Thanks from "the baby"

[sobi]

So we got a thank you card from my 1 year old nephew, and "he" wrote how much he loved his stupid little sweater and how he wears it at least once a week. Now I love my brother and sister in law. They are great people.... but yech. Seeing this just made me cringe. He's one. He didn't write it. It's not cute, and I can't understand how people would think it is. Any of you guys suffer from these retarded cards/letters from your relatives children who are still months away from speaking in sentences let alone writing them?

[d0uche_n0zzle]

They're acknowledging gift. Be thankfully for that.

Yeah. At least they had the decency to thank you. I've given plenty of gifts
that got no acknowledgment at all. Ungrateful fuck heads.

It's a bit gay but it's the thought that counts.

[Cunt Smasher]

Gotta go with the Buster on this one.^^^^^^^

[Biff Hardslab]

What the fuck is wrong with you? You are bitching because you got a thank you card?

If you are that much of a hardcore ass, just tell your brother the exact same thing you posted here. Better yet, show him the post. That'll show him you mean business.

Fuck.....:icon_roll

[sobi]

you're right... because I bitching about them thanking me.

It's not that I don't appreciate the acknowledgment, though I'd be completely indifferent either way. I'm just curious if other people find this practice as tacky as I do. It's just not "cute", and I don't get it. I guess I came off a little strong in my initial post, but still...

That indifference wears off as the years go by and the gifts get bigger and the little snotters think they're entitled to everything they get. Then one day after you fly your 18 y/o nephew to NY for his birthday and he doesn't say thank you at any point before his visit, or upon his arrival and you go to dinner and he double dunks his mozzarella stick and you snap and rip him a new asshole while lecturing him about common courtesy...sorry, I went off on a tangent.

It's not so tacky, just an attempt at being cute that didn't go over with you. Pretty soon, he'll be able to draw you a picture or something or they'll give him the fill in the blank stuff.

How do you know the baby didn't write it? Maybe he's a Superbaby.

One question: have you seen him wearing sunglasses? That seems to be their "tell."

Yeah, it's tacky but new parents are blubbering idiots over their new creation.
Believe me, that'll wear off soon enough.

Are you suggesting we raise a generation of super kids? Libbidy lublub!

[FAZ8218]

Your brother had kids... you should expect him to do other stupid things after that.

well done, my friend.

Thank you, thank you. Every once in a while I hit one off the sweet spot and drive it over the fence.

[enduser]

Shortly after I started at this job my boss and his wife had a kid.
My wife decided to purchase a gift for the bosses new child.
I never got a thank you or anything.
fasf forward like 7 months to like 5 months ago, My wife and I had a baby and we didn't even get a card let alone a gift of any kind.

Am I just an unlikeable son of a bitch???

I hope they send you a diaper full of shit next time.:rolleyes:

atleast you'll know he made it.


Or you could save it till hes like 20 and tell him he was a baby genius.

[LiddyRules]

Now that I think about it, I don't think my dog signed her name to my birthday card either. That paw print was far too small as well.

[abudabit]

If I had my first baby, I would be total douche for at least 2 years.

[Rumrunner]

Thank you, thank you. Every once in a while I hit one off the sweet spot and drive it over the fence.

that was great teamwork guys, I loffed... love the movie poster too, I'm mom of 2, and thought it was cute that the superbaby wrote to a wackbagger,

next b-day, send him an O&A baby tshirt and a wow sticker for his stroller. maybe baby will send you a photo.. maybe i should start needlepointing and knitting, could have a bunch of cool sweaters for babies. ahhhh i have ADD, keep thinking of silly ideas..

[Jambi]

He's not being ungrateful, he's saying that the thank you should be from the parents... not made to look like a one year old wrote it. Until a kid is old enough to say thank you himself it is the responsibility of the parents to say thank you.

"he" wrote how much he loved his stupid little sweater

On a side note, the kid's only a year old and already realizes that sweaters are stupid.

I suppose it's my bad for thinking the majority of people on wackbag, would hold the same ability to comprehend my gripe as you have.

Actually, I'm with you on this one....when they are like 3 or whatever and can scribble their name, that's one thing. The "from the one year old" is a bit overkill and also, to me, just is cheezy.

However, at least the parents have manners, so there's a shot that the kid will have them as well. It astounds me how few people actually do some of those Miss Manners' basics (thank you card, or at least email, bring a bottle of wine to dinner, etc) anymore.

I dont think we did it at 1 and 2, but definitely at 3 the cards came from her, even though I wrote them. The words were (mostly) hers though - in the beginning, for the first two or so, until she was bored, but still, she DID tell me what to write. A lot of it was along the lines of "thank you for the (insert item here). I love it so much in the world."

[Ziti Lo Mein]

I agree on both parts. I do think its a little jerkish to be bitching when someone actually gave a thank you card to you for the gift, but I also think its kind of stupid to make it look like their kid did it himself. The parents just as easily could've gotten a thank you card and written a nice grown up version rather than go with the cutesy approach. Did they write it in little kids writing, with the backwards E's and everything? Ewww

[weeniewawa]

he is an idiot-savant. and he takes after you, at least the idiot part;)

[Sevenyars]

my daughter is 10 and i still write the cards for her. I even mispel some words and put some letters backwards.


On another note. Why are the olympic volly ballers so hot , but the swimmers are punched in the mouth? They would learn their skill set on the same beach wouldn't they?

[Jambi]

he didn't say he was any smarter than her, he just writes her stuff, kinda like a secretary:icon_mrgr

[kimothee]

I was writing my own by around age 7. Why don't you have yours writing her own yet?

I used to hate doing it as a kid too, but Mommy insisted so I did it. When I got older, I appreciated why she was so big on it.

[Haeder]

He's one. He didn't write it.

Are you suggesting we raise a race of super kids?

[VMS]

Ok, on a slightly different topic:

Is it gay when a buddy sends you a "thank you" card for attending his surprise birfday party and giving him a gift? Not his wife, mind you, but your buddy?

I gave him a Guitar Hero edition of the Nintendo DS (he's on the road a LOT), and he sent me a thank you card.

I don't know. I mean, I appreciate the card and the thank you, but he said thank you at the party and we did the bro hug/got drunk playing beer pong thing. A card, between dudes, is kind of swishy.

OTOH, it's not like I'm going to call him on it. He just got a job as a lobbyist for the ESA, and Guitar Hero is the only video game he really plays. All the bennie games/swag/junk that he gets working for the ESA?

All mine, bitches.

I understood your gripe, and yeah, I think it's dopey to receive a thank you from a kid who can't do more than eat, sleep & shit. But on the other hand, I'd rather get some stupid acknowledgment like that than no acknowledgment at all.

I guess it's a double edged sword.

[jimmyslostchin]

Hoo hoo, go look at post #12.

[Sprite]

I'm completely with Sobi on this one. Howbout the parents send a card with a picture of the kid in the sweater and thank him themselves? That would make more sense. "Pretending" the kid wrote it is douchebaggery and just as awful as when people send cards that their pets "wrote". Hell, I don't know which is worse, and I think cards are fucking stupid anyway. Maybe I'm just a dick. ;p
