Older grandchildren who never say Thank Your for Christmas or Birthday cheques
Watch this postI have six grandchildren who no longer live at home with their parents and I very rarely receive a Thank You. It is so easy these days. They could easily pick up the telephone or send an email. I feel like just sending a card.
Do other grandparents always receive a Thank You?

Nurturing a safe environment
Our Silversurfers community is designed to foster friendships, based on trust, honesty, integrity and loyalty and is underpinned by these values.
We don't tolerate swearing, and reserve the right to remove any posts which we feel may offend others... let's keep it friendly!
Gifts to the parents which are handed over personally get thanked for, money however sent in cards is never acknowledged until we ask if they have received it, then we get a begrudged 'yes thanks'
We have been told we should be on 'snap chat' whatever that is as it is easier! We have an email address and a landline what's the problem? Other than bad manners of course.
If my Children or Grandchildren couldn't be bothered to at least say a simple thankyou, I certainly wouldn't bother sending or giving them anything else. (my Grandchildren are a bit young to even acknowledge as yet though. 🙂
Regards
Steve
