[quote=Anonymous]It may sound harmless to some ppl, but the problem I see with this type of request is that a parent is actively managing other ppl's relationship with her child. The extended family either have a good relationship with the child or not. It's not going to be made or broken by letters (or lack thereof) to camp, contrary to some very alarming proclamation in this thread. If you think your child will be lonely, teach them the value of reaching out, ie, pack some pre addressed envelopes. What you don't do is tell other people, mostly only women, that they should add yet another task to their plate, and then shame them when they drop the rope. No, you don't get to decide how other people spend their time or manage their relationship with your child. You need to learn to drop the rope, or land the helicopter. [/quote]
