Today, I got a birthday card from my parents. It was my sister's from earlier in the year. They scratched out her name and wrote mine underneath. FML

Well, you could always use a funeral condolences card, but instead of the deceased person, scribble it out and put your parents' names.

Oh wow. It's one thing to recycle a gift, but to recycle a card? The very definition of thoughtlessness.

Well, I have absolutely no intelligence or pertinent life experiences whatsoever, but it seems to me that blatantly recycling a card is either a statement about their cheapness or where they hold you in their esteem or perhaps both. Or, they are hoping you are so stupid you will not notice that they scratched out your sister's name and wrote yours or at least will not mention it, which gets them off the hook for "doing your birthday" without them actually having done a darned thing. I know that is what I would think if I had ever been in circumstances similar to the OP's.

That being a problem is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. You should give them the card back and keep it going. It can be like a family gimmick

My friend gave me a "card" once...it said somethings on the front but u just flipped it over, it didnt open and she wrote on the back. 2 years later I got the same card that opened up...my friend takes everyone's cards and cuts off the front of it! idk why my mom still makes us waste money on her, but I always write on both sides :(
