I hope this is not a sign of how the society is turning. |
I've thought about stopping it too. I have one set of great nephews who never ever acknowledge the money I send in a card for their birthday. I have another niece and nephew who always call me to thank me.
What I'm wondering, though, when the kids are little (say 7 and 8), is it their fault or their parents' fault for not acknowledging a gift? This then leads to a teen or graduate not acknowledging a gift because they haven't been taught. How do you know when to stop giving gifts when you know they'e not going to be acknowledged. I send cash so I would at least like to know that they've received the money.
