 Pathetic Excuse for Baby Registry on BabiesRus.com

To whom it may concern,
I have recently registered for my baby shower on your online store, babiesrus.com.
I have an issue with the form to fill out in the grandparents section. You only have 2 places for grandparents, and can only insert up to 8 characters in each of them. My mother and father are divorced, and my fiance has a mother and a foster mother. Have you people ever been updated on the divorce ratio in this country? Or even considered the fights caused between 2 families and how devastated my fiance's foster mother was to not be included as a grandparent on the registration? Or my father?
You should be considering the families that have more than 2 grandparents, and be thoughtful enough to provide enough space for more than 8 characters.
I think you should take into account to redo your pathetic excuse of a registry form and realize this isn't the 1950's.

Yep, you're right. This isn't the 1950's. If it were, there would be
only two sets of grandparents listed. BTW, are you married to the
baby daddy? Guess not if you refer to him as your 'fiance.' More
dysfunctionality breeds....

I think the grandparents are included to help identify the parents (if
they have a common name such as Smith).
You may have a point that the more people you could list would help in
the event someone's not sure they have the right registry.
But
Why would you send such a mean and insulting letter to anyone.
Especially a company that sets up a way for you to get
"free" gifts at no cost to you. The registry is free - if
you don't like it, go somewhere else or send a nicely written helful
message.

Your kidding right? Your family has entirely too much time on their
hands if they are devistated by that!!!!!!

And honestly, your families are lacking in class and dignity if they
FOUGHT over this. That's simply ridiculous.
And this complaint sounded familiar... there was another one like it
about a year ago, in case anyone cares:

There's not even a real need to include grandparents' names in a baby
registry. If a grandparent's friend wants to buy your baby a gift,
that person can ask your name and where you're registered.
Anyone who would be "devastated" as to not be included needs
to grow up and gain perspective.

Color me uninformed, but why would you include grandparents' names in
your registry? If the people buying gifts don't know you enough to
know your name, why are they shopping for you? I don't get it.

Whitney,
You have a good point but the sledgehammer approach just is not
working ya.

Sigh.
I actually begrudingly agree with you because I also registered at
Babies-R-Us, have three sets of grandparents for my son, and had a
difficult time with this.
But the way your letter is written almost made me change my mind.
