[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP with PPD from writing notes...why didn't you write them before having your baby? My shower was weeks in advance of birth and I had plenty of time to write all the notes before being sleep deprived.

Anyway, I hate it when people don't write thank you notes/emails/calls for weddings and baby showers. In fact, if I don't get a thank you note, email, or call I won't give another gift. Frankly it makes it seem like the person doesn't care. I took the time to shop, spend money, and sometimes go to the post office to send it to you. There is no excuse for not taking 5 minutes to write a thank you.[/quote]

Because they were not shower gifts. I did not have a shower because we had everything we needed for the baby from hand me downs. We did not want gifts. I did write them, just not in a timely fashion. It takes 5 minutes to write ONE thank you note. I got over 300 gifts for my baby. Appreciated, but not necessary, and writing the thank you's was a chore. My husband felt that sending a card with "thank you" printed on it and signing our names was an appropriate thank you. I felt the more personal touch was appropriate. But it took forever, and like I said, people complained because they didn't get a thank you card within a few weeks, although they all did get thank you cards, some were as late as 2 months after I'd gotten the gift. These were family members, btw. Mostly older than 50. Nobody under 50 said a word. [/quote]
