Just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this after they left the UK to come live in Australia…….
I've always seen a lot of my family since i was born, they consist of my Aunty,Uncle and 5 cousins plus my Mum and Step Dad.
Not the biggest English family but we have always had Christmas and Birthdays together plus a Sunday roast here and there or a summer BBQ when the weather was good.
Anyway to cut a long story short since i have come to Melbourne, which was 15 months ago, they have stopped giving me Birthday or Xmas gifts!
I get a card which is always way late but nothing else…..I have always had a small gift or something from them my whole life but its abruptly stopped.
No warning or explanation either!
It's not so much i am missing 'having a gift', it's more that i feel they have just forgotten about me.Not sending anything just because Australia is far away is so lazy i think, i've continued to make sure my mum and step dad get gifts on Birthdays,Xmas and mothers day etc
Sometimes they don't even contact me to let me know they have received a gift from me!
It's enough to make me never want to go back……...
