I try not to complain on my blog. (I try not to complain in "real life", either. But.... That doesn't always work. LOL) Last Spring I sent out Graduation Announcements to family and friends. I wasn't able to send to everyone. But I also posted the actual Graduation Announcment on facebook, "For anyone who I wasn't able to send announcements to". We (I should say, "my son") didn't get much response. But, he did get some. He didn't get anything from anyone on my husband's side of the family. Not even an acknowledgement on facebook from anyone in his family... Now, this Spring, my sister in law had her third baby. And she sends me a message on facebook asking for my address to send an announcement?.... This is the same sister in law, who; when I sent her last baby a sweater and hat I crocheted for her (we were totally broke then), said "We don't have much use for sweaters in Texas." :0 So... is it just me; or would anyone else be annoyed by this?.... What would you do?.... |

Probably go out to GOODWILL and find the heaviest baby sweater I could find and send it to her.
It only took my sister-in-law 40 years to warm up to me. . .so you have a long wait. LOLOL
Honestly, I would still make the baby something I wanted to make. I know my niece has told me how much she likes everything I made for them . . even though I never saw them in anything I made . . but, they must have known it . . she is in her early 30's . . so it took me 30 years to find out they did use what I made them . . LOLOL
Funny now, but I was very hurt all the time they were growing up . . never knew if what I made was appreciated At least you got a "hot in Texas" comment.
How about making something in thread. . .#3 fashion . . they are lighter and cooler to wear.
Sorry to hear that...we really can't please everyone, even if we tried. Its probably more of a communication problem, or a jealousy issue. Can't say the same for you...but I go through an awkward situation with my brother's partner and its hard to explain but I swear she thinks I'm the bitch, even though I haven't started to do or say anything. She's the one I gave the crocheted maroon bolero that I loved, and I regret giving it since her sttitude didn't change at all, she's definitely a bitch!
That probably didn't help any, sorry. I think can complain all you want, as long as you keep your cool... its your blog ;)
Lol, Paula! I should! I swear it's like she thinks the world and everyone she knows is supposed to revolve around her?...
Mimi, your comment did help, at least I know other people are going through similar situations. I don't think it would matter what I gave her, they have so much money they go to Germany and Italy once a year (sometimes more). What could I give her that she would even appreciate? Nothing.. And obviously anything I give her, she will say someting negative about. I don't even see what the purpose is of sending us an announcement.. Ugh...
Mimi, I thought that maroon bolero was gorgeous, btw!! :)<3 And it was really nice of you to give her, even though she didn't appreciate it. :(
