Ahhh! Ok - so not a huge dilemma or problem but my word it infuriates me!
We all know the person within certain couples who buys the presents, cards etc therefore shouldn't you thank that person rather than the partner who is more 'silent' in the process?
It drives me crazy that I can even write the cards - yet my other half gets all the thanks and doesn't pass it on unless I ask 'did so and so like their gift/card'
Or is it just me? I love my brother dearly but he's crap at presents etc and I am fully aware that my sister in law is the thinker, purchaser and sender of all our lovely gifts. Of course I make sure I thank them both as it's a joint gift - but she's fully aware I know it's her hard work. I wouldn't just thank my brother for something she's made such a big effort in.
I'm now taking it as a bit of an intended insult when I am excluded from any thanks. Just annoys me and I wonder why I bother sometimes!

AIBU to think you should thank the person who made the effort?
