Me and my LS were extremely close but she has now loved away and not so anymore.

Children same'ish ages. I always send presents and cards for children's birthday. She has done the same but past 2 years there's been nothing. We don't have a big family so not a lot to keep up with. Daughters just turned 7 this weekend, she's noticed there's nothing from aunt: she only has one, no other siblings.

Not even that assed about a present but it doesn't take a lot to send a card.

I know IABU by just annoys me that I always recongnise and gift her children a birthdays and she doesn't mine

I'm sorry but based on my own experience kids do not care. However, they do pick up on adult's attitudes.

The only time I chose to stop giving to people was when there were comments from ungrateful people who didn't like my 'practical gifts'. When they weren't giving anything themselves.
They were adults.

But I'm full of cliches. You don't give to receive and it's the thought that counts. I hate when people put no thought into it. I'd rather they didn't than buy me day
