Background info - massive family argument so I fell out with my Dads side of the family.

Me being me has carried on sending presents & cards for birthdays.

Recently it was my dad's birthday & sisters birthday so I sent them presents
Dad got a hmv voucher for £15
Sister got newlook voucher for £10

Neither have text to say thanks or anything

WIBU to not bother sending anything agin

It's very rude not to get a thank you, regardless of the circumstances.

If it were me, I'd continue to send cards but probably not the presents/vouchers.

If you continue to send cards then I think it shows you'd like to keep the dialogue and relationship going and it's up to them to act on it.

Had a birthday card that arrived 5 weeks late

Send the cards still, only if you want to, but it's very rude not to thank someone for a present so I don't think they're deserving of any more!

YWNBU not to send any more, providing it doesn't make you more upset than sending them and receiving no acknowledgement would.

I would send cards but no presents.

I stop sending my Great Neices' money at Christmas because I never heard from their parents. Nephew was on my Facebook, too. Never a word. YANBU.

YANBU

I stopped getting thank yous from my nieces and nephews, for the cash/vouchers in cards when they were teens.

I totally wish I'd had the balls to stop sending TBH. I didn't want a four page letter, a text/inbox on facebook would have been plenty.

YANBU. Very rude of them not to say thank you. Send cards if you want to but I'd stop with the gifts for now.

I would stop too tbh.
