I was teaching my daughter
Further enquiries show that she has never seen any card in her life.
1. she is YOUR daughter
2. if she has never received a christmas card, birthday card or taught to get her parent a mother/fathers day card... guess what, thats YOUR fault
kids are not independant, its the parent that gives them cards and teaches them to give others cards. so the onus was on you to give her birthday and christmas cards
for her to have never received a birthday or christmas card says more about you personally, not culture in general... in short.. give her a birthday card and christmas card on those special days
Thank @franky1 for this great advice. You have just taught me an important lesson. I accept that it is my fault that she doesn't know what a card is because it is not commonly used in my house. These days people pay more attention to taking birthday pictures and sharing them with friends and families through diverse social media platforms. But I don't have to follow the trend because I cherish cards. We have decided in our home to always give cards to any of our friends or family members during Christmas or other celebrations. At least this could help my children grow up with this tradition.
