hun i think the mail service was fine,no do not send money,call him see what is wrong and why he dosent respond to say thank you for all your generosity,was their a fight or os he holding a grudge dont send no more if he dosent acknowledge anything it means he cant be bothered getting back to you,a phonecall is best then you will know good luck

A card saying, “All future gifts will be coming directly from Guy’s Freaking Nothing Store, enjoy!” will say it all.

Well I would have call him up to find out.Don’t tell him exactly what it was you sent him but ask (did you receive my gift i send you) and from there i’m sure you will know if he’s lying or not.

But i wouldn’t send ant if they don’t have the heart to call and say thanks.

Take care.and all the best for the holidays.

They will just think you’re psycho and they will be glad they never acknowledged your gifts. I would not send a card as they obviously have no investment or interest in you … and I say good riddance, their loss.

It’s a generational thing. I talk to many of my older family members and they are always hurt how the younger generation members never tell them if they got something and don’t try to call unless they want something. You can attempt to explain how you feel but I doubt it will do any good because they weren’t raised to thank, just to take take take. Go ahead and still send a card and gift with a note that contains your phone number and a wish that he would call to let you know that he received it.

IGNORE… we have given gifts for my husbands children over & over ( all adults with famly) they never acknowledged any gifts, We would have to call to see it they received it and they would say yes we did, thank you.
But ever time we are at their homes they are ALWAYS showing us things that Mom got them, no sign of what we have purchased thm. The gifts we give are not cheap, even gave gift cards to their favorite rest. (enought for 2 or 3 dinners) but they never said thank you to us for anything usless we ask if they got it. So we have decided this year NO GIFTS.
When kids (adults) get to the point that they expect gifts rather than appreciate them it is time to stop.
Oh, by the way we have not receoved a Christmas present the whole 5 yrs that we have been married, they never even get their Dad a Father’s Day gift or birthday card. Shameful I think…… they continue to gift to their Mom and she was the one that left the family for another man and they was very upset with her at the time but that has all changed. Because she loves to party and buy expensive gifts that she can’r afford. So we have decided to let her give the gifts and we will just stand back and let them get the gifts from her and we will be around when they need someone.
