Woman in disbelief as she's branded 'tight' for sending £36 for 18th birthday gift

Arguably, any gift that's received from a friend or family should be accepted with gratitude, no matter how much the item may have cost. However, one woman has been branded "tight" for sending her niece and nephew around £36 for their milestone 18th birthdays despite their lack of thankfulness.

Whilst the aunt took to a popular online forum to rant about the family's lack of gratitude or even acknowledgement of the gift - a turn of events saw online users detailing the high expectations of the special birthday. Sharing her post in the "am I being unreasonable" section on forum Mumsnet, she stated that the siblings "didn't say thank you" for the cash.
