[quote=Anonymous]op here:

i appreciate the helpful responses, but i already do reach out - i text her/facebook her occasionally to see how she's doing - she was recently sick and i sent her a quick message asking how things were.  I also have had the kids call and say thanks and draw pictures for her. And i send her cute photos of them via text. And I sent her their school pictures to put up.

It's the constant badgering that gets to me - last year, she gave a gift that arrives monthly. I got forwarded emails of the tracking number, then a forward of the progress, then a text that she had sent both of the above, then a text asking if it had arrived ,then a text if it had been opened - and we didn't open them immediately - if it was a busy day, we waited until the next day, but it was just totally overwhelming. i actually asked her not to give a monthly type gift this year - only b/c the constant updating was SO stressful.

She's like this with EVERYTHING - for instance, when we were all flying to DH's family for Xmas:  text #1: "are you guys flying on thursday for Xmas?" text 2 "ok, but what time? i want to know the exact time" text 3 "did you guys not get my message. i need the exact time b/c i want to coordinate with you guys." text 4 "i guess no one is going to reply to me, so whatever, i just booked my ticket on my own." we are flying from different cities - there is no coordination. we can't all fit in one cab or car, and we can all afford the cab/car, so no need to coordinate to the exact minute.

Anyways, that's why i'm venting here and not to her or to DH.[/quote]
