[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe your neighbor simply wasn't taught as a child to send thank you notes and hasn't gleaned as an adult that this is something most do.  Believe it or not, not everyone was raised the same way. [/quote] I wasn't raised this way either, and yet around the age of 10 started to realize this is something I should do and now at age 39 I am pretty good about sending thank you notes. My mom recently mentioned that I am the only one of my siblings who acknowledges gifts at all. I told her to stop sending them.[/quote]

I am the poster you quoted and I too wasn't raised to send TY notes.  I didn't get it until I was in my 20's (so much older than 10).  And then got much better about it.  Many of my siblings still don't write notes (the boys mostly), but fortunately their wives all do, so that is their saving grace. Since I had to figure it out myself, I assumed others had to as well and let's face it. Not everyone is very observant and there have to be some out there that just don't get it. They think it is "nice" when they receive one, but don't understand that it is "expected" for them to send them out.
