How do you deal with losing contact with grandchildren?
Join organizations that advocate for grandparents’ rights and look into your legal rights of visitation. Work on repairing the broken relationship if you can. Try to stay in touch by sending cards and letters to your grandchildren. Just keep the tone of any communication loving and light.

How do I convince my grandchildren to stop sending gifts?
I convinced my older, distant grandchildren that it hurts not to be acknowledged when we go to the trouble of sending cards and gifts. I did this by inserting a THANK YOU card inside the birthday card, and included a poem I found in a book of verse which was about how happy it makes us feel to know we are appreciated.
What is your solution to grandchildren not being appreciative of Xmas gifts?
My solution to grandchildren not being appreciative of Xmas or any gifts. I make candy or cookies, put in a small gift box with a card. If I’m not going to see them, I send a $5-10 gift card for Starbucks or some store they may like.
Do your grandchildren feel entitled to your money?
The money is yours. Sounds like your grands feel entitled to your money, and that your own children do nothing to convince them otherwise. If my parents gave my kids large sums of money, and my kids were not kissing Grandma’s hand, and visiting, and calling, I would smack them myself! Gifts are gifts, just that and that only.
Do you send thank you notes to your friends and family?
Yes, just sending them anything except a card. Ingratitude and rudeness are unacceptable. Thanks for voting! Why are you still spending money on people who are now adults? They obviously don’t care about you even to ring to say thank you.
