Does anyone else write Thank You cards anymore?

It makes her happy to get a card from you. Get the thank you card that already have a pre-written message in it so all you have to do is sign your name. Also if you don't like what she gives you put it all in a box and when she comes over decorate you home with the stuff. It will make her happy to see it all. That's what I do.

Everyone used to, but no one does anymore. The holidays have become such a chore now-a-days that people want nothing to do with it after it's all over and gifts have been unwrapped. We do all our holiday card filling out and sending, dealing with traffic on the way to the mall, crowds at the mall, that smarta$$ cashier that would rather be anywhere but where they are at the time, more traffic on the way home, gift wrapping, packing and shipping gifts to family members afar, etc., etc.... After it's all said and done, we don't want to see another holiday related item until next year and then we do it all over again. It's like holiday overload. BTW, do any of you watch 'A Christmas Story' each year and wonder how it could have ever been that simple? It's really seems surreal to me now, but I can actually recall a time in life when it was that simple (and no, I'm not 80 years old, actually 34). How could we have strayed this far off of that course of simplicity? I ofter wonder. You might ask if I send thank you cards and to that, shamefully, I'd have to answer no, I do not but I think I will stat this year since it's really not too late and seems like a real nice gesture to those that went through the traffic, the crowds, the store BS, the traffic, the wrapping, blah, blah, blah.

I think it is rude to not send thank you cards. Especially now a days when couples expect so much in the way of a gift. Some of the gifts on registries are getting really expensive. I am not happy if I do not recieve a thank you note. It is really not that hard to buy some pretty paper and write personalised notes to each guest, no matter if you had 10 guests or 300. Writing 10 each a night, would soon get through however many hundred guests you had. It is just poor manners, bad upbringing and selfishness and lazyness in my opinion.

You should explain that you love her very much and you are happy she is your mom, But there might be a few things you and her should sit down and talk about, 1st tell her you love getting gifts from her but maybe you could give her a list of items you would love to have, and tell her in away like this hey mom i made you a list of things that will help me out in my life things maybe you could use around the house, tell her this way she will have some kind of idea of the things you could use or want, as far as the thank you letters if you only write one person thank you letter take five min and write your mom a thank you nate she just wants to know you care and are grateful, she loves you and you only get one mom and when she is gone she is gone trust me i am 37 and both my mom and dad are gone. so suck it it tell your mom thank you for everything she does, Good luck

It is still polite to write thank you cards . I would go ahead and write the thank you card saying, "Thank you for the unique tie." If you did not like the tie then don't say that you did.

No matter how you feel about practicing proper etiquette do it anyway. Another good time to write a thank you card is after a job interview.

They do have their place in this world and it would serve you well to learn how to use them and other etiquette points.

Keep your attitude to yourself.

it obviously means a lot to her that you acknowledge her gift and thank her in this way.

Suggestion 1: make up some thank you cards in advance and then you have them wen u need em. I make my thankyou cards by taking nice photos with my digital camera n use the pc to edit them and add a littlt note. this way people know u r really appreciative as you have taken the time to personalize the thankyou!

Suggestion 2: tell her that you are respecting the enviroment and cutting down on the amount of paper and resources you use. lol.

seriously tho, she's your mum, keep her happy

Does she send you a thank you card when you give her a gift?

She is being rude to you -- parents don't expect thank you cards from their kids, especially for birthday and Christmas gifts. She needs to get off her high-horse -- she's being all uppity over nothing, and showing her own lack of knowledge of etiquette by ragging on you about it...

If I were you, I would just say -- I'm not going to write thank you cards to you, and if you no longer wish to give me gifts because of that, I will understand.

For people outside your family, or for grandparents, aged aunts, etc., yes, a thank you card might be in order...but a mom... come ON -- I would never expect my kids to write me a thank you note for anything I give them.

I know your feeling,but In my opinion,you should write these damn Thank YOu cards.It can make thing so easy both you and her. The reason you feel boring is not about the cards is because you do not want to write them.

I have to say - even though it is quite annoying to you that your mom keeps bugging you to do it - I would find a man that writes thank you notes to be quite sexy... and a rare find for any woman. Your momma is just trying to raise you right!!! By the way - I'll be expecting a thank you note for this advice....

My wife always sends thank you card's, she say's she does it not only to say thank's but also let's the person know that you recieved the gift.
