My husband and I bought our granddaughter Eloise a wedding gift from her registry, but she accused us of being cheap. She expected the $40,000 cash gift we give our grandkids before their weddings. Upset, she threatened to cut us off.\n

\u201cWe buy a small gift from the registry and give a check for $40,000 the day before the wedding,\u201d I explained. This time, we sent an air fryer, the cheapest item on her list. Eloise called, livid: \u201cAn air fryer? That\u2019s the cheapest thing you could find?\u201d\n

I told her, \u201cYes, we\u2019re cheap, old, and useless. The only thing you didn\u2019t know is that the day before the wedding, we were going to gift you a check for $40,000.\u201d\n

Eloise\u2019s reaction made us reconsider giving the cash. Later, she found out about our tradition and accused us of discrimination. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t I get anything?\u201d\n

\u201cWe felt after your reaction, it wasn\u2019t right to go ahead with the gift,\u201d I said. Eloise, now boycotting Christmas, refuses to understand our perspective. Despite this, our door and hearts remain open to her.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
