Carolyn Hax: I can never thank you enough. No, seriously, it’s become a problem.

I can never thank you enough. No, seriously, it's become a problem.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: Whenever my mother gives me or my family member a gift, she ends up asking about it several times afterward. Does not matter if it was $5 or expensive.

We always thank her for gifts, and these comments feel like she's asking for thank-yous over and over again. Asking her about it would not be productive, so any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
