Adult Grandchildren ungrateful or what?

You are not being unrealistic to want a thank you or some kind of appreciation for the gift you gave them.
It’s very rude of your grandchildren to not acknowledge the gifts you are giving them!
I think it’s today’s society and lack of being appreciative when being the recipients of a gift.
What if you stopped giving your grandchildren a gift?
Would it cause great commotion in your family?

It might cause a commotion...My other son tells me that's just how his brothers kids are. And I shouldn't expect anything of them. But I shouldn't punish them because they weren't brought up right.... He wouldn't let his own kids do that. But, then his family is still together and he is in touch with his kids all the time. The grandchildren (grown) that are my problem, come from a divorced couple and for many years my son didn't have much communication with either of them.
Maybe it's just me. Why can't I give for the joy of giving to them and let it go? Right? Do I need...what? Adoration? I never thought I was THAT type! Maybe I am!?!
