I know exactly what you mean! We just received a high school graduation announcement and college graduation announcement in the last week for children of distant relatives we haven't heard from in years. But yeah, sure, we'd love to send your kid some money, thanks for thinking of us.
The topper, though, was the wedding invitation from relatives who have consistently ignored Christmas cards and other "big event" news from us (including our wedding), but we recently "reconnected" with them at a FUNERAL. And now they invite us to one of their kids' weddings (who we wouldn't know if we fell over her) halfway across the country? Again, gee, thanks for the thoughtful gesture...
