Did you get a text, WhatsApp, Facebook, anything like that? If so they’ll consider that job done.

Different world?

Granddaughters may have sent cards but grandsons I would say is highly unlikely.

I am not saying it is right however in most families I know it is the female of the relationship that buys and sends the cards.

I also think that younger people do not send cards at all, they tend to send greetings via social media or text.

I have three grandsons, 12,13 and 16. I recently celebrated my birthday and received lovely presents from my son and daughter. Usually, my grandsons names are included on the cards their parents send but not this year. Therefore I thought I would receive separate cards from them, after all, they are old enough to buy them themselves. But I didn’t and I feel a bit hurt. Am I wrong to feel like this? I know COVID makes everything difficult but cards are sold in every corner shop and supermarket. Would value your opinions.
