Not naive. They are just plain insensitive and completely disrespectful. They know we aren't Christians, yet they keep sending shit like this to Amanda. Not only am I hurt that they could be so clueless, I'm also quite pissed off.
We skipped visiting them for Christmas this year, and I have no guilt about it after what they've done.
Okay, so they know you aren't christians, so sending this book is thoughtless.. but do you think they also know how this man feels about gay marriage? Guess I'm asking, would they be that brutal or are they religions AND clueless?
I would be raging as well. How dare they offer such poison in the guise of a gift! This poison was GIVEN to your daughter.. who as a teen has quite enough issues on her mind already!
okay, I've had to delete already cos I'm venting away here.. Throw it away (waste no effort). You can tell them why next xmas, when they ask why you aren't visiting again.
My mother wrote a personal message in it for Amanda, and that is something I can't toss out. Such things are precious, even if they are completely wrong-headed.
You should be ashamed of yourself for disrespecting mom and dad in this way even if it was done out of anger... Maybe they have hurt you by not understanding your lifestyle -- regardless mom and dad have done nothing more than give you their love and raise you in a Christian home as they were raised (that is what they know). They have helped you time and time again with their support. You are depicting mom and dad as these awfully inconsiderate people -- why? to make interesting reading for your blog?!!! I want mom and dad to know just how inconsiderate their daughter is, but revealing such to them will break their hearts. The reality is that they love you and your daughter and are learning to love, respect and appreciate your wife. This is how you repay them for being your loving parents -- by making fun of them on your blog? Have you no limits?
my parents, for sending this book to my daughter for Christmas.

Are they that naive?

They have no idea how deeply they've hurt me.
Ugh.
Maybe the 'gift' part is in the way you choose to dispose of it? Target practice?

Stumbled you from Bossy. And THAT, is my favorite awful 'smas gift evah! I hope you sent them back Ellen's biography.
I'm so angry about this I could spit.
I know I have to say something to them, but I need to wait until my blood is no longer in a full boil.
Nony -- yeah, they know his thoughts on gay marriage. Bit harsh of a gift, eh?
I proposed the first ever S. family book burning. We were already planning a backyard campfire this week...
Oh, um, wow...
I'm here from BOSSY, and now you're on my list of regular reads.
Oh. *absolute dumbfounded look*

I'm not going to throw it away.
