TimC Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 We went to some friend's kids birthday party back in the fall. She had a friend of hers diligently write down everyone's present. I'm assuming this was to send a thank you card out and not to simply find out who gives good presents. Fast forward and still no f'n card. What should I do? Note: We gave an awesome biggest pail of tinker toys that Toys R Us sold that any red-blooded American child should go crazy over. If they didn't like it, they could've returned it since I never had anything so awesome when I was growing up. I made my own tinker toys out of sticks that fell off the neighbor's tree.

The kid must have choked on one of the pieces. But thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 C'mon, the kid fed the tinkers to the dog and he went around the house pooping and puking little rainbows of colored plastic fun for the next three days. You want to be thanked for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thank you cards mean nothing to me. I would never remember if someone sent me a thank you card or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge007 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thank you cards mean nothing to me. I would never remember if someone sent me a thank you card or not. Maybe not-but-cards should be sent. Poor parenting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Maybe not-but-cards should be sent. Poor parenting? I agree. Wouldn't say it's poor parenting unless the kid is old enough to know they're sending thank you cards. It is rude though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I think thank you cards for a kids birthday party are waaayyy overboard. I've (well, my kids) received a couple through the years but i think they are ridiculous. The crappy piece of cake and store brand ice cream are all the thanks I need.

The Irish Doggy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You're getting mighty crotchety. You should go over to their house and shake your cane at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
