      Did they say thank you at the events and afterwards??

      If so, what does card that says thank you matter?

            If that’s all I had to complain about today I’d sit down and be thankful!

                It’s basically the new way of being entitled.
                My grandson bought a new to him .45 but couldn’t find (or couldn’t afford) any ammo, so, being me, I sent him a box of 100.
                Wouldn’t even know he got them if he hadn’t signed for them.
                But guess what…….

                  Another sign of the times. I sent everyone who came to my graduation a thank you regardless of whether or not they gave me anything. I was born 50 years too late though.

                      I'm hoping my Grandkids are being raised different. Times are changing for sure.

                        Sadly (IMO) those ways are dying. When I was a kid my mother would not let me go out and play after Christmas and birthdays until I’d hand written a thank you note for every gift. I hated it and the importance of it didn’t sink in for many years. My wife was raised the same way and we did the same thing with our boys. I still do it but don’t expect it from others anymore and haven’t in a long time. It used to be common manners like tipping your hat or standing for ladies but it is now a relic of another time. I’m not going to get worked up over it. Not a big deal I guess but I believe manners are an important building block of civil society

                          In today's world, if you get a "thanks" at the wedding, don't be surprised that you don't get a "note". Face -to-face thank-you means more than a card, plus it cost the receiver money for cards and postage. And a "hug" at the next meeting means they are appreciative.

                            Does the note go to yourself? Or…..

                              But what if they are gifted by their boss or someone else who is influential in their success? . .
