[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent a similar request to my in-laws and none of them did it. Thankfully I had DD covered, but boy did they feel like shit when they got the letters from DD to them.[/quote]

Why? I wouldn’t feel bad. She has a lot more free time than I do! And she’s not my kid.[/quote]
She actually didn't have a ton of free time at an active outdoor summer camp and at 8 years old she sent letters because we highly encouraged them and are raising her not to be a garbage human.

But you do you.[/quote]

Are you serious pp? Np. No one is a garbage human because they don’t write their nieces and nephews at sleep away camp!! I’m really shocked that anyone would expect this. If you think it’s nice for your daughter to write letters to others that’s great! But I certainly never expected aunts and uncles to write when I was at camp?! My parents wrote me, sent care packages, that was more than enough. I think maybe my grandmothers sent things but that is totally different than aunts and uncles.

you’re totally write that writing a letter doesn’t theoretically take a lot of time, but it’s out of peoples norm and just not something that is typically expected of aunrs and uncles so seems like a weird thing to not give them a pass on. Next time, send the email to the grandparents and keep it at that. [/quote]
Garbage humans are affronted by the mere thought of writing a nice note to their niece. It may be out of the norm, but that's why the request was made! Kids love mail, but especially at camp. Most camps even have an email-to-mail system like Bunk1 or eCamp to make it even easier. It's not a requirement, but my word, it's not too much to ask of a "loved one".[/quote]
