'Put Your Big Girl Panties On' sounds like a good book! I may need to make a trip to the book store!
Sad to hear that your WH is placing the responsibility on you... It is exactly how I took it anyways. Like send the letters and if Piano shows them to bub then great, but if she doesnt then it will be P's fault for keeping the letters from bub? right?
Why dont you write back something like
Dear WH, I recieved your letter and was surprised to receive it. I understand your need to express your feelings and your wantimg to connect with bub however i find that you are placing more resonsibilty on me. We both know it will be years before she can read and understand them, so it now becomes my responsibilty to read them to her. perhaps you should keep a journal and give it to bub when she is much older. You know that more than anything i want you to be an active part of her life and for her to be loved by you. im not sure a letter is the best way to show an infant, toddler or child of any age how much you love her in the form of a letter only. Dont want to discourage you from reacing out to her and showing her you care just dont think the letters are an effective way of doing so.
its a way putting the responsibility back on him. and letting him no you want him to be a part of bub's life . you do dont you?
i agree with waiting to reply. I also think the letter is not just meant for bub... although it is directed to her, he knows she cant read and you are the one who is receiving it...
i find it interesting actually. maybe you should wait and see what the next letter or two have to say?
