I think what I need to do is accept that my sibling relationships are just going to be unsatisfying. Nothing I do will change it, because they are not going to change magically into people I like (or who like me). So I am going to just back away for a while.
So do I quit giving gifts to them? To my nieces and nephew? I NEVER get a thank you, not via phone, text, email or god-forbid an actual hand written note. And if gifts are the only contact you have with a person, why bother? Should I send a card? No card? Nothing at all? It feels mean to send nothing at all or just a card. But I absolutely dread having to shop for these people. I suppose that means I should just send a card. :-(
