[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are keeping score about thank you cards, you've missed the point about gratitude.

Op here. It was more of a realization I had recently. The stress and anxiety I had over my thank yous for baby gifts was hard. I wanted to just run when people brought me a gift because I'd rather have no gift than write a thank you. I'm not anxious like that anymore but I have a stack to write for Christmas awaiting me.

Just stop, if it is causing you stress. If you have thanked the giver in person, over the phone, or over e-mail, that's enough. It is 2017, and we don't need Crane to help us thank someone anymore. Of course you had to write a note in the 1800s when gifts arrived via the Wells Fargo wagon, and mail was your only way of acknowledgment. But now, you and your baby can hop on Face Time and thank Grandma, and what could be better than that?

If you ENJOY writing notes, and it is a true exercise in gratitude, go for it. But if it stresses you out and causes you to resent gifts or (even worse) bean-count who does and who does not write notes anymore, then seriously...you need to stop.[/quote]
