Jinx! We sent that example at the same time!

My aunt told my mom that she would only send my kids a Christmas gift if I sent her a Christmas card (I'm not at a point in my life where I'm doing Christmas cards en masse, and I'm not really all that close to many people in my family due to age difference and geography). My aunt is fairly well off and would have probably sent my children very expensive gifts. She did NOT get a Christmas card - and no, my kids didn't get gifts from her. I hate when people determine that generosity should have stipulations.

1) Define "pissed off"...does that mean not send the RIF? Then, yes you're right, that's dumb. Is "disappointed" ok? I'm sorry, but if I'm going out of my way to do something nice and somewhat time consuming for someone (particularly if you're asking me to do it and I didn't volunteer to do it) and you don't bother to thank me for my time, then yes...I'm disappointed. If that's also defined as "pissed off" then so be it.
2) Your aunt reminds me of a cousin...she told my sister that if she didn't get a HS graduation announcement, she wouldn't be sending a gift. Stoopid reasoning. My sister doesn't even order grad announcements because it looks like you're fishing for a gift.
