[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How nice that you RECEIVED 350 newborn gifts. I'm shocked that someone as ungrateful and entitled as you are received ANY much less that many.  [/quote]

Wow, okay then. I received fewer than 50 gifts when I had my first baby and wrote all those notes within two weeks of the shower, before the baby was born.[/quote]

you know, this is one of life's little mysteries.  how is it that THIS PP, who seems very nice, received a lot fewer presents than the anti-TYN poster, who seems to be the least racious person ever?  i feel like this stuff happens so often -- the nastiest people seem to fare well in the attention/gifts/luck category.  Ugh.

for the record, i don't mind writing thank you notes.  i think we owe people a lot more gratitude than most of us show.

Many of us don't buy the premise of your argument which is "thank you note = manners/gratitude" I DO write thank you notes but not becuase they are an expression of my gratitude or appreciation.  I do them because it was inculcated in me as a child that it was something you had to do.  I'm working on letting go of that because thank you notes are frequently a waste of time/paper.

For those people insisting on thank you notes, I'd say we owe them a lot less gratitude than they've been shown.  [/quote]
