We have a bit of a strained relationship with my bil and sil, due to them being generally twattish. However, I have never once missed a bday or other occasion for them. They always get a bday present and card, Xmas presents, anniversary card, and they have 2 dds who always get presents too. I put a lot of effort in trying to get the right gift (for everyone in my family, not them particularly) but we rarely get a word of thanks and the gifts are never reciprocated. It was dh's bday this week and he didn't even get a text from his brother.
To top it all off, they were due to get their dds christened next weekend and we did them a plate at one of those ceramic places with their names on and the date of the christening. They text last night to say it is off, no explanation given, so plate is now redundant. would it be unreasonable to stop buying them gifts, or just to buy for their dds? Nd what would you do with the plate?
