Am I wrong for being upset? (maybe somewhat OT and a bit of a rant)

Ok, so let me first say that I do NOT expect people to buy things for my baby. I enjoy getting things for him, of course, especially since I had nothing but a baby blanket and a 24 mo. fleece jacket left over from my now 15 yr old...but I repeat, I do and did NOT just EXPECT gifts...

So, tell me...am I wrong to be upset at the number of people who contacted me saying "I am going to get the baby something, what do you need for him?" They ask for my mailing address so they can "get it out in the mail right away." Then...weeks, sometimes months have gone by with nothing. I wouldn't be upset if they had just not asked me, or if they contacted me and said, "hey sorry, I was going to get a gift, but turns out I just can't." No detailed explanation needed, goodness knows I know the economy is bad...but at least let me know not to expect the mailman or UPS guy to come with a package...otherwise, I am worried it is floating out in the ether, or got delievered to the wrong person...

I was raised to stand by my statements. If I say I will do something, I do it and if I can't for some reason, I let the person know that I can't, so they aren't sitting there waiting for me to do it.

Thanks for letting me rant..
