I am willing to be shot down here, am just interested in people's opinion's, perhaps I'm old fashioned.
In the past month, I have bought 1st birthday presents for 5 children, and attended all their parties where by you never get to see them open the presents, you just leave them behind.
Anyway, I have received, to date, 1 written thank you, 2 text message thank you's (round robin ones at that, not personal ones) and have had nothing at all from 3. Not even an acknowledgement that a present was given.
I just feel a bit like no one really appreciates presents anymore in the throw away society we live in. I'd just like a little thank you note really, a text is a bit impersonal, but to have had nothing back whatsoever from 3 has got my goat I must admit.
Am I being unreasonable? Or is it just good manners?!

AIBU?
to expect more than a text message as a thank you?
