AIBU to thinking when neices/nephews get to 19 you just send cards for birthdays and stop presents? In my family when the cousins reached their 18th birthday they were given a really lovely present then cards only from 19 only so I presumed this was normal. My neice is distraught as we didn't send her anything her this year. I honestly thought she wouldn't expect anything - she is now an adult and doesn't live at home. However I will always do Xmas presents. We are not close and hubby and his sis rarely speak. In 10 years we have probably seen them twice. Unfortunately my FIL will not have us at Christmas anymore as we are cold hearted and callous. Every auntie and cousin on has been on phone tonight telling me how upset my niece is. Because this is how it works in my family I presumed this is normal but doesn't seem it.
