I'd probably have checked after the first time I didn't hear back. I find their lack of response very rude. You say "small" God children so I'm assuming they are too young to acknowledge on their own, but at the very least their parents should put them on the phone to say thank you. Not sure what you can do now after five years. In future I'd be inclined to send just a card, as I'm not sure f you can say anything now. I personally find that lack of a thank you inconsiderate although from what I hear it's not all that unusual. My own reaction would have been to check after the first lack of acknowledgement.

I think its very rude that the parents have not thanked you ....if it were me I would just send a card in future and set some money aside for the god children and save it until their older ie when their 18...

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.
