[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its ok, but it is tacky to ask. Send the kid a 10 dollar gift if you can and be done with it.[/quote] I doubt the mother was asking for gift cards or money [/quote] This. OP said the mom asked for cards. Not gifts. OP, it's sad that your first reaction was that the request was "tacky." That's pretty judgy. Asking for gifts is a gift grab and therefore tacky, but at this time, asking for cards is just a way of hoping to cheer up and distract a kid who likely is bummed. The "thousands" of other kids who also can't have parties are not your personal acquaintances--right? So how are they harmed or insulted if you choose to send a card to one kid you do know? Oh and you don't have to go buy a card. Have you got a kid? Grab paper and pens and have your kid stay occupied a few minutes making a card. This is not something to parse for its social appropriateness. Certainly not now. [/quote]
