[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]

I agree but in my experience with my MIL and my own mom they are so far removed from having small kids and the young mother stage of life they are basically living on another planet ( at least mine are). I could see my MIL giving this to me and completely not ever thinking for a second it’s a horrible time consuming gift because her frame of refrence is she would have all the time in the world to quietly sit and fill it out.

Agree - I mean, even by my second newborn I couldn’t remember what the heck I spent so much time on tending to the first. Haha[/quote]
