[quote=Anonymous]BTW, since you all aren't good at reading, I'll assume you're also not good at math. If I spend 10 minutes on a thank you note and write 70 of them, that is 170 minutes, which is roughly THREE HOURS. Maybe I could go lightning style and bang them out at five minutes each. So that's about an hour and a half a day. Every day. For 21 days. So maybe you say, aw shucks, we'll give the new mom extra time. Take 2 months (by that time, several people had complained - both my MIL and my own grandma reported their friends were upset). People are STICKLERS. It's not that you're bad for not writing thank you notes. Oh no, you're bad for much less than that! You're bad for not writing them *fast enough*. And it's not okay or a sufficient excuse for the sticklers that you're a new mom. Or a grieving, bereaved spouse. Or whatever other extenuating circumstances might make it hard to write thank yous within. Oh no. The sticklers will have you know your thank you note was not received! These people don't care if that hurts you or adds to your stress, or takes away the joy of being a new parent.  So, sticklers, can you really blame us for saying, "save yourself some time, and keep the gift. I don't want to be indebted to your stickler bullshit." [/quote]
