Hah! My 13yo tells me (in all seriousness) that he is not really 13, but an adult. I am continually reminded that he's only an adult in talk and not action.
It is exhausting to be on their backs all the time!! Good luck!

You are a good mom to keep after him to write thank you's. I am a little irritated that I haven't received one from someone I sent a lot of cash to, I guess they were not taught what is good manners.

Because my most wonderful, precious, smart, blah, blah, blah son won't finish his thank you notes for grad gifts! And I'm kidding, I'm not really writing apology notes. I will stay on his ass until he gets them done. But dayum, he's wearing me out on this! I know it's a pain in the butt, but I will prevail! LOL Was/Is this an issue for anyone else? I understand your pain. My son graduated late May and still hasn't done his thank you notes yet! I keep harping on him too, but it doesn't seem to bother him. I have held strong and he hasn't been able to spend any of the money that he received, so at least there's that. He just got around to endorsing all his checks and my husband took them in to deposit (he works at our credit union). It will happen, though! |

An email does not count, posting on FB does not count, telling the person on the phone does not count, in person is fine most of the time, but for major life events, yes a card is in order, even if you did thank them in person.
There comes a point where you do stop. And when they wonder or ask why "so and so" has not sent a gift or a card I ask, have you ever sent a "thank-you" for their last gift?
