Re: Thank you notes

“ no one does them anymore” is a cop-out. Being polite and thanking someone for a gift never goes out of style.

I think thank-you notes are presumed to be for gifts that are mailed or opened at a party, shower, etc.

You tried. It's time to turn the page and truly let it go. That being said, I am on your side with this issue. I think it's rude to not acknowledge a gift, whether by text, phone call, written note, email. Something. I taught my kids that if someone gives you a gift it means that they took their money ( that they worked for), their time and effort to give you something. It deserves acknowledgement and gratitude. Even a one liner...but something. They have passed this on to their little ones.

Long story short....my son got his girlfriend pregnant before we even knew she existed. They got married and I threw a baby shower for her. Lots of my family and friends came to support me and my son, only meeting her for the first and only time at the shower, and bought nice gifts. It is now 2 months later, the baby is born, and there have been no thank you notes sent out. I have told my son numerous times to get on it and get them sent. I even gave her thank you notes and all the shower guests addressed their own cards to simplify matters for her. He has talked to her about it at least twice, if not 3 times. Should I say something to her myself? And how can I put it nicely without making her feel like I am criticizing her?
