BM Vent

Okay, so I don't know if I am overreacting or just being silly...

My MOH told me she sent out e-mails to all the BMs about stuff and planning. Out of the 4 e-mails she gets, she only gets one response back--and that from my cousin whose father is dying of cancer, yet really wants to help out. The other 3 check their e-mail everyday and I do not understand why they couldn't take the 30 seconds to at least acknowledge that they got it.

My MOH is great and says that her and my other BM will do it all, but I do not think that is fair and that they should all pitch in or at least talk to her about ideas that they have.

Am I wrong about this? Should I talk to the other BMs about this behavior because I was seriously thinking of sitting them all down and doing that....

I think you should let your MOH handle it. Tell her to maybe send out another email and say...listen...you guys didnt respond...is it b/c you don't want to be involved in the planning? If that's the case I will do it with the other BM, but I don't want you to feel like you didn't get your opinions in once we decide...blah blah blah
Don't worry yourself with it. Sometimes girls dont get it that it's a big deal.
good luck

I know my BMs did that to my MOH as well... not cool! Have your MOH call them---basically my MOH didn't get quick responses and it became annoying from her- of course I didn't know any of this until after the fact-she didn't want to stress me out- but she did say that she had to give a bit of an attitude in one of the emails which finally got the response... of course they had their excuses--- but how busy can one be not to be able to respond to a simple email!

Good luck! Tell her to keep emailing- write
in there- second request/or second email/ third email...etc...

Honestly, let your MOH handle it. You cannot force girls to be more involved than they want to be -- and you 'sitting them down and talking to them about their behavior' will NOT go over well. It has the potential to come off as you sounding very entitled, demanding, and selfish even though that's not your intention.

I agree with the other girls to have the MOH call them. Or, you could call them and just say 'Hey, so-and-so sent out an email and was worried you didn't get it. Do you think you could email her back?' I wouldn't go farther than that, though.
