Anyone care to enlighten me as to why my in-laws can not seem to recall my children's names? MIL has exactly two grandkids. Katherine and Lauren. But today I get two cards in the mail. One is addressed to Elizabeth Lauren ??? Uh, who is that? My DD's name is Lauren Elizabeth!!! growl.gif

I swear, one day I will stop being suprised by their stupidity...until then, I'll keep sharing with you. rolling_smile.gif

BAC'sMom replied: Do we have the same MIL? rolling_smile.gif

My daughter’s birthday was a week ago no card, no phone call, no nothing!

hug.gif to you girl

grandma replied:
I have six grandkids, I know each one's full name w/correct spelling, birthdays, likes and dislikes.
My 85 year old mother calls them by anything sounding near their actual name or something that starts with the same letter. I let her slide due to her age and the fact that she loves them to death.
As for your MIL, that is inexcusable...fire her! (not sure inexcusable is a word..lol)

Anthony275 replied: my grandma spells my name wrong all the time in cards and stuff...how hard is my name to spell?

grandma replied:
How does she mispell it? Anthony who is that guy in your avatar?

mckayleesmom replied:
That is Sean Penn in his avatar....hes an actor.

grandma replied:
Thanks, I thought that who it was, but it says He's dead, so I was confused.

Anthony275 replied: no it's not it's alex winter mouthing the words "he's dead" from bill & ted

she spells it antony... i would think she would know how to spell it since its her brother's name
once she sent me a birthday card for GODSON

A&A'smommy replied: rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif thats awful!!!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Yeah, but it's Sean Penn playing the part... lol

Anthony275 replied: no that's alex winter playing bill

mckayleesmom replied: That is the kid from Bill and Ted....Him and Sean look so much alike.

Anthony275 replied: yeah, played by alex winter not sean penn

Hillbilly Housewife replied: holy crap do they ever look alike!!!

sissy67 replied: Ok...too funny....I have two girls too....and they are Lauren and Katherine!

grandma replied:
Oh good, we'll just call them Kristy and Lindsy....lol

MommyToAshley replied: How awful...I'm sorry.

mommy~to~a~bunch replied: Wow, that is very disturbing. Do they have some sort of wacky weed you don't know about rolling_smile.gif ?

redchief replied: I'm sorry, Cary. This is precisely why I will not allow my children to have children yet. I have the world's worst "namenesia."

Seriously, though, I can't imagine a grandparent not knowing their grand children's names.

Calimama replied: That's so rude! I'm sorry. sad.gif hug.gif hug.gif

HuskerMom replied: Yeah she should know they're names. My grandma has 20 great grandkids and she knows all their names, at least first names if not middle names too.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: That woman is just. wacko.gif Seriously. wink.gif
