[quote=Anonymous]PP here with the thank you note PPD. One thing I'd say is, it's important to say thank you. But you know what? Those people who think it's shocking to get thanked by email or by phone call or in person instead of a formal, written note, can go suck an egg. The process is more important to them than the sentiment. I actually generally enjoy writing a nice thank you note, and when I get a thoughtful one, it's nice and I enjoy it. But this idea that it HAS to be done, makes it into a huge chore for people. Especially new parents. I felt really beholden to old fashioned values when I got all of those gifts. I really wouldn't want a thank you note from someone who was feeling chained and burdened and overwhelmed by the daunting task of writing hundreds of them. And to a new parent, it probably does not even take "hundreds" to make you crazy. I think anyone who judges a new parent harshly for not writing timely thank you notes is probably not the kind of person I care about pleasing, anyway. [/quote]
