Thank you note written by 3 week old baby

[letterletter]

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

Yabu
Probably proud first time parents
Won't happen 2nd time round 🤣

It’s very cringe (but also something I would have done in the hormonal new born stage… and still occasionally do for grandparents now he’s one ).

I sent a thank you text from my car to my SIL....

I did this 😂 cringe away, I’m not sorry 😂

@Georgeskitchen if I’m lucky enough to have baby 2, it definitely will 😂

A bit cringeworthy but they are doing well to have thank you notes ready by three weeks

God just when you think MN can't suck any more joy from life, it finds a way...

YABU that's cute

Don't people always write thank you notes from their children? The vast majority of thank you cards I get (and send) are along the lines of:

Dear XX

Thank you so much for my lovely XX. I had a very fun (reason for gift).

Love XX (help them do a bit of scribbling for their name)

MN - why you so weird?

YABU
i’m impressed any parent of a 3 week old had the time and inclination to write any thank you note.

Definitely cringe but absolutely wouldn’t make me grumpy!! Lighten up!

Meh.

@1forAll74

I bought some dog biscuits for a neighbours dog once. and got a little letter from the dog, saying thanks for getting me some biscuits, I have eaten some already, luv from Danny (that's the dog )

Cute 😁

@WhereDoesThisToiletGo

I sent a thank you text from my car to my SIL....

Car ! Lucky you!

I only had one from the oven, and a badly scribbled note from a mop.

I’d just be pleased that they’d bothered to write a thank-you note.
It seems to be a dying art nowadays.

Many of you need to know that you will be a lot happier when you aren’t looking for reasons to judge and snipe and criticise. Give it a try. You’ll have to step away from the misanthropy of MN though.

‘Cringe’. Give me strength. It’s not even an adjective.

@WarmSausageTea

Not my thing, but I’d take it in the spirit it’s intended, and I’d definitely appreciate the effort of sending a thank you note.

This!⬆️ Bit of harmless, well intended cringe. No big deal. I'd be super impressed & appreciative that they found the time to even write thank you notes with a newborn to look after!!

A bit cringe. But I totally did that when DS was a baby.

Bleurgh. I bet those parents think that’s just adorable.

YABU and a bit mean. It's also a quicker way of writing a thank you card in my experience. TBH I'm always impressed when new parents have time to write anything at all.

Neither really. I wouldn't do it but I'm impressed someone who gave birth 3 weeks ago has it together enough to do it.

YABU

My dog writes his own thank you notes.

I think it's cute

YABU. It’s harmless. Don’t be a twat.

This.

Honestly, why so humourless?!

So few people bother with thank you notes. I think it’s a really nice thing to do even if writing it from the baby is a bit twee.
