[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have my kids do thank yous for bday party gifts as young elementary schoolers anymore. I did it with my oldest for the first couple of years when he had whole class bday parties in preschool and es. printed them out on the computer with a pic of him with the gift as he opened them at home and had him sign them then sent them into school. Then realized not a ton of people do it and happily removed it from my list, especially as we moved on from whole class parties and I needed to track down addresses. I’m aware it’s not perfect etiquette and I’m ok with it. We always thank people for coming and bringing a gift as they leave. We still do thank yous for relatives and people who send things from out of town so they know a gift was received and enjoyed. [/quote]

And we don't open gifts during parties anymore - the cards and gifts get separated half of the time before the gifts are even opened. I couldn't write thank you notes for many of the gifts if I tried. [/quote]

Why not?  So many seem to dislike children and take away fun things from them.  It's so strange.[/quote]
