If my kids complain about it I always explain that they were happy enough to receive the present, and that's that! I also make a list as they unwrap so we avoid the 'I can't remember' problem (so the ungrateful mother you mention at the start of the post is falling short on that too!!!). In the past I have stopped buying for a relative, who NEVER said, or wrote, or even texted to say thank you. I was cross with her parents of course really! #PinItPartyAHappyHealthyMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332695869989426779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2878260668698530448.post-87793283554840135512015-01-19T12:38:50.353+01:002015-01-19T12:38:50.353+01:00My children write thank you letters, well this yea...My children write thank you letters, well this year I made the cards, BB wrote the message and all three children signed their names, that's as much as they are capable of at the moment. Children should learn to respect things and be grateful that someone has made an effort to think of them and give them something, so it is polite to thank them back.

As my kids are small, I write them, but everyone gets them and I must admit, it annoys me when I hear nothing from people we've sent gifts, too, not even a text, let alone a letter. My daughter is now starting to write, so she'll be writing her own from next Christmas.

There is nothing so pleasurable as receiving a 'real' letter in the post, and the very least we can do is afford someone that pleasure after they've taken the time to choose and send a gift. <br /><br />On Christmas morning this year I was scribe. I wrote down everything that was received from outside of the immediate household. My eldest did thankyous on the phone on the 25th and 26th, and we've followed those up with a card (eldest) and picture (youngest) since. I can't say the kids have rushed to the table to write them, but there's not been too much grumbling as I've only been asking for one per sit down session. I'm pleased to report that there's only one remaining to write, and that's one to my sister's children that I'll be writing myself :)Andreahttp://www.casalinho.comnoreply@blogger.com
