[quote=Anonymous]The other gift thread got me thinking about my husband's sister (stepsister for about 24 years now). She is 34, 4 years younger than us. We see her once a year cause we live on the other side of the country.

She never gives gifts. Never got us a wedding gift. Her wedding was a month before ours and we got her a very generous gift. She never sent us a thank you card. DH asked her months later if she ever received it to make sure she did. Both parties traveled the same distance for each other's weddings. We've all been married for 8 years now.

We've gotten her kids small Christmas gifts every year (sent via post or in personif we're there for the holidays.). She has 3 kids. She's never said thank you or even acknowledged the gifts if sent via post. This year we still don't know if the kids received them! She hasn't said a word. No text, Facebook message, call, nothing.  My DD has had 3 Christmases, and she has given her a gift on one Christmas--the year we were there.

What do you make of this situation? She is a bit self-involved but isn't this completely over the top rude? The fact that she never even acknowledges our gifts!? I want to stop giving gifts but DH isn't sure, although he is finally annoyed with her behavior after this past Christmas nonacknowledgement. I do like giving the kids gifts though.
