Do you sign your college student's name to cards?

<p>When you are sending cards to family members - a birthday card to grandparents, or a Get Well card to an aunt or uncle, for example - do you include your college student’s name when you sign it? I’ve always signed cards from the family: DH, me, DS, and DD. But now DS is away at college. I signed his name on the Valentines cards for relatives, because he’s still part of the family, but it seems rather obvious that he had nothing to do with the card. Although I guess he never had much to do with the cards anyway…</p>

<p>What do you guys do?</p>

<p>If it’s from the whole family, I sign everyone’s names.</p>

<p>I just did it this afternoon when signing a Valentine’s Day card for my mom; signed for D who is at college and S who is almost 2 years out of college. I think I do it because it makes me feel better than to just sign for me all alone.</p>

<p>OOOOhhhh! I wish I could sign for all my kids, I lost my oldest about 4 years ago, and still almost sign his name all the time to cards! DO it and be glad you can! I guess I’ll stop when they’re living away from home for good, ie in their own apartments after graduation or married?</p>

<p>2 kids in college, and I sign everyone’s names. We’re still the family unit, until they are in their own apartments/jobs/marriages.</p>

<p>Yes, I do sign her name. I wouldn’t feel right not signing her name, I’ve been doing it for 17 years now.</p>
