[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is young and does not have dementia. She has social anxiety and fixates on these things. She was at the shower and at my house for a week so she saw people deliver and bring gifts. I'm at the point where I might call or email everyone I sent notes to and just make sure they received it but really don't have time for this drama. My mom has been fine in recent years with her mental health but lately seems unstable. I talked to my dad and siblings. Infortunately she won't go to a doctor or do therapy or take medication.[/quote]

My mother does this too. She is obsessed with ensuring thank you notes are sent. Went as far as pulling together all addresses for me and sending me the cards. Helpful, yes, a little obsessive and anxious, also yes. In the end, it's not about your but about their Victorian obsession with how they are viewed by their own social circle. I'd much rather just hope I taught my kid to be polite and thank people. Too much work to worry about whether they sent thank you's once they're out of my house. [/quote]
