not sending another cheque

My dad gave cheques for Christmas, hes not well so can't go out shopping and doesn't do internet banking etc. He has 4 grandchildren 2 live away and are 15 and 13 and are my half brothers children, I have 2 sons we live about an hour away.

My dad sent theirs before Christmas and my brother sent a text saying "got cards" and that was it no thank you and the value was £150 each, so he was a bit put out by this but didn't really let it get to him.

My brother has text this morning saying "could you please send (name) another cheque please she went out on New years eve and lost her bag and cheque was in it" (shes 15)

Now dad will probably send another because he wont want her feeling left out or whatever but I said well tbh if it was me I wouldn't bother because she had loads of time to bank it anyway and if not you put it in a drawer or cupboard (I do anyway) for safe keeping. I paid my sons in between Christmas and New year she had hers about 2 weeks before Christmas.

Do you think I'm being unfair? just want to know what others think but she seems ungrateful to me.

why does he need to stop the cheque?They are all crossed nowadays. Does he not trust his GD not to cash the original?

I wouldn't replace cheque until GD calls herself and firstly says thanks and then apologises for her stupidity in losing and not banking cheque.

She's 15 not 8, perfectly capable of getting to a bank unless she lives in some distant Shetland isle. Esp. Given the fact it sounds as though she was out getting pissed at NYE, after all you wouldn't lose a bag at some family friendly party.
