my situation is such that i don't hear from anyone either. so i don't waste money on people that i do not care about.

Yeah that

I still send things occasionally, but X has it covered mostly.

I plan to send one to my ex and his parents, but not his whole family or anything. But my ex and I get along pretty well... I'm actually designing his cards for him to send out too.

If I were in your shoes, inlaws-yes, ex-no. Photos of their grandchildren should be appreciated even if it is a card from you.
