I have a somewhat strained relationship with my stepmom. It's not bad, per se, but it's not as easy as it could be. I have been trying so hard in this pregnancy to include her in everything. Around 12 weeks, she told us that she and dad wanted to buy the baby's furniture for the nursery, which was a very generous offer. We went shopping this weekend and I called them and said that we wanted to be respectful of whatever price point they were comfortable at. They said find a few sets, we'll call you Sunday and chat. So we did and they did.
Dad put me on speaker phone while I told them about the furniture, and then said hold on a sec and the sound cut out. Because I couldn't hear anything, ok, I'm off speaker phone. They were generous with their offer and apparently, I thanked Dad but not stepmom. We've already written a thank-you note to both of them for this. Well, Dad just called and step-mom apparently is in a tiff because she heard me thank Dad but not her. I really thought I thanked both of them. This is not the first time this thing has happened and it's NEVER intentional, but I feel like crap. And I don't know how to go about it "Hi stepmom, I'm sorry I left you off the thank you for the wonderful gift you're giving us?" Ugh.
Two things:
First off - I really thought I thanked both of them. I would swear it.
Second - The speaker phone thing sucks. If I hadn't been on it in the first place this wouldn't have happened. Not their fault, but still crappy.

ugh i'm sorry you're dealing with that. did you tell your dad that you know you thanked both of them how sorry/crappy it makes you feel.
I wish he wouldn't have told you that she was pissed, because that just puts both you and him in a terrible/uncomfortable position.

Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

Lesson learned!!
They offered to do something nice, you said thanks. What does she want you to do? Grovel at her feet?
To make you feel my love.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
