[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No and have no interest in them.  They treated their Dad horribly as teens per their mom's wishes.  When they were young, we tried hard.  But, after years of doing things, like sending clothing (brands, styles, colors they wanted) and other stuff and never once getting it acknowledged (just it arrived, didn't even have to be a thank you), I gave up and stopped trying.  They only call if they want something, usually money which Dad will no longer give.  If the situation were different, I'd love them and would do a lot for the one who has a child.  We have a child and I cannot imagine raising them to hate the other parent and discouraging a relationship.[/quote]

Why wasn't their father more involved beyond sending clothes and material things?  Did he spend time with them? Show up at all their functions? Drive them to school?  Participate in their daily and care and life?

If not, it's easy to understand their resentment.[/quote]

Maybe their mother didn't let him see them much?   Just because you sacrifice a lot in a situation like that does not mean kids will reciprocate.[/quote]
