When my granddaughter Sarah\u2019s wedding plans took an unexpected turn, my husband Jim and I were forced to confront her shocking sense of entitlement. What began as excitement for her big day quickly spiraled into a lesson on gratitude and respect that neither of us could have anticipated.\n

We were overjoyed when Sarah announced her engagement and immediately started thinking about how we could make her wedding special. However, a few days ago, we received a letter from Sarah that left us speechless. Enclosed was a check for $5,000 and a note demanding we pay for a vacation she wanted as a birthday gift, citing years of \u201ccheap trash gifts.\u201d\n

Jim and I have always given Sarah what we could, including handmade quilts, heirloom jewelry, and financial help for college. Her letter felt like a betrayal.
