I don't think people are insinuating that she should get over it in the respect to accepting that it's "the way things are" per sey, but more along the lines of you cant squeeze blood out of a turnip. You can choose to give something, and the receive can choose not to say thank you. Short of forcing them, there is nothing you can do for the most part.
At that point, you can choose to not give to them again but odds are, they won't have any clue why.
Im not saying it's right, but I also think that once we give a gift, it's out of our hands. What I've done on occasion, is to call and say "did you get..." and hopefully they express appreciation.

why should the giver be respectful and have manners if the receiver does not have to do the same?
I say quit giving. If they can not say Thank you and send the pix, then they get nothing!
I am tired of giving and never getting. A simple thank you is not asking for visitation rights!
