My husband and I gifted our granddaughter Eloise an air fryer from her wedding registry, as is our tradition, planning to give her $40,000 the day before her wedding, like we did for our other grandkids. Eloise called, furious, accusing us of being cheap. Shocked, I revealed the planned cash gift, but she was too angry to listen. We sent a China set to appease her but withheld the $40,000 due to her disrespect. Later, Eloise learned her
cousins received the money and accused us of discrimination. We explained her reaction led to our decision, emphasizing respect over material gifts. Despite her pleas and threats to boycott Christmas, we stood firm. Her mother sides with her, but we believe our decision was justified, given Eloise’s comfortable finances and our past support. We hope she reflects and mends ties, but we’re unwavering, valuing love and respect.
