Imagine giving a wedding gift to your beloved granddaughter, only to be accused of being cheap. This is what happened to my husband and me recently. We’ve always been generous with our grandchildren, providing both emotional and financial support. But it seems that our gesture was misunderstood and sparked a heated confrontation.
A Tradition of Love and Generosity
As proud grandparents in our 70s, we have a tradition for our grandchildren’s weddings. The day before the big day, we give them a check for $40,000. It’s our way of showing our love and support as they begin their new lives. We also buy a small present from their wedding registry, usually the least expensive item.
Our youngest granddaughter, Eloise, got married last year in October. We followed our tradition and sent her an air fryer, the cheapest item on her registry. Little did we know that this would lead to a misunderstanding that left us shocked and hurt.
