To be annoyed she can't get my son's name right

[jengles]

Have received a Christmas card from a Uni friend (with Round Robin letter, but that's a different thread), but yet again she's got my primary school aged DS's name wrong.

Won't name him on here, but it's equivalent to if his name was "Harlow" writing "Herbie" on the card, while getting DD & DH's names right.

She follows me on Facebook & must see the kids names on there occasionally & I messaged her about it in January where she apologised, saying "Herbie" was another relatives child, but lo and behold this Christmas the same mistake has been made... what more can I do??

AIBU to be annoyed by it?!

Is this a wind-up? Wow, this is such a problem - a first world problem

YABU - you forgot to enable voting.

She sat down and took the time to buy, write and send you a card, that was a kind gesture. So, she has some mental block about your child's name, she is not being mean deliberately, unless, like me, she thinks you should have called your child "Herbie" and not "Harlow"

She "follows" you on Facebook, if you were friends why don't you say "we are friends on Facebook".

How can you be so easily "horrified" and "mortified", and not bemused and forgiving? In our house this would create much amusement and giggles and maybe a cause for creating a nickname.

So, here's a little gift for you, Happy Christmas . Loosen up

Blimey @SageRosemary apologies for rattling your cage & how very dare I start a thread, without being aware there was a requirement to vote.

To clarify, it isn't "just" a Facebook friend, and actually (despite her being pounced on for suggesting it), I think that @YoniAndGuy hit the nail on the head... the friend is several years older than me and we met at Uni (on a course with a lot of mature students), so was seen as the "baby" and feel that has followed through to being less important.

This years card to her has gone with son's correct name in it + a note asking who "herbie" is

Surely after the first time you get it wrong, you add it onto your address book (as i do with all my friends who now have partners/kids.)

to keep getting it wrong shows you don't really care if you are right or wrong.

Of course yanbu. If she's putting enough effort in to do a round Robin she can work out his name
