Jen and her husband, a couple in their 70s, were about to attend the wedding of their youngest granddaughter Eloise. Having four other grandchildren who were all married already, Jen and her husband were looking forward to attending the special day of Eloise. As per tradition, that no one was really aware of except their grandchildren who tied the knot in the years before, the couple purchased the cheapest item from the registry list and were about to hand the bride a check on $40,000.\n
Not being aware of this tradition, Eloise got really mad when she realized her grandparents bought her the cheapest item on their register list, an air fryer. She was quick to call them and slam them for their poor choice of gift.\n
\u201cSeriously, Grandma? I just got your gift. An air fryer? That\u2019s the cheapest thing you could find on my registry!\u201d She said after calling her grandma on the phone.\n
Jen, not wanting to spoil the surprise and reveal the real gift, told her granddaughter that the item was indeed a very useful one.\n
\u201cUseful? Come on, you know you can do better than that. Everyone knows you have the money. I just can\u2019t believe you\u2019d be this cheap with me. It\u2019s embarrassing,\u201d Eloise responded, visibly disturbed.\n
\u201cYes, you\u2019re right. We are 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 Jen revealed, but Eloise didn\u2019t want to listen to her.\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s clear. You just don\u2019t love me enough to show it. You know how much pressure I\u2019m under with the wedding. And then, this? It\u2019s like you don\u2019t even care,\u201d the young woman said as she hung up the phone.Jen talked to her husband and they both agreed Eloise didn\u2019t deserve their money because of her behavior and ungratefulness.\n
A few days passed by and Eloise called her grandparents again.\n
\u201cI just found out that it\u2019s true you gave the money to everyone else when they got married. Why didn\u2019t I get anything?\u201d she asked.\n
\u201cWe felt after your reaction to the wedding gift, it wasn\u2019t right to go ahead and gift you the money,\u201d Jen responded.\n
\u201cSo, you\u2019re punishing me? Is that it? Because I was upset about an air fryer?\u201d Eloise pleaded.\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t about the air fryer, Eloise. It was how you spoke to us, the disrespect. That\u2019s not something we expected or can support,\u201d Jen explained.\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s so unfair! I was stressed, Grandma. Planning a wedding is hard, and I just snapped. I didn\u2019t mean any of it,\u201d Eloise said while crying.\n
\u201cWe understand that it\u2019s a stressful time, but actions and words have consequences. We hoped you\u2019d understand the value of family and love over material things,\u201d her grandparents said with determination.\n
\u201cBut you don\u2019t understand! Can\u2019t we just forget all this happened? I need that money, Grandma,\u201d Eloise kept pleading them.\n
Eloise then threatened she won\u2019t be attending any family gatherings, including Christmas, but that didn\u2019t change her grandparents\u2019 mind.\n
\u201cWe love you very much. This has nothing to do with cutting you off. We just hope you\u2019ll reflect on this and understand why we made our decision,\u201d they told they granddaughter.\n
