Dd's birthday party was today and after she opened up the gifts (after the party at home), it seems there's one unaccounted for. I'm sure the child would have brought a gift but I can't find it. What should I do?

- Do you know the parents well enough to ask - if they gave one it will be rude if you don't send a thank you but yet you can't send a thank you without knowing what they gave you!

  - I've had parents e-mail me to ask what we gave their dc (tags and cards fall off sometimes). No big deal.

- I did this (assumed it had gone astray and sent TQ note) and it turned out the mom forgot (did not bother) to send a gift with her kid for the party. And she was really mad at me.

I live well below my means. It feels good and I don't have to worry if I get laid off or can never work again.
