    Default Is it okay to ask for a thank you?

    When I get someone a gift-many times I don’t get a thank you. My friend said as an adult it’s your right to ask them to thank you. Something along the lines of.. “Hey I was wondering how you liked your gift. You like it, that’s good. So thank me for it and I will appreciate it.”

    I thought that was a little aggressive. But he said I’m an adult and I don’t have to be a baby about this. He says a man that wants to be thanked should ask to be thanked and not have to feel bad about it. He thought I was crazy for questioning it and he said I need to be a mature adult and ask everyone to thank me if that’s what I want.

    What do you think? If you are wondering why someone didn’t thank you for a gift should you tell them to thank you?

    I think asking for a thank you would devalue the gift as it makes it look you you only got the gift for a thank you.

    Who was the gift for?

    You obviously know that's where it got awkward and out of line

    You got to give the gift with the intention to please God and expect nothing in return from people.

    I'm not involved in the board politics. I don't know who is feuding with who. I just take everyone as I find them, and post abuse at people without knowing which faction they belong to.

    Bellend.

    I am very old school , and expect a thank you.
    If I give something , and the person doesn't thank me , it is the last time they will receive something from me,

    Why should I bust my ass for a homer , that is punking me !!!

    I can guarantee my step kids have done this to me , lack of respect , and I just wrote them right OUT of the will.
    They think they are better than me - **** them.

    Didn't you make this thread before?

    Maybe your gift sucked. I never say thanks if I didn't like the gift. Step up your gifting game
