What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

Can a mother forget her child after she puts him or her up for adoption?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Trump is forcing this dirty, costly coal plant to stay open - The Washington Post

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
