[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Much love to you all.

My DIL has not spoken to me in over a year except to ask for money. For the last 3 years we have picked up the tab for Christmas. Not that we're counting but over $20,000 in that time. That includes birthdays. And all we got was a picture of them dressed up to go to church. And it looked like an old picture. No video of our grandchild opening gifts, no Merry Christmas, nothing. She "forgot". We're still waiting for any pictures. Son doesn't say anything except make excuses.
I have decided not to fund this year. I just can't give to people that only know me when they want something. And I feel like a pos for what I'm going to do. [/quote]

do they ask for the money?
if they ask you could just say you can't manage it this year. you don't have to tell them it's bc they're ungrateful.[/quote]

also- you could put that xmas money aside for your grandkids and give it to them when they are older along with a letter expressing your love for them.  that is why you are feeling guilty- that your grandkids won't have a special Christmas but that isn't your job to provide for them and you dont need a lot of material things to have a good Christmas.
