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. |
That is something I struggled with, so we decided to cut it off at 18 or after they graduate HS. We did receive a graduation announcement for one of DH's nephews, mentioned above. His thank you note started out....."Hey Guys......"
I just think a little more respect should be shown when addressing people older than you, and certainly an aunt and uncle. But, maybe that's jusst me.
