TY Note Question

*sigh.grumble*

Here's the deal:

My DARLING husband wanted to write the thank you notes to his family. Said it was really, really important to him. Also said we should write the ones to my mom and my aunt (who paid for/planned the wedding) together.

It's been 2 months and one week, and the damn things aren't done.

Should I just write/send them myself? Nag him until he caves and writes the damn things? (Granted, I've only mentioned it once since the other TYs were sent out...) Wait another week or two?

Re: TY Note Question

  • My vote is nag. If they're not done in a week, do it yourself and tell him it must not have meant THAT much to him.

  • I agree with Mamie.  Tell him he has a week to do them if he really wants to or you're doing them yourself because they've got to get done.  Sometimes boys just need a fire lit under there butt I find!

  • After dinner just say, "Let's finish those TY notes now." I refused to do all of them because it sets a precedent if we have an agreement for him to do something but then I do it. Instead, I just put them in front of him and he wrote them while he was watching TV.

    (He insists this made him write them faster but I saw him staring at the TV and taking forever. Whatever - they got done.)

  • Nag for sure or he'll never do them.  I doubt it crosses his mind on a daily basis.  We still have some to do from our AHR from the end of June... really need to get that done.  Can you nag me too?
  • i'd try nagging for a week, then if no success, i'd write them for him. Not like i should talk, i still have some to finish myself...

  • I'd remind him again and if he still doesnt do it tell him you're going to do it.

     That being said, we still have HALF of our TY's to do. We went on a 2 week honeymoon, then had a death in the family, plus other weddings etc. It's just been busy. A friend of mine said we had a YEAR to get them out, but I think that's kind of crazy! We are finishing them this weekend, no excuses ;) Which.. will be 3 months... works for me!

  • Kristin, your friend is absolutely wrong. That is the biggest etiquette myth I want to abolish.
