I have given my niece and nephew £25 each, I have received nothing for my daughter from their parents not even a card(not my nieces and nephews fault) my husband might be made redundant in the new year and they know this. Am I expecting to much? I know we don’t give to receive but would you be a bit miffed?

Very rude of them.

I would be disappointed that a member of my family couldn’t be arsed to even get a card.

I think going forwards you should stop giving your neice and nephew anything. It might not be their fault but it’s inappropriate to give unequally within family.

Yep, rude of the parents. I’d not change how you behave in future because of it tho. It’s not the kids’ fault

Yanbu. Don't bother next year.

Yes rude, did you get a thank you for your kind gift?

Do you usually exchange gifts?

We always do thank you cards but just haven’t t got round to them yet as been so hectic. Might that be the case for them?

Yes we normally exchange gifts. No thank you, not even a text, the cheques have gone out of our account today.
