Jim0987 #11 - Mk8's user manual needs some work

[jim0987]

If I reflect honestly paragraph 3 was written because i know full well that SIL would show it to my W. This is something i want my wife to understand.

I also have thought that i would talk to my W about this directly to let her know i will be replying to SIL.

This is my hurt ego talking i suppose, they have an opinion which i believe is totally unfair (hence the anger in my previous post) and i want to correct it (Control coming out). and again if im really honest with myself there is part of me believes that if i can shatter one part of her distorted view the rest may start to unravel.

So the sensible plan is that I do nothing for a couple of days and then see how I feel or whether i just let it go (that song is stuck in my head these days)

Right now my amended text is

Hi SIL

I was disappointed to receive the parcel and letter from you. I'll respect your wishes and refrain from sending N and N presents in future. Please know I wish the very best for them both.

Regarding the money W inherited from your Gran, I was unaware this is how you, and I take from your letter W, feel about this. I would gladly discuss this with W as I would like to understand more about why she feels this way although i recognise that may not be appropriate at the moment.

Thank you for sharing this with me.

Regards

Jim


Hmmmmm..... that could probably be seen as passive aggressive giraffe.

Probably best i say nothing at least for now.

Thank you for the help and input
