I would send a gift. I would forgive. It is the best thing to do. I would treat it as I would anyone else, forgetting the rift. Life is to short. Just do what you can on your end to be kind. Its for the baby and is not the baby's fault her Mom acted that way. Just My HO.

I would send something, but wouldn't go all out. I normally assume that when I get an announcement like that, I should send a little something.

Denise - just noticed that you're eating at 50s Prime Time - my absolute favorite Disney place to eat!! When you get there, ask for Anas Loukili. Tell him its your first time eating there with the kids and you were told by the Linetzky's in New York that he's the man. He'd remember us if you took a picture with you! But he's the best and will make your meal there quite memorable. When I can, I'll post a picture of Matt with Anas on Paul's birthday.

Thanks, Marti!

I would send something small, but nice. I have a cousin that I have almost the exact same relationship (except the Godparent part) with at the moment. I just found out that she is expecting in July.

Glad the triplets are doing well!!

Glad Nick's feeling better!!

I suppose I would send a present too. I'm kind of in that same situation but with my sister. I send the kids birthday & Christmas presents. It isn't the kids' fault their parents are morons.

 

[Tammi67]

Thanks for all the responses. I will take your advice and send a gift. I feel good about it.

Amy - sending you a long overdue PM

 

[disney newbie]

Just want to help us get to 12345 while Beth is still on board. Glad the triplets had such a great experience with their surgery and are doing fine.

 

[mommykds]

thanks. How are you feeling today?

Good, thanks for asking...hard to talk & alittle hard to catch a breath but on the mend.
But as you know "Mommy" can't be sick..too much to do! I had to take the 3 kids to school this am (DH had to go in to work early) & while I had 2 hours to myself (little one is still only in nursery school) I went to (bed? no!) AC Moore..they had a good sale on transfer paper & some other items I needed. I am making shirts & pillowcases for all my neices & nephews for Christmas.

Hopefully I can get the kids to bed before 7pm & then I can lie down.
