    I would definitely call them and ask them, that way...they can't really get out of answering. That is ungrateful and rude for a grown daughter on any grown person not to say thank you...no matter how they feel about. You thought about them enough to take time out and shop for him...they can't take time to pick up the phone and dial a few number to say thank you!!! I'm sorry...I wish you luck.

    Not sure I asked my older sister what she would like for chriestmas she said a digital photo frame so what did i do went out and bought her a $150 digital photo frame. and i got no thankyou at all. One day ill tell her how i feel. it makes me so angry when people expect so much and give nothing back all i can say is next christmas she is getting something small.

    people who expect everything deserve nothing.

    take care when you figure out how to tell her let me know. im not going to give you any advice because the way i would say it would be harsh..

Maybe one day they will send you a card tahnking you and maybe not

    Answer to your first question: I think she has no manners.

    Answer to your second question: Absolutely nothing. If I didn't teach her good manners when she was little, I won't be able to teach her as an adult...too late for that now, don't you think?

    Fly in circles around the earth very very fast so you go back in time. Then, raise her better.

    Don't take it out on the kid, but don't help her out as much!

    That was rude!
