[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - this might not be your cup of tea, but surely you can understand why someone might think this is a neat idea for a parent.

What is your true gripe with your MIL?  Your subject line is too dramatic for there not to be something else going on.[/quote]

-1. I can’t think of a worse present from a MIL to a DIL with a newborn than a weekly chore that also asks for personal thoughts and information, which will be delivered to MIL’s inbox. I honestly can’t think of a more terrible gift.[/quote]

NP. +1. This may not be OP's cup of tea, but it was a thoughtful gift and a lot better than the ugly clothing MIL got me. MIL probably thought she was helping DIL take a few minutes to reflect on herself, only it didn't occur to her that DIL doesn't have those few minutes. Agree with the "stop being a brat" poster.

:roll: How far removed are you from the newborn years? My scant “free time” during those days was not spent “reflecting on myself,” especially reflecting in the form of thoughts and innermost feelings that would literally be emailed to my MIL.[/quote]
