I got someone a gift..but they never said "Thank You"…?On 03.11.10, In article
My boyfriend’s (of 10 months) sister has a new baby and I bought her a basket full of baby items. I picked out the basket myself and I bought everything separate to add to it. It took me a lot of time to do this..I was at the store for 45 minutes finding "perfect" items [...] Leave a Comment4 Responses to “I got someone a gift..but they never said "Thank You"…?”Leave a Reply |

It is possible that your boyfriend didn’t convey the exact thank you that his sister asked him to do but putting that aside proper rules of etiquette call for a personal thank you from her preferably in a hand written note. Maybe you think you are over reacting but you are not . You just are aware of what good manners consist of.
That was an error of etiquette, but definitely not an invasion for rudeness. Try to console yourself by remembering that your boyfriend’s sister is now way too busy for a decent night’s rest. The guilt will surely seep into her subconscious and plague her the rest of her life.
It could go both ways here. Depending on how old the sister is, she could be a little immature. She probably did tell her brother to tell you thank you, because she probably thinks that it would be appropriate. I wouldn’t jump the gun as far as being mad at her. I do agree you deserve a personal thank you, but if you haven’t seen her she may just tell you herself when she does. She could be overwhelmed with the new baby and may not have given it as much thought as you did. I personally wouldn’t buy her anything else until after I got a chance to see her face to face. Once you see her if she doesn’t offer you a thank you with a brief explanation then you know she doesn’t appreciate anything. If she does, then you’ll know that she did appreciate it but just isn’t aware of how to thank people properly! Once that happens you’ll know what to expect if you decide to purchase any future gifts! What ever her reaction, it’s not worth holding a grudge over! Good Luck!
"thank you"s are always nice, but you shouldn’t have gone and spent all the time and money expecting a great thank you. If you have never had a baby yourself yet, you could never imagine what new moms with new babies go through. They’re tired and face challenges every day.
If you can find it in your heart to accept the fact that she likes your gift is rewarding enough, that’s great. If you want to open a relationship with your man’s sister, you should really be more understanding and not expect any grand thank yous. You can always go visit her with your boyfriend with some dinner and diapers to get to know her if that’s purely your intention.
