Hmm....how can you forget?  Well, my dh works 70 hrs a week and is never home and, I suspect, having an affair.   I have 3 young and very busy kids, 2 of whom likely have adhd.  I have adhd.  I also have a child with a chronic medical condition and mounting debts, and I have a parent w/ Alzheimer's who lives nearby and whose care I am responsible for coordinating, nevermind wanting to spend as much time with as possible before they slip away completely.    Sorry I forgot the note.  but that how.   Thanks, btw, for adding to the stress in my life.  Congratulations.  [/quote]

If its really THAT overly stressful to take 10 secs to write out a quick "thank you" note and mail it, then don't have the party, event, whatever. I'm sure that's way more stressful. Welcome to life. Sorry, but you're not the only one who has SN kids, parents in ailing health, financial issues, etc. you're seriously trotting out all of this and expecting a pity party because you've been asked to write a thank you note for a gift? Now I've heard it all.

What happened to compassion? Everyone is busy, sure, but some people are more overwhelmed than others. We all fail at something. Failing to write thank you notes for a kids' party is a minor offense in my book. (And before you attack, yes, I make my children write them.)[/quote]
