Ungrateful Children: She Was Furious That Her Sister’s Children Do Not Express Gratitude For Gifts She’s Given

A woman is wondering if she is overreacting when her nieces and nephews did not show appreciation for the gifts she’s given.

Gratitude is an important aspect of receiving gifts, but what happens when the gift recipients fail to express it? In this case, an aunt is calling out her siblings for not having their children write thank you notes.

“I recently sent $1,500 to my sister (f45) so that her daughter (f14) could go on a class trip to Washington DC and New York. I also sent her daughter a new set of Glossier makeup. I had also sent my older brother (m53) and his sons (m17, m18) $300 Tiffany pens for their graduation.”

Lack of Thank You Notes

She notes that it’s been a few weeks since she’s given money for her niece’s trip. “It’s been six weeks, and have not received a thank you note/text.”

She also said of her nephews, “I also didn’t get a thank you note/text.”

She Asked Her Sibling Why
