I wonder how you guys would feel about this. I really need NOT get my panties in a bunch over it really.
I may have mentioned that BE's (good) daughter just had her first baby two weeks ago. This is the daughter and son in law that is the Uber-High-Achiever. Very nice, reserved. We went to Italy with her and her husband last year. Had a nice time together.
Well, she emailed BE the baby pics and addressed the email to only him. Thats fine, because maybe she assumed (correctly) he would just forward them to me and share them. But then BE told me that he got a call from his ex gf "M" (no, not broom hilda... another ex gf that he was with on and off for 4+ years). M called to congratulate BE because his daughter emailed her with the pics. So she emailed her and not me. She never even lived with BE.

I agree with Savannah, that since you two are living together she just sent ONE email/ letter to her dad's place assuming that you would see it as well... and may not have thought about adding your name to the email/ envelope since it would seem redundant...
And having a new baby is exciting- you want the WORLD to see your baby, right?
Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think you should let it bother you.
I have friends who are couples and I kind of treat them like one person- if I send him an email, I know she will read it as well.
Just wondering, because I always address EVERYONE in the house when I'm writing to someone, even if it takes two lines. I don't want anyone feeling left out or I would at least put in the email: Hey, tell pacsun I said Hi.
Something.
That is just me and it would irritate me, but that's because I'm VERY etiquette conscious and some people just aren't.
Thanks you guys.. I know she is just really busy. I was pretty overwhelmed after dd was born! It just makes me wonder a little since I am in her email address book. Would have been easy to include me. Oh well, I'll chalk it up to not being a biggie.
The baby is a cutie! I'll post a pic when I can :o)
She had to send a separate announcement and email to BE's ex b/c she knew he wouldn't just share w/ her but will just share with you.
I'm the same way, Cat. I address everyone in the home when I send a letter. (I bet it was either baby brain or maybe she did not know how to spell my real name...it is hard to spell)...
As for her and I, feel we get along fine, but she is pretty reserved. I am not as outgoing and as "M" was so she warmed up M better and easier. I remember one night in Italy that made me wonder if she accepted BE and I. We were at a pub and she said "well as long as you two are happy, that's all that matters." It made me think that she felt there were issues. I am quite a bit younger than BE, and there could always be that "gold digger" fear. Plus BEs exW (her mom) and all of his ex gf were both very skinny/waif like and tall...and I am petite with some curves. BE is tall so maybe she sees too many physical and age differences. BE is more social/outgoing than me.. maybe all of these things combined. But I have been nothing but nice to her, and we have never had any kind of disagreement so if she is unhappy with me I don't know about it!
I'll have to chill and just assume that she meant for me to get the pictures, too.
