[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, this would drive me nuts, too. But, there is another side of the coin. My kids aunt never even acknowledges my kids.[/quote] This may have nothing to do with you, but we had to stop sending gifts to my nieces even though we followed with what they wanted because my sister turned every gift for our kids into an a month of crazy worse than what the OP describes. Her justification was she had to reciprocate. Our nieces know we love them and they know their mother is nuts (though we'd never say anything to them...they say themselves). It is more important that they know we love them and are here for them than that they get a gift in the mail. We are close. I had aunts and uncles send us gifts who we have no relationship with and never really felt connected to beyond writing a thank you note. Being a good person and as cheesy as it sounds love is much more important than stuff. Too often stuff is just an excuse to manipulate.[/quote]
