I think if it had said something about different notes for different occasions and encouraged people to think through which they chose, it would have effected me differently. I really appreciate the opposing view here :)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009672836043149757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889243601440388081.post-74079336569499262332011-08-17T05:40:07.921-07:002011-08-17T05:40:07.921-07:00Deborah - thanks so much for your opinion on this....Deborah - thanks so much for your opinion on this. Makes sense about the pre-made card. My parents didn't put notes in my lunch either - ever. I did try with Jonah and it was something that meant a lot to him. I am sure that C loved your notes :) Thanks again for your comment!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08009672836043149757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889243601440388081.post-64586615585559641352011-08-17T05:30:32.021-07:002011-08-17T05:30:32.021-07:00I have to disagree on this one having used the pre...I have to disagree on this one having used the premade little notes many years ago when C was in school. In my mind it is no different than giving someone a store bought card which often expresses sentiments in words that not all of us can come up with on our own. I spent a lot of time thumbing through my two pre-made note packs to pick the right one for what was going on at that point in our lives. And, quite frankly, I'm not sure I would have thought to write a note on a napkin (which we didn't usually have around the house anyway) as it is not something I grew up with.<br />Often, i would add something to the back of the pre-made card.<br /><br />As far as expressing the sentiment - I love spending time with you - to your child when you send him off to school...not everyone is even capable of homeschooling or unschooling and thus spending all day every day with their children. Why not reminding them while they are away that you love spending time with them. You do the same with your spouse, at tiems, right - when they are away on business or at work.<br /><br />Just my take on it.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356353958574656623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889243601440388081.post-57442638349247818222011-08-17T04:59:04.370-07:002011-08-17T04:59:04.370-07:00I find it especially ironic that the note in the p...I find it especially ironic that the note in the picture speaks to loving to spend time with your kid, when the student is at school and obviously NOT spending time with the parent.Michaelhttp://michaelbellsmusic.comnoreply@blogger.com
