    My step Mother-in-law whom we're very close to (My wife doesn't have a relationship with her own Mother) doesn't spell my daughters name correctly. It's a traditional name with only one way to spell it as far as I know. It's been going on for a few years, b-day cards, Christmas cards, etc. We send them cards with my daughters name on them and she hasn't caught on yet. We have to tell her soon before our daughter realizes it too. How do we break it to her without making her feel bad/uncomfortable? I need some ideas. Thanks

    have your daughter right her a thank you note with her name spelled correctly in BIG Capital letters and maybe she will realize her mistake.

    or not.

    I would just change your daughter's name to the way this woman spells it. See how easy that was?

    "Oh hey I noticed you accidentally mispelled "X's" name on the last card [ignore the other times, act like you just noticed this new thing], it's spelled "blahblah". Just wanted to let you know." and see if it takes

    ps. Carl can be spelled two ways, so cut her some slack...

    Write <3 (wifes name) on your dick and send her the picture on your xmas card. The image will be burned into her eyes forever.

    We've sent her numerous cards with her name on it over the last few years to no avail. Eventually my daughter is going to figure it out and probably embarrass her. IDK, maybe that's the best way. We're contemplating telling her Dad so that it doesn't come directly from us.

    My mom's brother who is also my godfather has spelled my name wrong for the past 15 years. I've corrected him many times but he doesn't seem to care to relearn the right way. On a side note I left the g off he word wrong while typing this and my phone auto corrected it to" wein".

    No idea why you're not taking this guys advice. Clearly the best way to go about it. Just correct her and laugh about it.
