[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you, but sometimes life happens, and parents forget. I have dutifully had both my kids craft special thank you notes post party for nearly 8 years.  I am very "in" to the lost art of mailing thank you notes.

However, I dropped the ball with our last party. It's been over six months, so it would be awkard to send thank you's at this point.  I know there are some parents' out there judging our family etiquette. I feel horrible.

I like to think that everyone's heart is in the right place, and sometimes we mess up.[/quote]
 
Oh, please!  How can you forget to thank someone for giving your child a gift for his birthday?  You can't.  Ill-mannered parents, particularly mothers, are the norm today.  I think it was incredible tacky to add the gift certificate part.  Not thanking people for any gift, kindness, etc., is simply bad manners.  Also, you are wrong about it being too late to say thank you.  People spend money for your kid and it is inexcusable not to say thank you and, even worse, not to teach your children to say thank you.  Bad role models make for bratty kids and ill-mannered adults.  Congratulations.[/quote]
