Jeremy's feelings
This Monday, we will be celebrating Emily's birthday at mom's house and I am assuming that all of the family will be giving her gifts for her birthday. As you will recall that mom did a birthday dinner for Jeremy too and she was the only one who gave him a gift that evening. Jeremy is a very observant and sensitive child and I know he will notice that he wasn't treated fairly by his aunts and uncles. Dave and I have not mentioned this to him but we are upset that our child has or will be left out. We have always treated each our nieces and nephews fairly and just because we do not do birthday parties at our house anymore and mom does for our kids, we didn't think our kids would be left out on the gifts. Now you might say that we make more money than Scott and Sara which is true, but that is not the point. We only give our children toys at Christmas time and birthdays. We do not reward them with toys throughout the year and if they get a toy throughout the year, it is because they used their own money to buy it. Now I don't expect all of you to go out and buy a gift for Jeremy, but just think of his feelings. I don't want this post to cause any problems in the family, but I felt it was my responsiblity as a mother to voice how my son's feelings may be hurt by your intent actions.

I want to thank everyone who was kind of enough to think of Jeremy's feelings on Monday. He hasn't said anything yet, but I know he will as he is one who likes to think things through and then discuss them with Dave and I. I am so sorry if this post has caused feelings of hurt to anyone. Please accept my deepest apologies. My intent wasn't to hurt anyone, especially Emily, but I just wanted my kids to be treated fairly by everyone in the family.
