I been sending cash birthday and Christmas gifts to my small God children for the last five years and have not had a single thank you letter from the parents. Should I ask them if they ever received the gifts which I would find embarrassing or just stop sending.

Thank you bella that is so kind of you. Now though, two years down the line and, not the first time I have been excommunicated with, I am not particularly bothered by it. In fact, life is so much simpler and a little less stressed with them out of it. Of course it would be lovely to have a loving family but that was not the case anyway. So no use crying over it now. I have so much more to be doing and worrying about. Thank you though, you take care. X

Feel very lucky. Children and grandchildren always write/send thank you letters/drawings for presents we send them. Have just had a beautiful card and chocs from son's partner for helping them to move house. So I hope that thank you letters aren't entirely a thing of the past.
