Justavice, you are full of vices, and may just have the right solution! LOL

Okay now where do I find a self-help book for a spoiled, squinty-eyed, always was a little on the pudgy side but thinks she's hot, gonna be a lawyer (she thinks) but her grades went down to 3.2, says she wants to commit the perfect crime, booby flasher?

Can you tell I'm not her best friend grandmother? I should be ashamed of such thoughts, but she certainly wouldn't be.

But in the end, you will just send her a card with a kiss and a hug in it from Grandma, right?

Don't do it Grace, send her the book and a 98 cent graduation card and sign the card with your name instead of Grandma.

No, Juju, not this time. I washed all the footprints off my backside two years ago.

Maybe I should send that book to my daughter, and tell her to pass it on to her daughter when she's finished reading it.

Hey, I have a grad card from 2004 that I never sent out. Do you think it would be good to recycle it for 2007? In addition to an enclosed card revealing a donation to a charity in my granddaughter's name for her present. What do you think about that idea?

I'd send a Get Well card, and mention that no doctor in the world knows how to remove a big bug if it's really that far up her ***, and unfortunately no amount of money will be enough to buy the cure; therefore, no money is enclosed.

I think I would like the crown for a while please, NT.

You should make the donation in her name to TVCH to support all your axe-murder friends. Maybe you could even track down a t-shirt to send her.

LOL Okay I know this is the gripe thread, and since I'm LMBO I don't feel like much griping anymore. Thanks everybody!

Do you think God would forgive me for thinking so many awful things, and even worse doing them? I might get sent a long ways down the line, huh?

Pamy, I really would make their day miserable and pay back sounds like fun, but forgiveness might never come if I did, darnit!

(I'll let you all know if I go through with it!)

God has a sense of humor, I know he gets a good laugh when he remembers creating pms and menopause!!! so I think having some phone fun would be forgivable :-)

Speaking as someone who doesn't talk to her three siblings, I'd try to be the better person, send a simple congratulatory card with no gift, and forget about it.

I think I would have to send a card with a note saying I wasn't coming and include a check in it. Then I wouldn't have to worry any more about it.

I think God understands that these thoughts are really about your hurt for being treated so badly. After all, that's what revenge really is, trying to make the other person feel as badly as you do.

Sometimes doing nothing speaks louder than doing something. I wouldn't even acknowledge any receipt of the invite. Toss the whole thing in the recycle bin and forget about it. No reply, no phone call, no cheque, no nothin'.

I agree with Prisoner. Don't let them bring you to their level. Send a nice card with a brief, polite note... congratulations on graduation and that's it. At the end of the day this is your grandchild, apparently being raised by someone less than ideal but still your grandchild. Years from now when she is an adult and better able to think for herself.. she may want to reach out and create a relationship. You wouldn't want to close the door on that possibility and besides, think how impotently angry that would make her mother. :-)

Imagine what you really, really, really want to say or give to her, have a laugh, and then mail her a simple graduation card (preferably not postage due!). I see no need to send a gift/money/flowers though, if she won't appreciate them. Taking the high road will probably give you more sense of peace and satisfaction in the longterm even if it won't be as much fun right now or make as good a story.

If you have one, perhaps you might include a photo of the family in happier times. It might stir something in her.

Call me bitter ... but I might send a card but no money, no gift and no family picture. There is a time when a person has to say enough!

I read this on yahoo. You know she won't use it, but she has nobody to blame but herself if she doesn't "get" a present from her - in my opinion - super cool grandma. Plus she can't say you got her a duplicate gift.

A gift certificate for time with you. Give a certificate for a special dinner or tea or dessert or other treat -- after the grad parties are all done. Give a gift certificate to help him or her pack for college! Give a certificate for doing something together that the recipient particularly enjoys.
