She Normally Gifts Her Grandkids $40,000 As A Wedding Gift, But When Her Granddaughter Acted Like A Total Bridezilla Over The Air Fryer She Purchased Off Her Wedding Registry, She Decided To Not Give Her The Money She Set Aside For Her
A 70-year-old woman is a grandma to 5 grandchildren that she says are absolutely wonderful, and she has 2 grandsons and 3 granddaughters.
All of her grandchildren have gotten married so far, and her last granddaughter got married in October of last year.
Now, as a wedding gift for all of her grandchildren, she and her husband have picked out the cheapest thing on their wedding registry and wrapped that up.
Then, the day before each of their grandchildren tied the knot, they secretly gifted every one a check written out for $40,000.
She and her husband have said that they would like each grandchild to use that money to purchase a home, but they never really made them do that.
“We also ask them to keep it private (we have a big extended family, and we don’t want them to expect it from us),” she explained.
“They all honored this request. When it came to our youngest granddaughter, we bought her an air fryer (that was the cheapest thing on the registry) and sent it in advance.”
“Then she called us furious; she went off on us for being cheap and how she knew we had money but that we did not love her enough to show it by getting her something more expensive.”
Her granddaughter had no idea about the check for $40,000 that she and her husband were planning to give her the day before her wedding because the rest of her grandchildren honored her request to keep the tradition a secret, and none of them told this granddaughter about the money she was going to receive.

When she and her husband got ripped apart by her granddaughter for buying an air fryer off her registry, they were completely appalled.
But then, her granddaughter said that if they didn’t pay for a pricey present, she would not be allowing them to come to her wedding after all.
“We discussed it, bought her a China set, but we did not give her the money that was set aside for her. We decided that she did not deserve it,” she said.
“Fast forward to last week, she met up with her brother, they got to talking, and she found out about the cash gift that he got. She asked her cousins and found out all of them got the same gift. She called us furious for discriminating against her. We told her that it was our money, and after how she behaved, we did not want to give it to her.”
Her granddaughter began sobbing and excusing her behavior away as just wedding day stress. Her granddaughter also stated that they should not have taken her behavior personally because of that.
She just said to her granddaughter that she and her husband are sticking to what they already decided to do; not give her the money at all.
After that conversation, her granddaughter said she won’t be coming to Christmas with them, and also, their granddaughter’s mom (who is their daughter-in-law) has since accused them of being jerks. She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her and her husband not to gift their granddaughter the $40,000 they intended to after she was so rude to them about the wedding gift they gave her in advance.
Do you think this girl deserves any of their money?
