[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can not stand women who expect gifts and thank you cards. It really kills the whole purpose behind both things. [/quote] This is my mom. It’s exhausting. She has polled me about which relatives have sent gifts to my children for the holidays. Like asked me multiple times if relatives A and B have sent anything. All the while saying “oh, it didn’t matter” but clearly it matters to her. Then she continues to “coach” me on the acceptable ways to have the kids thank people for gifts. I’ll be 40 in a few months. My kids always thank people who give them gifts, but since my mom doesn’t actually witness it she assumes it doesn’t happen and she has to manage it. It’s exhausting and I dread gift giving season because of the constant questions surrounding the gifts. I’d really rather not have the crap anyway. [/quote]
