It's not yours. 
You have your children call them and thank them .. or send them a thank you card. [/quote]

No estranged grandparents don’t get to pretend they can side step the parents. If you are such a jerk that your children are estranged from you then by definition you are losing all access to grandchildren. You are entitled to zero access and interaction. No, this is not unfair to the grandchildren at all. It’s the protecting them from horrible people. [/quote]

and often the parents are protecting their children from dangerous or inappropriate gifts. My idiots in law who loved to go on cruises would send the free crap they were given on their cruises in a non padded envelope to us for holidays/birthdays. My kids were sent broken plastic cups, small keychain type things and other trash that was entirely inappropriate for 2 year olds. Another idiot in law insisted upon buying our kids their first trikes and insisted on a certain model which she liked  despite the fact that even on Amazon people were giving bad reviews with safety complaints.They were recalled before we received them.

My inlaws, who were idiots about children, insisted on all types of inappropriate things and they thought like the fool above that we were REQUIRED to do whatever they told us. One of my inlaws thought it would be appropriate to take 2 year olds on a cruise with them and admitted they wouldn't be spending time with them. They thought the cruise line offered babysitting where they could drop them for the day. [/quote]
