[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I used to always reach out but that's because my SIL (and BIL) and their kids are rude and never acknowledge nor thank us for gifts. Now they send acknowledgements at some point (two months later in the case of a generous graduation gift this year). I'm over it and have told my husband that his family is 100% his responsibility now. I love buying people gifts and I used to enjoy searching for and buying things for them, but after years of silence I got tired of it and stopped. Now I think he sends gift cards at the last minute but I'm not sure because I don't care anymore. [/quote]

Ugh, OP here and I tried this for my FIL but my DH just totally dropped the ball and the poor man has never received a birthday gift or a Father’s Day card after I abdicated responsibility—but I suppose he didn’t before I came along either. So I’ll continue to take responsibility for the nieces and nephews whether their parents acknowledge the gifts or not. [/quote]
