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.
How do you deal with people who don’t give gifts?
One idea would be to stop giving gifts and instead send a card saying how much you love them. Another idea would be to spend the gift money on experiences that you could share. Or you could continue with gift giving but change your expectations of a response. I can’t help but wonder if they appreciate you but haven’t expressed it.
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.
Should you send a Christmas card to your five grandchildren?
Maybe this year, or the next holiday, you might send a card to the five grandchildren wishing them the happiest of holidays. Children should be taught when they are young to appreciate acts of kindness so they when they are grown and in the busy world, they remember to thank people who are nice to them, with large or small gifts, along the way.
