Dear X and X,

Thank you so much for my gift, I love it. Here's what I have been up to. Mummy and Daddy say hi etc etc

Love baby

YANBU - annoying and cringe
YABU - babies love to write, stop being grumpy

Well just because YOUR baby was clearly so academically behind at three weeks it doesn't mean this baby is..

Seriously it makes me cringe

DontStopMeNow7 · 14/04/2022 00:14

YANBU. Cringe.

But it’s also so hilarious. More details please!?

IrishMamaMia · 14/04/2022 00:14

Cringe. A relative of mine kept this up for years with her pfb. As others have said though it's good etiquette to send a thank you note, so swings and roundabouts :)

SquirrelG · 14/04/2022 00:15

Oh it’s sweet and so bloody harmless. Don’t piss on the joy of parents to a newborn!

This! Don't be such a misery - at least a thank you card is being written.

Aaaabbbcccc · 14/04/2022 00:15

Yeah, no.

oakleaffy · 14/04/2022 00:17

It's sweet and harmless.. Everyone knows a baby can't hold a pen and write, so what's the problem :)

SevenWaystoLeave · 14/04/2022 00:21

Mostly been up to pooping at that age, surely

But I can't talk, I send my mother texts from my dog

Blossomtoes · 14/04/2022 00:22

I’d be bloody grateful to get a thank you note at all. It’s very rare to be thanked properly now.

mycatisannoying · 14/04/2022 00:25

This is where the 'right on' brigade, who appear so non-judgy on other threads, really can't help themselves ...

RestingMurderousFace · 14/04/2022 00:25

Cringe in a really cute way 😆

Sunnytwobridges · 14/04/2022 00:28

Serious cringe

FairyCakeWings · 14/04/2022 00:29

The reference to mummy and daddy is a bit cringe, but the thank you letter being sent from the baby is fine.

Luredbyapomegranate · 14/04/2022 00:30

Cheesy but not annoying

Why is everyone saying Cringe at the moment?!

ldontWanna · 14/04/2022 00:34

Cute.

VyeBrator · 14/04/2022 00:40

It's a bit twee but no need to shame them on a public forum 🙄

Luzina · 14/04/2022 00:45

Extreme cringe

This! You got a card. Whatever.
Fleur405 · 14/04/2022 00:47

Hard no!

Changemaname1 · 14/04/2022 00:49

I can’t get worked up about this sort of thing , the amount of times this situation would actually occur in my real life is so rare as I imagine it is in most peoples

I’d think it was sweet then go about my day

HeddaGarbled · 14/04/2022 00:49

Sweet (but only the first time).

Ozgirl75 · 14/04/2022 00:50

It’s sweet and if you’re the kind of person who gets wound up because of a thank you card from a baby, you need to have a hard look at yourself, as I suspect you are an asshat in a number of ways.

Passtherioja · 14/04/2022 00:50

Blimey-you mustn't have much to worry about in life. It's cute/cringy...who cares!? The parents are loved up with their baby-leave them be.

MakkaPakkas · 14/04/2022 00:52

YABU Don't piss on their bonfire.

ThanksItHasPockets · 14/04/2022 00:59

AIBU has reached a nadir of misanthropy over the last few weeks. What a nasty thread.

DontStopMeNow7 · 14/04/2022 01:07

I guess it depends on how much you like babies.

I’d have to say cringe not sweet. But I also think it’s hilarious. So my laughter would cancel any feelings of annoyance.
