this is a prime example of the world we live in. i am so thankful that i have instilled this in my kids. even the baby can have the sense enough to thank someone for things they do and even in the correct context. there is no reason for such disregard for someone who does something for you. I feel you should let us all know who this is so that we don't fall for the same line. that is really a misuse and who knows that she really did NEED the things you gave her. please don't let this discourage you. you did a good thing and it will come back to you. HEY HOW ABOUT A RAOK FOR YOU!!! send me your addy and it is on its way. email here

O.k. re-doing this. I just read all of the posts. I hope that these two can repair what hurt feeling there are.

Don't think so. She hasn't written or sent a card like she promised since she returned nor has she written to me, either.

All I really wanted was a thank you and I couldn't get that much. I also sent her newborn some clothes (brand new). I think the least that could of been done is to tell me if they fit.

Granted, I was late in getting the package out. I still took the time, effort, boxed and went to the post office to make sure it got to them before she left for their trip.

I'm always willing to help but, if you don't really need/want/appriciate it then don't ask.

At least they could of let me known when they were back home. They didn't even do that much.

I hope you two can work it out. She did post in this thread and said thank you.

Good luck!!

I'm a firm beliver in doing nice things for nice things sake. Period. When I donate things, I don't get receipts - I'm not doing it for the tax write-off. When I give things to people, I don't need to see my name in a church bulletin, or recieve a thank you card, or sometimes, quite frankly, even have the person know who gave/sent him/her the gift or needed item. I like doing things for people. I like picking out something I think someone will like or be able to use, and I like knowing that I can ease a worry or bring a smile to someone's face. The thank you isn't why I do it. It's not even "an added bonus" or "something nice." If I do something and expect something in return, then that to me seems like a duty or a chore. If someone says thank you, well now, that's just fine, but I don't expect it or need it.

And BTW Jessica, I have a Nicholas too

Personally I believe this isn't anyones business but those of the parties involved. Posting these types of issues only causes embarassment, hurt feelings, and dismay. Just my 2 cents...

On another note this is why I choose not to "help" people online. If I give charity it is to those whom benefit in local communitty. Or if my online friends, the ones I've known for years, need the help than they get it.

O.k. I don't want to get flamed for this.....but is'nt coming forth and admitting this mistake humiliating enough??? I mean coming forth to admit it was you takes COURAGE. So, to sit there and say No outright is just plain ole' holding a grudge. Then what good was the intent of the package in the first place???

To give is to GIVE not to recieve in any way shape or form. Like I said I don't wanna get flamed for this.

((((hugs))))

Edited to add: At least the baby is that much more better off because you chose to give!!!! Please try to think of him, and not so much of the thank you involved.

I wouldn't worry about that - Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, if others don't like it than pshhhhhhhhhhh to them.

That's how I feel anyhow, and thats MY opinion. LOL
