You've got to talk about this
Quote From: arizonamom2My 18-year old daughter was the most giving, thoughtful and sweet child growing up. This changed after she started high school. This year, she did not give anyone in the family (her dad, brother, myself) a gift, not even a card. She is employed at a good job and lives at home, so her personal expenses are not an issue. Before Christmas she talked about the gifts she wanted to get everyone, but then there was nothing. This needs to be discussed with her - any tips on how to begin?
I urge you to speak with her ASAP. Approach her in a gentle manner; don't be angry or on the 'attack,' because that will only create a defensive response in her. Just ask her, "why didn't you buy for your family?" and wait for her answer. Then let her know you 'understand' her reason, but that she still should have done something...
