[quote=Anonymous]I always send thank you notes. I don't expect one for a kid's birthday and am pleasantly surprised when I receive one. It makes me think the parent is classy and thoughful. I assume I'll get one for a shower or wedding gift, but that isn't always the case. I try to just assume they are thoughtful people who are just really busy and have many stressors, but if I have given someone many gifts and never get a thank you I find it tacky.

For example SIL makes it clear for her birthday and any events she hosts she wants money or a gift card. We do that and give gifts for her kids. She rarely says thank you let alone writes anything, but I think in DH's family they weren't taught to do this because another one of his relatives told me how touched she was to get a thank you note from me. She said it was the first family thank you note she had received ever and then in front of everyone she made a snide comment about how I should teach my sibling in-laws how to write one. Whatever.[/quote]
