[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a bit odd but try and let it go. I do understand how your feelings might be hurt though.

I’m an older mom so I grew up with grandmother and mother who modeled thank you cards, hostess gifts, “ always arrive with something.” I know not everyone feels this way or even is aware of this ( for good or bad I suppose.) Just focus on how you want your DC to be when they are out in the world as that is more important.

I have boys as well and have consistently emphasized this idea so that they do not think it is only the “ woman” who does this.

For example, one ds was invited for a weekend and so I took him to store to do a small bag of treats and then I wrote a thank you note in advance from me thanking them hosting him for him to hand them on arrival.

Another time this summer, another ds was away with a family and upon returning home I asked for their new address to send a thank you note and Starbucks card to mom as thank you and he said “ it’s good...I bought everyone lunch to say thank you” He’s 17. My grandmother would have been so proud of him![/quote]

Same.  My sons take hostess gifts with them and write thank you notes.[/quote]
