I just wanted to say that I don't buy greeting cards. I haven't for probably more than 10 years now. They are a pointless waste of money. People rarely look at them and then they just go straight into the trash.
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.
Thanks for your thoughts. I hear you about not treating members differently, but in some families there are some obstacles and realities that don't permit that.
I have a blended family. I hate the word 'step' and so my hubby became their bonus dad. He's not their father but he is a loving caregiver and special person in their lives. He, and others, deserve a card that recognizes that unique relationship. I'm thinking of creating a line of greeting cards to do just that.
