Adult Grandchildren ungrateful or what?

With all due respect to Richard Feynman, a noted recipient of the prestigious Nobel Prize for his contributions in Quantum Physics, he was reputed to have very tumultuous relationships with several wives, some who have reported that he was very boorish and constantly distracted from his relationships being forever absorbed in his work. It is not uncommon that people like him especially those involved with science often do not make the best relationships with their family members. I would have to say that if you want to make a reference to a credible source it would be best to look into what their strengths are. The issue here is how we feel about our relationships with children and grandchildren and I truly doubt that he is a viable source of reference in this case, just my opinion.

I have one old-fashioned niece. Her girls send me a handwritten thank you card for gifts.
I strive to give with no expectation of return or thank you, but it is difficult and I do get my feelings hurt when I hear nothing, plus sometimes just knowing it was received (like a gift card) is a matter of wanting to know hey, did it get to you? Anyhow, it’s a hard one and clearly I am not alone in having feelings about kids not saying hey, thanks!

And worry is not a problem for me - i don’t have to worry about anything - so I will gladly win the lottery and enjoy spending it or giving some away. 😊
