Some time ago I started emailing out to family and friends on a bit more than a weekly bases. The emails contained either pictures of a resent event or a reminder of a family member’s birthday or a bit of news. Often someone would ask to be put on the list to receive my emails. I enjoy sending out picture and bits of news, but now I want to quit.
In the beginning I would get replies back or a comment here or there. Now emails to me are far and few between. Since the first of December I have sent out about 30 emails to about 20 people per email. Joe sold his house, Tim wedding is planned for August, guess who’s expecting. My daughter and mother are about the only ones who ever respond back. I don’t expect a reply with each email, once a month a little something would be nice. Am I asking too much?
One sided conversations is something reserved for only Thomas and I. If family and friends are going to act handicapped like Thomas, unable to show a bit of appreciation for the time and effort I put into these emails, I quit.

I would quit, then if they start asking where they are, I would make a smart a$$ remark about oh I didn't think anyone was reading them since I never got any feedback... I've been pretty b!tchy lately so thay may or may not be the best advice ;)
I'm with Stephie!
