They just don't get it...

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this, I agree others just don't get it. This is not something you picked, and yes it does change your plans/lifestyle. Plus who ever heard of having to earn a gift??????

That said, I'm not quite as politically correct in that I'd probably email her and tell her to ~!@#$-off.

She has NO idea what you are going thru and you have to do what you feel right for your child. Beyond that it doesn't matter what others think-- I have come to the realization that you can't please everyone and you need to worry about pleasing yourself and making sure you are doing right for your child. I always say if God were to take my son early I just want to know I did everything I could have and have no regrets and I live that way everyday fighting this battle with CF.

Good luck to you.

I'm sorry she has hurt your feelings, but I think she is way out of line here. I'm probably more of a smarta$$ than some, but I'd be inclined to e-mail her back, and ask if she'd like to come over and paint over the darned thing. What kind of person gives gifts with conditions attached to them?!

I'm sure your grandma understands that you are only protecting your daughter. You certainly are not a horrible person for doing that.

Your cousin is definately wrong, but I think if you try to explain to her what you're going through right now, she'll probably just blow up at you more.

It may be best for you to just say you're sorry and allow her to cool down a bit before you try explaining things to her. Neither she nor your grandmother know what you're going through, so in their minds it probably looks like you're being selfish and inconsiderate, and they're getting impatient because your grandma is not going to live forever.

By trying to understand where they're coming from and acknowledging their frustration to them, it will be easier for you to help them understand where you're coming from. That's been my experience, anyway.
