[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sheesh, you could have scrawled a few lines and handed it to your husband to do the same and post in the amount of time it took you to write this.[/quote]

Time equivalents aren't the issue. [/quote]

NP. Why, then? [/quote]

Exactly, this doesn’t make sense.[/quote]

Really?  You determine what you do by how much time it will take you to do it?  I wouldn't do this because it strengthens the perception that I, a woman, am responsible for managing my DH's relationships with his family.  It would send the message that I accept that this is a woman's responsibility - that I could be guilted into doing something.  If I do this once, I'll be expected to do it again the next time this kid or other nieces/nephews go to camp.  If it was something that I wanted to do, that would be different.  OP doesn't want to do it and she shouldn't be judged for not doing it. [/quote]

What? Quickly dashing off a line then handing it over to DH to complete and mail is assuming all the emotional labor for his family? lmao.[/quote]

Bless your heart.  What makes you think OP's DH would complete the card and mail it?  If he can be counted on to do that, OP wouldn't have to do anything at all. [/quote]
