WhiteRoseKillie Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 How does that work?Just pauses the cycle and unlocks the door. Only works when the water level is low, but that covers quite a percentage of the time with these newer machines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all well into their 20’s now, but I still feel the need to remind them to say thank you. It’s mental. The whole point of getting wee weans to make 'thank you' cards for their grannies/aunties - balls-achingly tedious as it is at the time - is that they learn to show a bit of appreciation for gifts. Looks like you fucked up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s to make you feel better about yourself. Saying thank you in person is far more sincere and less contrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone lives in Falkirk, indeed not even Rugster lives in Falkirk. A card for a gift is as much a waste of time and paper as other greetings cards tbh. A text, a photo or a video is much easier and more personal. Thank you letters are a nonsense and thankfully dying a death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My three get b'day/xmas cards from their Scotch aunties with a regular £20 put in their bank accounts and they always respond with a simple 'thank you' these days. Hence Facebook messages back to me such as, "Oh hi - I sent a xmas/b'day gift to Winston/Victoria/Sir Edward and was nice to get a message from him/her saying how well they are doing at Uni and that they chundered three times in the loos at the student union. I hope they do better next term". Little billet doux oil the wheels of family life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 My mum's uncle is 94 and still gives me and the wife a tenner each at Xmas. We always give him a phone to say thanks, it's not hard to pick up the phone. It's the way I was brought up . He struggles to read nowadays, so he appreciates the phone call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 yours are all adults though right? That's fine and the minimum expected - I'm meaning what I've heard in my own family of older ones threatening not to send a gift for a wee kid's birthday because they never got a thank you note, despite kenning fine that whatever note they get doesn't have a word of sincere thanks, because wee kids don't understand the concept yet. It nips me that people in their 50s, 60s and 70s can be so mean that they think that's a reasonable thing to do. As I said before it drove me even madder when one of them was saying it in anticipation of not getting a thank you.Anyone that expects a thank you note of some sort (old school or electronic), or is pissed off at not getting one is clearly a bell-end.But the process of reminding your kids to make the effort to show gratitude is an important one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your normal society? Among normal people the grannies and aunties send gifts and get a wee note (physical or electronic) back in return - because the weans have crayoned 'thank you' notes since they were wee - and it's dead easy. Your world is not one I would want to live in. Edited December 28, 2020 by The_Kincardine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I'm off for an extended time I end up losing my remaining sanity points watching some dumb anime like Evangelion or getting into an obnoxious video game series like Kingdom Hearts. Lockdown has been a disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
