They are all adults now, could easily send me an email, text or phone thanks, but nothing. I'm done. The only way I even know they got the gift is that they signed the back of the check and cashed it. I'd rather give that money to a total stranger who needs and appreciates it.
Wow. That was as liberating as throwing away a card. |
I don't blame you one bit / / its always been my policy to stop giving gifts to the nieces and nephews once they turn 18. The youngest of the kids are not 21 and I don't feel one bit sad or guilty about it either. My Christmas list now consist of my DH, DS, DD, her BF and #1 very special great niece Stella who it 2 and I always always set a limit to spending.
