Adult GrandchildrenREspect is also earned. Don't wait until she is earning dollars. Grandparents are for teaching and setting examples. There are some circumstances where we allow people in our life to not conform to the norms of our society. Depends on your values. My family bible has always been "The little REd Hen". If you have a disabled child or gc, or any special kind of circumstances that would prevent them from being able to thank you continue to be generous.ViewDate:

Adult GrandchildrenDon't buy into "this is the way of the world" Keep you self respects, be around people including family that treasure you for who you are. To allow people to not respect you is feeding the resentment that you will feel and lose sleep over if you allow to continue. No words just actions. IMO say nothing to the family, just do what you need to do to set your boundaries and they will soon know that you can not be taken advantage of.ViewDate:

Adult GrandchildrenSounds like many of us have had enough of adult grandchildren who are not appreciative or respective of the senior generation. I have been sending $ to an adult granddaughter who is taking classes in college, not working recently due to covid, however will return to part time work soon, h opefully. I received a 1 line text when I sent her a bd gift card. Other monies I receive nothing, no text, no card, no email. A family visit recently and she said she had to do homework, always an excuse to not show at a family gathering. So, Time to be my own best friend and not allow myself to be treated that way any longer. No more $$ for anything until she decides that I am a person, with feelings, and definitely expect respect. I see posts that the parents are to blame for this kind of behavior in their children. Well if we continue to be the softie grandparents we are continuing that pattern. I have known forever that I need to take care of myself in regard to being around people that do not like or respect me. Lose much less sleep now. Families are those we choose not necessarily our biological family. :) -
