Re: Having a hard time letting this go...a mom in my moms group.
Defintely rude...and you are too nice...
I have never heard of being "storked"...such a nice thing you are doing!
Just one question, if she is well enough, and out and about with a newborn..why can't she pick up or make her own dinner next time?

Re: Having a hard time letting this go...a mom in my moms group.
Right off the top, it sounds rude to not say thanks. Of course you aren't doing it purely for the praise but there's nothing wrong with wanting a ty, it seems like common courtesy. I wouldn't pander to her in a passive way though, asking her questions about if she got it, enjoyed it. If you want to say something, say it straight IMO. I probably wouldn't say anything bc it would sound petty coming out, even though I don't think it is. Some things just have a way of sounding like that. But if I was saying something, I would own it since she obviously knows you prepared it. It's not like it's an item that fell behind the couch or they the gift card. Is she generally that kind of person? If not, maybe much more was going on for her (besides a newborn) that she forgot when she saw you?

I also think you should say to her "Oh, so you did get the food that I brought over to you right?" or somethinig to that effect
I would do that too or maybe say 'how did the picture session go, I met you DH and he seemed nice'.

Re: Having a hard time letting this go...a mom in my moms group.
I dont know anything about being "storked." Is this a dinner she is supposed to freeze and save for a later day or is it something that is prepared for her and then she is supposed to eat that night? Is it possible that the whole "stork" thing is offputting to her? It sounds like she wasnt thrilled with the whole thing even BEFORE you dropped off the food. I worked with someone once who would NEVER eat anything that was prepared by someone else ("How do I know what their hygiene is?"). Anytime there was a birthday at work we would all make something and she would ONLY eat what she made. THAT being said, if she hasnt come out and said that she no longer wants to be storked then she needs to at least say thank you. If not she needs to go "stork herself."

I totally agree with this, why do you have to cook food for her if she is well enough to get out and about BY HERSELF without her husband! Honestly, she should be ashamed of herself!

Re: Having a hard time letting this go...a mom in my moms group.
I am terrible w getting thanks yous out the door, acknowledging gifts, etc. When I first had the LO I was horrible with returning calls back, being so overwhelmed. So at first, I was like, she's a new mommy, she's got 100 things running through her head.
But
If you have time for face-to-face outings and photography sessions, you do have time, IN PERSON to say thanks. She saw you for pete's sake!
