AIBU ? Friend's son (have known since birth)married recently abroad . Have not met the bride . They live where they were married .Sent some money as a wedding present , inside a card, out with his parents- so I know it was received . Friend is aware (and is mortified) the couple hasn't thanked me (they haven't thanked family members either). She has asked for, and passed on, my email address . I have assured her it is not important as I do not want her to be upset. And in the Great Scheme of Life, it is , of course, not that important.
Couple had a baby about 6 weeks after the wedding . I have sent a card . I would normally send a gift -and I know one does not give gifts in order to be thanked . I might add neither was working in the run-up to the birth. Is it unreasonable to wait to be thanked for the wedding present before I buy the baby anything ? They will probably come over to UK in the autumn so I might naturally have waited 'til then anyway . I would be furious if one of my DCs did this , as I think it is rude. But am I being hopelessly old fashioned ?
