While I don't send very many greeting cards. I disagree with them going straight into the trash. Regarding blended families - I don't treat "blended" family members any differently than I treat my biological family. Therefore, I wouldn't necessarily need a birthday card for my "step sister", "half brother", or even my "step parents". Not that I have all of the above. However, if I'm not comfortable with a Mother's Day card that professes undying love and gratitude "Mom", I purchase a generic Mother's Day card, and if it doesn't convey everything I want it to say, I fill in the blanks.
