Fdh just got a text from a skid, a grandskids bday party is today. This afternoon actually. Not that I know bdays, but I usually ask if he wants me to take them a card. I did this untill I decided to drop the skid issue as he does not want a relationship with them. He didn't know it was the grandskids bday and doesn't want to go to the party bc of the mother (skid). This bothers me and I don't know why. Just had to tell someone who understands. He said he might get the gskid a card he said, but i guess I'm used to my grandparents. My grandparents were and are not distant at all.

You can absolve yourself of any issues by simply saying that you are not in the know. You really do not have to do anything out of obligation to anyone but your own self. I'd let it rest, ignore the text beyond informing FDH it came in. Call me cynical if you like but I suspect it's a move on the part of SD to manipulate gifts or ingratiate herself back into his life...for her own purposes! If you are pressed by anyone just simply tell them that they can resolve their own issues.
