Thankyous

[Tempotempo]

I spent a lot of time choosing presents for my nephew and niece ages 8 and 6, who we live a long way away from and don't see much. We never get a thank you from the children who get the pesents or from their parents. We had a photo from MIL with my neice wearing one of the presents, which is nice, but I feel a bit sad. AIBU?

Mine have always had to hand write thankyou notes. It was non negotiable when they were younger and now they just do it. They were all around after Christmas so wrote them then. They are 29,25 and 18!
