[quote=Anonymous]I am around your stepson's age and I've stopped sending my dad and stepmom gifts for birthdays and holidays because I will come visit 6 months later and see the gift still sitting unwrapped, never used. It hurts my feelings that they never acknowledge the gifts I put a lot of thought into, and that the gifts go wasted and unused. Sometimes they'll send me a gift for the holidays, and it will go like this. My dad will call me two or three days before Christmas/my birthday, and ask what I want for a gift. I usually don't know what to say and just tell him I am not sure. Then he sends nothing. No gift, no card. I know that my stepmom's kids get wrapped presents, on time, with a card. It's not about the gift, it's about the effort. I've stopped sending gifts but I still send cards. Sometimes I talk to them on holidays; sometimes they just never pick up the phone and we don't get to talk. So it goes both ways. Sorry he is inconsiderate. [/quote]
