A neighbor of ours has five grandchildren that he's rather distant from and only occasionally sees. His two sons are each very successful multimillionaires. Yet he still puts himself through the wringer to send the grandkids holiday and birthday gifts that he has no idea if they like or want and certainly that they don't need. He also expects his sons to send him holiday gifts, and is pretty judgy about the quality and price. Tradition, I guess!
