[quote=Anonymous]OP - I honestly think it is a bit mental disorder. I only say this as I have a childless aunt who never married. Years ago she decided for all her Nieces and Nephews she decided to give $2,500 a child every Xmas for their college fund.

But I know she really loves pictures of nieces and nephews on Xmas cards and such.

My BIL will take the cash and always sends cards way after   Xmas to her and never a thank you note even though it really hurts her feelings and he knows this.So my aunt after five years just sends a  card no money and he shows up in person Xmas eve looking for the money. Had balls to ask a d nice aunt gave it to him. My MIL is like look when you get her Xmas card with $7,500 in cash just write out one Xmas card back with some kids pictures on card and say thank you. He could not do it.

Then at the next Xmas he complained  so slow at work he has nothing to do a few hours a day and his aunt whispered I thought he had no time.

We finally stopped inviting his family as they hi-jack every event by showing up late, not showing up at all, RSVP for five then 1 shows up. At her wedding we sat in church till 1:30 pm for a one pm mass as she was 1/2 hour late.

I can drop folks from Xmas list but I think thus is way more deep rooted.

I do greatly enjoying sending cards to all my elderly relatives who don’t send back. I don’t expect one.

My wife’s cousin is also queen of this. We mailed her cards on Dec 1. since they are going to his side this year and we  normally exchange gifts on 12-10 mailed their kids gifts. No response. So don’t know. They are so late her mother now sends out Xmas cards with grandkids in them. They also do stuff like invite you to a birthday party day before. Or rsvp yes then change mind. My favorite they substitute themselves. They actually will give gift to someone attending for them. And one year had a joint birthday party with us without telling me. It was her kids birthday close by and had us do happy birthday song twice and she actually had  folks her side to bring gifts.

Look i get a card, mail a card or don’t mail a card. Don’t be like evite where maybe us a RSVP choice.

I guess we will never know. My mailbox will have a bunch of cards next week I open, confirm address and throw out.

I guess all you late folks now know it is hurtful and mean and makes folks seem they were not important by sending late. You continue to do it then we’ll you all have issues I can’t fix [/quote]
