MY GOD my dad knows how to irritate me!
We were round at my parents at the weekend doing the final addressing etc of the evening invitations. They come with little RSVP cards, and when I say little, they are really quite tiny. I therefore had previously made the decision not to stamp them, thinking that some people might prefer to put them into an envelope or into a card. Our day invitations had the same size RSVP card, and I hadn't put a stamp on them, and in fact about half have come back inside an envelope or card, and half have come back by themselves, showing that I was right not to do so.
When my dad received his day invitation, he moaned about the lack of a stamp... "nice invite, but you forgot to put a stamp on my RSVP card"!! So I politely explained my reasons for not including a stamp.
So when we went round to do the evening invitations... what does he do... HE MOANS AGAIN! "I would put a stamp on those cards... don't you think it would be nice for people if their card was stamped?" NO, because it would be a waste of a stamp if people want to write us a card! And it is not my responsibility to provide a stamp anyway... yes, it would be lovely of me, but definitely not necessary. He acted like people would be horribly offended by having to go out and buy a stamp!
ARGH. Who is right?
