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]

100%. If you were resilient enough to create a healthy, functional family system for your children after coming from a dysfunctional family system with trauma and abuse you don’t have any obligation to give your parents access to your children. You can give your children their presents or not… It’s not clear cut. Whatever feels best for you. You’re giving your kids the gift of [b]growing up in a functional, emotionally healthy family[/b] and that is priceless. [/quote]

I think this is quite an assumption, given OP's reaction to a material object.[/quote]
