[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew's 1st birthday was a couple of months ago, I sent a cute card with a message and had my kids sign it, along with a toy. (We live in different parts of the country so it's all done by mail). My DD's birthday was a couple months later. My sister sent a gift a month late, directly from the company, not wrapped, no card with any type of personal message, I guessed it was from her. I contacted her asking if she sent it so I could thank her and it was indeed from her.

It kind of seems like she felt obligated to send a gift because I had sent one to her child. My kids are older than hers and this is the first time she's ever sent a birthday gift. She always calls or emails on their birthdays, so I know she remembers and cares. But the gift just seemed insincere. Would you have felt this way? [/quote]

OP, did she call or email on your kid's birthday this year? If no, maybe she sent the gift to make up for forgetting. If she did call or email, AND she sent a gift, well that's two nice things she did.
