Adult Grandchildren ungrateful or what?

I’m sorry this has happened to you. Let me say that has happened to many of us. They go their own way. Grandchildren don’t seem to care about grandparents. We were so good to ours, treated them well and the parents started turning them away from us. The children moved away with their parents and we don’t see them. It’s awful we send gifts but that is going to stop!!! They are not going to change! It’s sad!!

I have/had the same problem many of you experience with their grandkids, and had decided to stop sending gift and even cards to some of them because I hadn’t received a Thank You several times in a row.
Then one of the counselors chimed in.
She said that she too decided not to send gifts anymore, but she always let them know that she wished them well, that she remembered their special occasion, and that she loved them.
Think she sent cards, by slow mail or online.

I do believe in leaving the door open, and her comment made sense to me.
We may not understand the kid’s problems today, but everyone needs love. Let’s keep being kind! It may make a difference.
