Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Every case is different, but in my experience, many in the generation of about age 20 to 40 do not say thank you and do not appreciate gifts. They expect then and know they deserve them, but do not feel obliged to say thank you unless it is immediate and in person and their mother is present.... and even then it is half-hearted.
I continue to give gifts because if you turn off the tap due to a lack of courtesy and gratitude , you are the bad guy. So, fork out the money and bite your lip.
Of course there are exceptions and those young folks are to be commended.
Really? You don’t stop giving gifts because otherwise you are the bad guy?
