ffs grandma...

Apparently last night my grandmother called my mom to complain that I still haven't sent her a thank you card for the $20 she gave me as a wedding present. I sent her the first thank you card when she sent me my check back in April last year, then sent her a second one when she complained to mom that "I haven't received a thank you from Kristi for her wedding money or the jewelry I gave her when I was cleaning out the house" so I sent her a second one.
I am now sending her a third freaking card. Why do I have to be related to this woman?

Yes I'm being a post ho today.

Perhaps you should send a monthly thank you card?  Just in case?

That might work....

It doesn't help that she only ever calls mom to criticize her about something. At least this time she didn't leave my mom in tears.

My grandma forgot about her invitation, but she's also becoming increasingly forgetful.

I had a client once who would forget she already called me to tell me something.  She would call like 10 times in one day.  She was in her 90s.  My coworker told me to just hang up on her, cause she wouldn't remember anyway.  It made me laugh, but I would never do that.  I also never told her that I had already talked to her and that I had already answered all her questions.  It just seemed mean.

Send the thank you with a return receipt.  That way you can prove she got it!

Lol lucky. I'm sure she would say I forged it or something.

Last year she complained that I didn't send her a thank you for a gift I never got. I received no card, no nothing. Turned out she sent one of my cousins both her and my gifts ( glass statues of cats she was getting rid of).

Sounds like your granny is just getting forgetful and old. Its a sad thing really, maybe she needs help?

If it were me I would send her one of those GIANT cards (I think they are like 11 x 18) so there is no way she could miss it. But I'm totally evil and would beyond annoyed the third time around.

The THIRD TY for the same gift?

At this point I'd start having fun with it.

Perhaps you can cut out some pictures to add them to the note.  Instead of signing it, C&P a photo of your face from your wedding.

Does your mom know you sent it?  If so, she should really be reminding your grandma that you sent one already & that grandma received it. 

I mean, I get it that she's forgetting, but maybe you all could encourage her to start a list for things like this, and then check it off when she gets the TY?

And in all seriousness, is it possible that this is a sign of a larger issue with Grandma?
