[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, not enough to by a house, but I thought it was generous. I gave them $1000.[/quote]

Good grief,  just do what I"ve seen "Ask Amy" etc. recommend. Ask her, "Sally, I wanted to be sure you and Bob received the check I sent. I'd hate to think it went astray. Did you receive the $1,000? I didn't get any note about it from you so I just wanted to check in." Done. She will, if she's a decent person, feel ashamed she didn't acknowledge it, and you will have said your piece without being a b***h about it and burning family bridges forever. [/quote]

I HATE this. This is some passive, probably misogynist bull crap. Ask Amy is WRONG.

If you want to tell your niece you’re upset that you didn’t get a thank you note, TELL HER. DO NOT MAKE UP STORIES TO AVOID SAYING WHAT YOU MEAN. Jeez. [/quote]

That example wording may be bit over the top, since OP knows the check was probably deposited (but it could have been stolen!) but it's an opportunity for the misbehaving person to safe face without direct embarrassment.
