I am fairly certain because it is not likely that they just gave cards with no cash. I never confronted her because I didn't care about the money and it wasn't worth fighting her over.And yea, I get that it is not the same. Keeping a notebook or spreadsheet is probably fairly normal. My mom is not that. I understand the concept of stuff not being worth fighting over, but it is v. weird to me that you would just overlook this and not mention it at all. This is so foreign to me, this type of family dynamic. There's a cultural element for me that would have kept me silent on the matter. A good, obedient mei-mei would never dishonor her mom by suggesting she stole from you. Nor would I risk family embarrassment. The whole thing would have made me sad though. soup I'm really looking forward to the movie. I think I will relate a lot, plus I'm all for seeing projects with and by Asians.

Are you secretly plugging your upcoming Netflix flick, soup ? Is this how you’re famous-adjacent??? It will be out in 2019. You will know it when you see it.

I should also add that I basically have no friends remaining who are unmarried, at least once. So I have strong opinions about something that doesn't really impact all that regularly because I'm far out of regular wedding season. "Strong opinions about something that doesn't really impact me" is my life motto tho. **scratches you off my wedding guest list**

Is it tacky not to have a registry and let people assume cash only?

This is why I do not want to have any type of wedding or celebration a second time around. I am trying to wait until people forget that we are engaged and then one day we'll just send out an announcement that we are married! This is pretty much what we did when I was KU with DS2. No announcement, our immediate families and people knew because we see them a lot but everyone else 🤷♀️ We were like, oh! We had a baby! After he was born 🤣

But to answer the original question, I'd mail a card and a check. But probably just a cheapie $2 or $3 card. Not a fancy $$$ one that I'd give at a wedding I actually attend. And I'd probably use some type of ugly stamp that's been in my desk for years. Not my cute shark stamps that I have now.
