Dear Care and Feeding: Is it too much to expect a quick thank you?
My fiancé passed away late last year, leaving behind two adult children and several grandchildren, all of whom live out of state. My fiancé regularly sent his grandchildren Christmas presents, and cash gifts on each grandchild’s birthday.
It leaves me feeling uncared for and unappreciated . So I understand, on a deep gut-level, why you’re unhappy: repeatedly bestowing gifts and not being thanked for them is a drag. But you have been giving these gifts for a specific reason—to honor the memory of the man you loved, to keep up a tradition that meant a great deal to him, to do what you say you believe, whether his grandchildren send thank-you notes or not.You don’t mention whether they thanked him when he sent gifts .
