Mother-in-law strikes again...?

So yesterday was my 15th wedding anniversary. My M-I-L sent us an online Valentine's Day card addressed to my husband and his brother's wife. Today she sent one to my son but signed it that she hoped my husband would receive lots of kisses today. So on a scale of 1 to 10 how ticked off should I be? Should I say something or just address her Mother's Day with my husband's step-mother's name instead of hers?
And yes...she did forget our anniversary, again.

I was only joking about addressing her card with my husband's step-mother's name.

Not PMS-ing. Been putting up with this kind of nonsense for 15 years.

Wow. What a monster-in-law.

Just ignore her. Either that, or send her a thank-you note for the lovely card, and insert something about "Oh, by the way, my name's ______. You'd think that you'd remember that, since I've been married to your son for 15 years. Apparently, immaturity knows no age limit."

Aww! That's terrible, I am sorry for you! I would be a 10 for sure, why is she so nasty? Maybe you should kill her with kindness?? But I really like the idea of addressing her mothers day card with your husbands step-mom's name on it!! LOL!!! Honestly, it's hard to say, how does your husband feel about the way his mother is acting? Maybe tell her, you got my name wrong on the V-day card, could it have been an honest mistake? Maybe just come right out and ask what the problem is, has there always been tension with you two, or has this just recently started. I would probably say something, you are both adults - even though she is not acting like one. Be the bigger person than her. Good luck! :)

she´s one of those!!! Just laugh at her trust me your husband know she´s ust being a brat. Take it as a compliment what does she have to be nasty to u for. Sounds like she may think u r doing a better job at something she found he self not to be so good at.
she sounds like my sister in law she´ll ask me to make whatever even tell me where to get the recipe I do what is asked and what does she say to me oh I should have made it just doesn´t taste the same r u sure u used good ingredents.
I so bite my tongue. But never any left overs of what I bring and I always make dble of what ever.

Be the Bigger Person here Just Ignore it Just Cause she`s childish doesn`t mean you have to be

Tell your husband that you are upset and why and show it to him and if it needs to be dealt with let him deal with it or deal with it together

But i`d just leave it alone. Let him know though So he knows why you are upset

But yes i would be a bit hurt and ticked but i wouldn`t even give her the dignity of a response just deal with it with your husband

it somewhat is not well worth it. in case you have tried to make the peace along with her, and he or she's no longer having it, thats all you're able to do. Be civil to her, proceed to ask her (whether it somewhat is with the aid of your husband) on your domicile for kinfolk activities, and in simple terms be marvelous to her. If she ignores you, and wont seek advice from you around different kin, finally she will have the skill to start to look like the undesirable guy, and he or she will have the skill to with a bit of luck mend her behaviors. the two way, be the extra acceptable lady, and be civil and marvelous. and then, whilst she leaves your place, or your loved ones pastime is finished for the day, you will probable pick a while to vent and doubtless a pitcher of wine....or 3.
