I am in pain

I feel extremely overwhelmed by so many warm words, valuable suggestions and comfort in hugs!

Thank you all.

I have had a discussion with my H on my feelings and he had been of the opinion that I should let this slide ( a gender issue?) because for a 19 year old boy receiving a cake as a gift is no big deal. But on reading all the posters, I am convinced that we as parents are responsible towards making our son MORE sensitive and considerate. Hence I am sending a brief email to my S to express my hurt and I hope not to turn this into a Major Issue.

As Cheers has written in her poster- I too will take this as a cue to move on and plan not to send another care package.
