[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so amazed at all the RUDE, bold, blunt comments on here to this poor woman.... total judgement down the list, for a stranger you don't even know, who was just asking for advice on what she could write for an announcement instead of an invitation!!!

First of all - If you want to send out a baby's 1st bday ANNOUNCEMENT out, then do so!  Forget about all of these other judgy folks on here that have nothing nice to say. It's YOUR baby who is turning one, your early motherhood experience and memory to celebrate!

And to make you feel better -- I, myself, was actually googling "One year baby announcements" myself, wanting to know the same exact idea as you!  So you are NOT alone. I hadn't even thought of doing it for the expectation of gifts. That never even crossed my mind!  I am just incredibly excited about my daughter turning one, and am getting professional photos done of her, and can't wait to share them with close family/friends. (And I'm NOT on facebook, so I'm not into the social media craze like most people are) I never thought I'd ever be able to have children, and at 41yrs old, I finally gave birth to my baby girl. Sooooo YES, I happen to be a mom that is just so over-joyed about sending out some sort of bday announcement, because these milestones are huge and special for me. I don't need people JUDGING me for it, just like you shouldn't be judging this poor woman!!! And in a similar case to what she said... my daughter's birthday is March, so waiting to send them in Christmas cards, as people mentioned, is a really long way off.

Anyway - I just saw this posting and was appalled at all of the hurtful, rude comments made to this woman.... and I felt the need to stand up for her!

Learn some manners people... if you don't agree, that's fine... but give your opinion in a TACTFUL KIND WAY, instead of throwing harsh judgements and assuming what her intentions must be, or that they're in any way from a selfish mindset...... other than simply a mother's love and excitement to share!

I’m sure the woman is over it by now...her kid will be 10 this year![/quote]
