Thank yous

This year we decided to give the same (generous) amount of money to each adult child and their partner, asking for individual bank accounts so it wasn't seen as a joint present. 7 children plus their partners.. Whilst our own children and 3 partners have phoned or texted their thanks 4 of the partners haven't bothered. I think this is so rude and I am quite shocked. A thank you text/call/note is so easy to make nowadays and creates a real warmth between giver and recipient.

My DD is wonderful at getting her 3 to send thank-you letters/cards, although I'd be happy with an email or text nowadays. My nephews rarely remember to say thank you for the presents I send their children, unless someone reminds them. I just need to know that the present has arrived - I don't need effusive thanks, but I believe it's polite to say thank you.

It's always nice to have a thank you. It was my grandson's 10th birthday last Friday and I got a lovely telephone call thanking me for his presents and telling me about what else he had got.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Little txt from my GS on Xmas day meant a lot ?

That is heartening Feelingmyage it's good to feel appreciated and as you say makes you want to help more.
I had a lovely note from my granddaughter thanking me for the extra help I gave her last year. Sadly other family members have not bothered to get in touch, its not a hard thing to do is it just send an e-mail or other message.

I would have been delighted to I always have to ask my nephew's mum (DH's sister) if he got the presents for his children so rude.
We don't buy for they adults in our family.

That’s good. It’s so easy these days to send a quick text or email, but appreciated just as much. What a shame some still can’t manage even that!

What a nice start to the New Year for you! .
