Talk to Amy: Are my gifts to these youthful men and women out of line?

Dear Amy: I am starting to feel that I’m in violation of some unwritten social code with regard to present offering.

Just after a really acrimonious divorce, we knowledgeable the regular “siding off” of our mutual acquaintances.

This is easy to understand, as divorce puts buddies in awkward positions.

In any case, I have continued to ship presents as young children of “our” buddies marry, in spite of not staying an invited guest. These items are not being acknowledged.

I’m seeking to determine out if I just strike a streak of ungrateful young folks or if my supplying is so grossly out of area that it is just staying ignored. Any steering is truly appreciated.
