[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this really a thing? My husband and I both come from large families and none of their aunts or uncles has ever written to them at camp. My aunts and uncles never wrote me at camp. I don't think this is an expectation in most families.[/quote] Let me break this down for you. Just because it didn't or doesn't happen in YOUR families doesn't mean it isn't an "expectation in most families." And even if it ISN'T an "expectation in most families," that doesn't matter either. What matters is that in THIS family a family member has asked for this. Are you saying that if someone in your or your husband's families asked you to write a letter to a 7 year old niece at camp, you'd refuse to do it on principle because it isn't "an expectation in most families?" [/quote] Yes, I am saying I would not do it. I don't have the bandwidth for this and don't expect other people in my family to do it.[/quote]
